I've got a couple of old

pellet rifles that have been used and abused and neglected. A generous dosing with ATF/Lanolin and a bit of steel wool left them with a nice patina instead of the speckled rust job they had before. The lanolin/ATF mix is the best for avoiding future rust that I've found. My daily carry PPPPPP has had nothing but this for lube/preservative and not a speck of rust to be seen on it. And neither of the above mentioned rifles has had further problems with rust since I started using it either.
