What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

Yes, I have.
Calcium based additives can prevent corrosion, but they are sort of like a band aide.

Can fogging help prevent the process or is it a degradation between the polar ester and moisture that affects the whole product being compromised or just a matter of rust?

I have experimented with a few synthetic oils(bike oils) over the years and yeah sure they do a great job.. BUT I had a WTF moment the saw had been sitting say over 6 months (last run on top dollar synthetic oil) I pulled it down to do more work and yeah it was dry as in nothing! no residual oil nothing! and things looked rusty if it had of had a steel liner it would have been game over!...
Mineral oil will still be in who knows how many years coating parts and a pooling in the bottom of the crank case kind of like oil is meant to I guess? ( I have seen this in saws that have been sitting as many of you guys would have too oil coating parts and a pooling in saws that have not run in many years, yup that's good old crappy mineral oil for ya haha)...
No matter really none of my saws can find the limit of mineral oil anyway so is a win win for me running it mineral oil and the money saved for me I can spend it on barbecue ribs and stuff .....

Ruger is a stronger design especially a coil spring compared to leaf springs. Also Rugers can handle a lot more pressure. Colts look better especially the case colored frames.

Rugers better for hunting, especially the super blackhawk 44 mag, but my Colt new frontier 45LC loaded with Buffalo bore works up close.

Tougher guns if shooting hotloads. I have several Rugers also

A Blackhawk in 45 LC with full house loads is something to behold.
I plan on buying a .480 Ruger Blackhawk in the near future.
