Just a couple of questions!
Hi!
1/2 of my Talon arrived! It’s (just…) missing the air tank (it arrived to my dealer scratched from the factory and he sent it back for replacement).
So… let me ask you guys a few (newbie) questions!
1- The barrel arrived covered with some orange powder in some places… is it rust or just a “high tech” finish? 😀
How do you guys keep it from rusting? Since it’s a Talon and a part of the barrel is exposed, is it good to always keep it soaked with a thin layer of oil?
2- What products are good for this purpose (I read many of you like FP-10… since I’ll have to import it, it would be nice to buy the right stuff). I’m using a gun oil named Abbey Gun&Rifle oil my sister brought to me from the UK… is it good? Because it was really cheap and that’s all I got for now… 😳
I used some of this oil inside the barrel too… I guess there was some rust inside too. Used a soft nylon brush and cleanned the barrel with patches with this oil.
3- My tri-rail is a little twisted (tri-rail’s top rail isn’t completely flat). Is it normal or I may have bought “a fake” one? And it’s not aligned with the gun’s top rail… it’s dislocated about 2mm to 3mm (1/10″) to the right side. This isn’t really a problem since I’ll use adjustable rings…
I guess this is all the questions I got for the moment…
I read the forum every day and before asking these questions I used the search engine. Sorry if I missed some posts that may have answered my questions.
Thanks!
I’ll post some pics once it’s fully assembled (still waiting for sling, bipod…).

I may have better uses to the butt you’re sending to me! 😀
My dealer received the air tank friday… I guess he will send it to me this week. Don’t worry, send it when you got the time.
Oh, if you can, please, send it by simple airmail or First Class… packages from the US are taking FOREVER to arrive… no point on sending by a more expensive way (like Global Priority… just don’t send it by surface, OK?).

I sure will
