Yes, it's been called Barricade for years. If you still have some called Sheath you either use it VERY sparingly, hoard it, or don't have enough guns.

I have hoarded it for years, and now I'm down to my last can. I don't use the spray version, and I apply mine with a clean, soft cloth. As for not having enough guns, I've been reducing the battery consistently over the past couple of years. The question has become "how many guns that I'm not shooting do I need? Roll Eyes

By the way, if spraying it in the air doesn't appeal, it does come in an oil-like format in a can for applying via a rag. Probably lasts longer that way. Perhaps that's how you've been doing it all along?

I use both. I wipe my guns down with the oil-type after shooting even if not planning to clean them, using either a wool wiper or a folded up rag.

Image Info: In my opinion this is about the finest rust preventative on the market and I have been wiping down my guns with this for a couple of decades. It used to be called "Sheath" and was renamed "Barricade" a couple years ago. After wiping it on the gun let it sit for a little while and it is absorbed into the pores of the metal, allowing you to handle the gun without any "oily" feel, but the gun is still protected.
