Try a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and kerosene. You
will
be amazed how well it both lubes and protects against rust.

If anything is siezed the auto trans fluid will free it up quick. In
addition to removing paing it also likes to clean up rust.

But explosives are much more satisfying for un-seizing. All
seriousness aside, in my gun smithing days I had a Krag come in with
it's bolt rusted shut. Transmission fluid released it. I have no idea
how long it actually took since I soaked it over night.
