    I recently got a beautiful tokorov in 98-99% condition. My sweat is bad on guns. It is holding up fine with its blued finish but I want something I can put on cheap at home. Oiling is getting tiring. I do not have an oven other than a conventional one so I am limited but is there anything I can do?

    Just keep it oiled? That's just lazy to not oil it. I think parking or maybe duracoat (or something of the like, but I don't know much about that) will be your only options. But I figure both will still need to be oiled. It's metal, it'll rust if it isn't oiled.

    Yep!! what Flintlock said, also you can get a goldenrod dehumidifier rod for your gun safe that goes along way in stopping rust, I wouldn't try any home bake on finishes, I am sure Indy gun coat could tell you some horror story's. :D
