Description
Rust is the quiet killer of a good firearm, and the Birchwood Casey Rig-Rag is one of the simplest ways to keep it at bay. This is a soft sheepskin wipe that comes already treated with RIG Universal Gun Grease, so all the guesswork of how much to use is taken out of your hands. You draw it across the metal, and it leaves behind a thin, even film that shields against moisture, fingerprints, and corrosion.
The beauty of the sheepskin is that it carries and spreads grease better than a paper towel or old rag ever could. It gets into the little contours and lays the product down uniformly instead of leaving heavy globs in one spot and bare metal in another. Folks who use it tend to reach for it when coating slides and other parts that are a pain to cover evenly by hand.
What the Rig-Rag Sheepskin Handles Best
Think long guns going into storage, blued revolvers, safe queens, and anything living in a humid basement or heading into hunting season. It works on more than just guns too. Knives, tools, and any bare metal item that needs a corrosion barrier are fair game. The universal treatment means it plays nice across a wide range of surfaces.
Keeping Your Rig-Rag Going for the Long Haul
This is not a one-and-done wipe. It is built to be used again and again. Once the sheepskin starts feeling dry and stops laying down a good coat, you simply work in more RIG Universal Grease and you are back in business. Between uses it tucks into its own zipper-lock bag, which keeps the grease off everything else in your range bag or cleaning kit and keeps grit out of the wool. For anyone who already keeps a tin of RIG grease on the bench, this applicator is the natural companion that makes application quick and mess-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Rig-Rag come with grease already on it?
Yes, the sheepskin ships pre-treated with RIG Universal Gun Grease, so it is ready to use right out of the bag. You do not need to add anything to get started. Over time as it dries out, you can work in more RIG grease to bring it back to life.
Can I reuse the Rig-Rag applicator or is it a one-time wipe?
It is built to be used over and over. Once the sheepskin stops laying down a good even coat, just add more RIG Universal Grease and keep going. Store it in its zipper-lock bag between uses to keep it clean and ready.
What can I use the Rig-Rag sheepskin on besides guns?
The treatment is universal, so it works on just about any bare metal you want to protect from rust and corrosion. That includes knives, tools, and other metal gear in addition to firearms. It is especially handy for coating slides and hard-to-cover parts evenly.
Will the Rig-Rag leave a heavy, greasy mess on my firearm?
No, the whole point of the sheepskin is to lay down a thin, uniform film rather than thick blobs. It spreads the grease more evenly than a rag or paper towel would. You get solid corrosion protection without a gummy buildup.
