Thank you OH. Looking at the size of the typical tins would be a generous supply of Vaseline or other similar lube.

I put vaseline on my shoulder when I'm going to do some heavy shooting. It keeps your clothing from chapping your skin as the recoil rubs it against you. Nobody realizes it, but half of a sore shooting shoulder is from this. Also putting a dab on the comb of the stock where it touches your face will almost completely do away with soreness in that area.

I had always used STOS for that purpose up until I bought my SC-3 P-Gun. The seller gave me a little jar of pretty high tech lube, and said "use this". Label is gone, so I don't know what the brand is. Good news; I have a lifetime supply left. |

It's an absolute fact. I shot 10 boxes of magnum 10 gauge shells in two days this past winter with hardly an I'll effect using this method.

Does the Vaseline effect the stock finish? I believe Vaseline is not good on barrel finishes.

I've never noticed it doing anything to mine.

My friend, and gunsmith Kirk Merrington uses petroleum jelly ( vaseline) in place of “grease” on his workings. All forms of coagulated lubricants can attract grit. I used vaseline for my “wipedown” lubricant for years before changing to ballistol. Thinking of changing back..
