You should try a product called Ballistol. It was developed in Germany in the early 1900's for military use. It was found out that it was good for everything including metal, wood, leather etc, etc, and for cauterizing wounds. Its all I use anymore for everything. BUT take my word don't ever use it on an open wound it will make iodine seem like a cool breeze.

I never could get past the aroma of that stuff :eek:

I use a silicon cloth on the exterior more then anything . I’ve been packing stuff in the saves in preparation for my travels in July and I find I have four shotguns and four rifles it’ll take a little ingenuity to fit in one of the three saves ! Not to mention what I “may” acquire between now and when I leave :banghead:

Ballistic is good stuff. The Germans meant it to be used as an emergency field dressing and it did just that. I have used it on various injuries on my dogs and I for many years when nothing else was readily available. In those situations it was faultless.

I have been using G96 for 20 yrs. leaves no residue on moving parts and does not harm wood.

Been another fine day here. Took a limit of imaginary birds including a double. After that I really replaced a glass sediment bowl with a refurbished cast iron original on the Model A. Added a bit of truoil to a forend off an A5 that I have been fixing for a hunting buddy. I don’t fault him for wasting ammo because the third shot usually works. Sticking with the Parker’s. Even though it is almost summer the morning air was cold and there was a brisk breeze. Put me in mind of the kind of day that I will be chasing roosters again. Not wishing away the few years I may be granted but October can arrive any time now. Cheers Jack
