Is there any particular oil that is better for old double guns or is any gun oil fine?

My experience has been that lubed wads are much easier to load in the brass shells. The lube also leaves a coating on the bores that may help with cleanup. Cleaning black powder is not that big of deal. A person can use just warm water and a patch. Ballistol or Gunzilla are two gun cleaning products I have used without water that do a very good job as well. Another product that muzzleloaders have found works well is Windex with Vinegar. You can buy that in a spray bottle at your local Walmart. I will use this between shots when shooting muzzleloader rifles to clean up the fowling. If I use water I then always run a 90% alchohol patch down the bores to remove any remaining moisture before oiling.

Jacob, why not be easy on yourself and shoot modern powders loaded to produce appropriate pressures?

I didn’t think you could shoot smokeless powder in these old Damascus barreled shotguns.. is that not the case?

Jacob:
Black powder can be fun, but a hassle. My 10 gauge lifter sees smokeless powder 95 percent of the time. Here’s my preferred load, which uses the readily available WSF: https://parkerguns.org/forums/showth...&highlight=WSF -Victor |

I was gonna be using track of the wolf brass 2 5/8 hulls and all the other components from them like the circle fly wads they sell. Will all those components still work with the smokeless powder?
