TFoley, I finally found where it says; "Contains petroleum distillates, and chlorinated solvents.

My own experience shooting revolvers and so on is NOT to use anything that has a petroleum-based content. I tried it out when I lived in Berlin and was the only person shooting BP, and even THAT with Pyrodex - no BP in Berlin, a demilitarised city ,but that was about 40 years ago.

Not tried them since.

YMMD.

I've used gun oils for allot of years and never had a problem. I don't use them when shooting but after cleaning.

Oil on the moving parts is not the problem - it's the use of petroleum-based products in direct contact with the flame - the grease on the arbour or in front of the bullets on a revolver, for instance.

 

[confederatemule]

TFoley, then I am safe cause I only used it on the lock mechanism and then wiped thoroughly.

OIL is cheaper than buying parts. that has been true for years & still rings true. there is a reason why it was invented!

The Japanese have a saying " OIL IS YOUR FRIEND ".

 

[toot]

ROGER THAT MY FRIEND. SO TAKE HEED FROM THEY WHO KNOW!! but some will not!

 

[toot]

OIL HAS LUBRICATED THE WORLD, & WILL CONTINUE TOO DO SO, at least till the POWERS TO BE GO GREEN! THEN THE END DOTH COMMOTH!

 

[Kansas Jake]

Oil will be with us for a long time. As time goes by other sources of renewable energy will come to the fore and become dominant to replace it in the same way internal combustion replaced the horse and steam engines. I'm not afraid of that.

 

[confederatemule]

I have another question.
Is there a way to keep the nipple from becoming almost impossible, or impossible, to remove?

 

[Desperate Lee]

On the lines of oil being your friend so is choke grease. Put some on the threads or any good anti seize grease is good.

After polishing the mechanisms of the weapon I use the same grease that I lubricate the chassis of the old pick up truck. Never have I put a petro product in contact of powder combustion, it will cake like piston carbon.

Is this the type anti seize you are referring to? I can get it in a 1oz tube.

Yep thatll work. I have a tube of it that is for breech plugs in inline muzzleloaders. Same stuff. A little bit goes a long way!

I will measure my ramrod when I get home, probably a week from now. I'll let you know the diameter if no one else has reported. In the mean time, if you want to shoot it, anything that will fit down the bore will work for loading. Like the top section of a 3 piece shotgun cleaning rod - the end with the handle.

Please do.

This response is to everyone who responded to my post.
Thanks a bunch, Y'all have helped me immensely.
I have two BP rifles, three revolvers, two more colonial pistols (one is flint lock) and a snake eyes derringer.
I have never shot any of them, because of a lack of knowledge. Even though I have probably watched most BP shooting and loading videos on YouTube.
I may get bold soon and shoot this Jukar Colinial Pistol.

Many Thanks, again.
Mule

 

[Kansas Jake]

Don’t shoot it or any of them. If you do you will descend into the smoky black world with the rest of us and be hopelessly lost.

I know how you feel. My wife bought me a TC Hawken for Christmas one year. It was a kit gun that was missing the instruction sheet and book. It took me all of 6 months to build it. Once done i put in the gun case and did not touch it for 10 years. One day a friend saw it and said lets go shoot it. I said a 50 cal will kick like hell. He knew better. We did shoot it. That was in the 80's. I been hooked ever since. Nike' has a saying , " JUST DO IT ". By the way i still have the Hawken and about 20 others. Pistols, revolvers, inlines, side locks, you name it i probably have had it at one time.

Mule, I just measured my ramrod. It is 1/4 diameter and 5 1/2 inches overall length. I don't use it because it is painful to push the ball down the bore with that small end. I made a short range rod with a larger handle end that I just stick in my back pocket.
