lock and trigger lube

[Flash Pan Dan]

I use either Extreme Premium Deluxe Muzzleloaders Lubricant made of 100% unobtainium or Rem Oil. :wink:

A shot of Barricade and then a dribble of dry graphite.

If the stuff won't slow down lock time,??


I remember years back as a kid using something called "GunSlick" it was a graphite based grease type lube, it made such a mess on things smeared around on everything,, :idunno:

I have not seen any negative issues as far as lock time is concerned.

I still have a limited supply of the Gunslick, very good stuff and yes very messy. I have not seen it around in a very long time, almost as if it has been discontinued. Not sure though.

it is a Ray Miller built modified Siler. Most likely, properly hardened.

This is a point many disregard as nonsense, and is why your lock has faired so well.
Probably less than 1 in 100 locks are case hardened, it makes all of the difference in the durability of such a lock.

Many would be shocked at the amount of play in the tumbler when the main spring is removed on an unhardened lock.


Typicaly the guys that ridicule such information about lubrication and proper case hardened locks are not that interested in the proper function of their equipment anyway.

On my locks I put a drop of rem-oil on the moving parts such as the tumbler and sear. When I assemble a lock I put a paste made of petroleum jelly and graphite on the sides of the tumbler.
