stumpys moose snot

[Stumpkiller]

Are there marsupial moose in Australia? You'd also get a hunting pouch pre-made with one shot. :crackup:

Unfortunately we don't, however we do have the marsupial mouse which is very similar, being only one vowel different. :crackup:
People do make handy little bags by tanning the scrotum of a kangaroo.

 

[brushbuster]

you can start your own line
roo milk

I'm off to the Big Smoke in the morning for a week, as I drive along I'll try and think of a suitable reply. :thumbsup:

Howdy All, Mixed up a batch of Stumpy's Moose milk & a batch of Moose snot for the first time today I followed his recipe to the letter & it turned out just as he said it would {not that I doubted him in the first place}!! Then I tryed it out in my new T/C Black Diamond & I was very pleased with it agin it did just what he said it would. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for saving me alot in the long run!!! :redthumb: :RO:

 

[Stumpkiller]

Use it in good health. :redthumb:

Stumpkiller. Enjoying using the recipes in all my guns. Is there a situation when both might be used ie milk to clean and snot to lube the same barrel or anyother variation. Thanks JM

I like Old Stump's lube for a gun I am going to keep loaded for a few days or longer. Thgat moose snot seems to coat that barrel for good protection.

Is there a situation when both might be used . . . ?

Soitanly. I use the m~milk for solvent to pre-clean my rifles before heading home. I have also been wiping with m~milk before the first loading to pre-coat the bore (previously I was using m~snot for this). You can also use the m~milk as a wipe between shots with the m~snot. And of course, m~snot is a protective coating for between-shoot periods (but I don't recommend it for long term, unattended storage).

Brushbuster,

I'm back but all I can think of is that we don't have Mambas down here. We do have the Taipan, one of the world's deadliest snakes...I'll work on it..."Taipan Essence"? :thumbsup: :redthumb:

[mike alexandre]

Right then. I've upgraded "MS" to ALL my muzzle loaders now - Bess through Enfield/Baker/Tryon and even the new Yaeger and its good. Lard has had its day with me. I'm not sure exactly where "MM" fits in yet on a regular must do basis - any reports please.JM :imo:

 

[mike alexandre]

Stumpy. Under what conditions or gun/bullet types would you use Moose Milk only please. Thanks JM

 

[Stumpkiller]

What I have been doing lately is soaking strips of patch material in moose milk. Laying the strips on wax paper and allowing them to dry overnight, then repeating a second dip.

I pre-load PRB in couple ball blocks and shoot/hunt from them.

In general, the milk works better from the bottle when you're shooting a lot from a single location (like a bench or standing at a range). The pre-treated dried moose milk strips or rubbing patches with Moose Snot and loading from the muzzle are handier when shooting from the pouch. You can also use the Moose Snot in PRB in ball blocks.

The moose milk as a liquid lube needs no inter-shot wiping. The Moose Snot and and dried moose milk both give better results in my rifles if I wipe every five or three shots respectively. (My Renegade is more forgiving than my New Englander and shoots them all well).

So there's four systems. You have to decide which works best in your rifle

Stumpy,
I recently made up a batch of your grease lube and M. Milk. The milk turned out/works great. I must have made some mistake in making the lube, as it is slighly thicker and not pliable enough for my needs. Is there something I can use to soften the mix and is this lube intended to be used as a rust preventative? Thanks, Swank

I used Stumpkiller's moosemilk again today and it worked perfect. I use it by dipping my strip of patch material in the liquid then I ring it out back into the small bottle. I lay that strip out on the shooters bench and even though it starts to dry out, I shot all afternoon off two strips.

I also made his moose snot and it turned out too thick, so I re-melted it and added more castor oil. Also if you will mash it up a little after it has set up it is almost the consistancy of vasoline then...

I used that today also shooting real conicals and it worked just fine. We threw a lot of lube around the yard today.. :thumbsup:

 

[Stumpkiller]

If you're following the 8:2:1 ratios of castor oil, beeswax & Murphy's, with a tad more Murphy's added after it's melted, and then stirred vigorously, you should be getting the right consistancy.

If you add too much castor oil you'll eventually reach the point where it curdles and never actually hardens up. It will still work as lube, but it will be a mess to use & carry.

Add a bit more Murphy's if you up the castor.

As far as rust preventative, the oils are long lasting and the wax keeps the oxygen off, but I make no guarantees. I keep my bores coated with Moose Snot and check them monthly if they haven't been shot and I have had no problems.

I also use WD-40 after cleaning, followed by dry patches and then a shot of Rem-Oil befoe I lube it up.

Don't use the moose milk as a rust preventative. Too much water in the mix. An alcohol patch after cleaning with the milk gets the bore dried out for a lubing with the snot.

I use more lube on the patch when prepping the bore than I do when lubing a patch for shooting.

I made some Stumpys Moose Snot today! Kind'a looks like fluffy pancake batter, but as I say, fluffy... Anyway, going to go test it in the morning! :thumbsup:

 

[mike alexandre]

Stumpy. Thanks for the update, I will go away and experiment. Re the mix for MS, I did mine to the letter and its turned out a bit like lard only smoother. Our daytime temps have been around 6 Centigrade for the past month or so and this lube comes out of the pot on the fingure easily and spreads on the patch with no effort. JM
