Actually what he is trying to say is the lube he uses to lube his barrels with after cleaning and for patch etc ,you don’t have to go straight home and clean your gun .You can leave for some time like a month or two with out cleaning it and it won’t be full of rust and nasties .He is referring to the natural animal fats that he renders or even the coconut oil and olive oil he’s uses .I think he uses the wipes for his hands and when he does finally clean he uses boiled water which removes all the bad stuff in the barrel ,lead fouling even the lube .Its all about the lube he’s using .
Try rainwater or creek water.
My self when I clean a use the kettle I dry patch it right away anthen I put a saturated patch with wd-40 down the barrel and leave till the next day .I don’t generally use oil till late fall for winter storage then ill use my bees wax and olive oil mix or motor oil and have never had any troubles .Your orange patches could have something to do with what your using to clean your gun with .Next time you clean your gun pour boiled water (hot) down the bore and leave it a couple minutes and repeat then dry patches .And just clean your gun with water outa the tap when clean the use the boiled water oh and have a glove on to hold your gun so you don’t burn your hand .You also need to realize that Brits lives in a very wet and humid climate and it works for him .If you have any questions Nathan would be willing to advise you he’s been at this for a long time but that’s up to just pm him he’s a good guy .
I've had a .58 smoothbores and they are great.
It's a non issue. Ever wondered how thick rust blueing a barrel is? Your tarnish is nothing compared to risking leaving some salts in there at liberty to eat iron!
I looked closely to see what the pink circle was supposed to draw attention to, then I realised
Awww dang. Thats a nice picture. Looks like your partner is having fun too
Thank you, I know. Long may it last.
