Herb,

I also used Sheath at one time and I had no problems with it. During my un-scientific test with the salt water spray, it came in a close third to Clenzoil and Break-Free.

In actuality, by using the salt spray, this is not normal except right on the coast. Most any oil will protect from rust, but some are a little better than others.

Another lubricant is the type grease used on the sliding surfaces of pistols and rifles. On sliding surfaces, if you use any type high pressure grease, they do well. One of the best and cheapest is wheel bearing grease and it is available at any car parts store. I have used GI Rifle Grease for years and never had any problems. Lubriplate is another excellent grease. Recently, I bought a one pound can of lithium based bearing grease which was military surplus and it is NICE. It is a whittish/clear grease and works great on the bolt of my M1A rifle.
