Testing various types of gun oil

Steinar · 03-09-2007, 03:33 AM

Yes, with the oil I used a patch, but with the grease I used my finger tips to smear it out, to have it as equal over the piece as possible.. (used paintwork solvent to clean finger tips between each sample). On a larger surface such as on a pipe, I think a patch will be best. As to the #12, I think the colour is NOT rust, but traces of the grease itself.. I'm at work now, have a more detailed startup picture at home. So I will check it out

No need for the tool yet, but I'm sure I will need it very soon. Truly great

those mainsprings have been flying around and causing all sorts of trouble, thanks again
