Double guns are not turbine engines. Just use something. Don’t run it dry. Clean off the old and apply clean new oil or grease often . I like Red and Tacky grease. A tube or can will last a lifetime.

Birchwood Casey makes choke lube and universal grease also. I got a few tubes of them, too. I figure they should make a decent product. 👍

No disrespect intended, Mark. But, corn headers on John Deere combines are not turbines either. But the manual calls for three different lubricants for them. Corn head grease for the gearboxes, polyurea type grease for the bearings and SAE 80W-90 in the chain housing. And, there are fellows here who paid more for their shotguns than a corn header costs. Point is, it's not that hard, or expensive, to use the best lubricant for the job, IMO.

So you are saying double guns are corn heads? Maybe you should try the oil and vaseline mixture on your corn head next year. I think that would be great.

I'm sure we can get another four or five pages of posts on this topic.

Meanwhile, I think John had the right idea, do not overthink this.

I know this is going to be tough for you, given your obvious problems with grammar and sentence construction, but try.

My previous post used what is called, in literary terms, an analogy. An analogy is a way of saying something is like something else to make a point. I can see that either that was lost on your understanding or, you purposely wanted to belittle my analogy in an attempt to belittle me. Either way, let's pick it apart to show that it meets the definition of an analogy.

A double gun is not like a corn head in any way, except the importance for proper care and lubrication. The lubrication part is where you got lost in the weeds, apparently. Certain places on a double gun need different types of lube to meet the needs in an ideal way. A corn head is the same, thus the analogy.

Read this through a few times and I'm sure a little light bulb will come on. Unless, your post was totally written in meanness and you really DO understand analogies. Makes no real difference to me.

'Bye now.

Thanks, Stanly. You are right on time, as predictable as ever.

My post was made in the same spirit as so many of yours referring me. What goes around comes around.

Now, next time, try to use something like a spaceship for an analogy. That way, you can sound even more sophisticated. Keep working on it. Your hobby horse is getting taller by the second.

Is not this so much better than when you pretended to ignore me?

From the land of hale rain sleet and snow sometimes all in one day and of course damp ,the UK. The most reliable double barrel knuckle lubricant that manages to keep in front of the weather here is Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease it stays where you put it it cant be removed with wet weather even on the rear hot sunny days it stays put, and manufactured on your side of the pond and one fourteen ounce tub will last you more than your lifetime if just used on a guns "Hinge Pin".
