For whom who likes sperm oil, this oil could be reaplaced by neatsfoot oil, oil made from animal joints. Its very light oil and been in use for clocks and watches and now for leather restoring.
I got one small bottle of this oil and use it as black powder patched bullet lubrication mix with bee wax. This mix works just fine.

So, Geno, you went from non-lubricant PTFE mixed in petroleum base, and then wiped off, to neatsfoot oil in the space of this discussion?
They are both crap. At least when compared to any synthetic lubricant, in any kind of head to head test, of any type and for any use, that can be dreamed up.
Try to argue that point.
Best,
Ted

I guess it's about time I weigh in with what I use. Drum roll. please.........RIG GREASE
Philbert - just this morning I found a little tube of Rig stainless steel oil, said "harumph" and put it back where I found it. Couldn't remember it at all. Little did I know the cosmic wheels were in motion because I just happened to see that's what you use. I KNOW your double guns ain't stainless - why this over the RIG grease?

I also use Neatsfoot oil and beeswax mixture to soak felt overpowder wads for bp percussion revolver. BP doesn't take kindly to petroleum oil.

A 50/50 mix of Mutton Tallow & Beeswax is supposed to be very good as a Black Powder lubricant, wads, patches, minnies what have you. The Mutton tallow is nowheree near as prone to going Rancid as Hog lard.

OK, the thread has suddenly switched to Blackpowder. I'll play along, I have many BP doubles. I've always found just melted bore butter or beeswax and rendered bear fat mixed gives great lubrication. The best ever was the ORIGINAL Lehigh Valley. Truly miraculous stuff, use it as a patch lube or a rust retardent when your gun is put away for awhile. Fantastic, but all good things come to an end. The company was sold and whatever they've been pushing the last couple years AIN'T the same stuff.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. George I stopped wearing that suit of armor YEARS ago. Your info sure coulda helped back in the day, that's fer sure.

KK,
Rig Universal grease is tackier and designed more for heavy duty environmental protection where as the +P stainless lube is much slicker while still being highly viscous. The +P lube was designed to prevent metal-to-metal galling that can occur between stainless steel semi-auto slides and guides. Yeah, I know, probably overkill but $5 worth will lube hinge pins for years.
