Muzzleloader Bore Cleaner Complete List

The muzzleloader products below either have water as part of the mix or need water added to remove the salts from the potassium nitrate in black powder or its lookalike which may have a salt, ascetic or base residue. This is why water in some quantity must be incorporated in muzzleloader bore cleaners.

Christmas

Well over 35 years ago I heard this story told by David Arroyo of El Paso Texas. He said it occurred in one of Bethlehem Indiana or perhaps Bethlehem Pennsylvanian yearly Christmas play.

 The story was told long ago of a poor mentally challenged young man who also had a bad stutter he always loved a part in his small town Christmas play. But one year he wanted and insisted on a speaking part! He normally would be a Shepard or wise man but to give him a speaking part would be impossible. Finally it was decided to make him an inn keeper. His line was very short but would satisfy the young man. “Be gone there is no room in the inn.” Shifts were set up to help the young man practice his line until he could say it perfectly. The night of the performance the woman on the little donkey decided to portray herself in labor. When the young man opened the door and saw Mary in such travel there was a great silence in the background the prompts of friends could be herd “Be gone ” …  “Be gone there is no room in the in…” Finally in a clear voice the Young man spoke his part “Be gone there is no room in the inn! But come back later and you can have my room”. As we remember the birth of the King of Kings let us close our year with tender feelings and a willingness to give what is in our power to give that money cannot buy a willing heart.

Gun Control The Latest Old News

To try to convince society- - they we must be brainwashed to think we need to be protected by gun control. This is nothing more than what was done in Russia in the Bolshevik Revolution and Germany during the Nazi revolution. For those who are historically ignorant in Russia after disarmament it leads to the extermination of 66,000,000 Russians and in Germany it is estimated 11,238,000 to 15, 000,000 that number included the 6,000,000 Jews. An all-powerful government with guns historically speaking is more dangerous to society  than an armed public with guns. John Adams Said “The only maxim of free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.” The people of Russia and Germany trusted their leaders with such a trust which they used against them. Many of those who supported gun control would eventually face an open pit grave with no way to defend themselves and would be shot. The sad thing is that we might suppose that many of the supporters of gun control last thought were that they wished they had a gun.

Gun Oil, Grease and Solvent Complete List

The purpose of this post is to clarify emergency gun lubricating if you did not have, or could not get gun care products. At the end of the list you will see emergency procedures for when you have nothing to work with.  

Good gun oils and cleaners should be bought and back-stocked and are as important as a supply of ammo. If national disarmament occurs, you will not be able to buy any of these products. As for quality, they are all good. Break-Free Gun Oil and gun care products in my opinion are a little better, as it is currently tested and used by the military. Other than that, the list is all high quality. Look for the lowest price and the highest quantity when you buy.

First and foremost, we still have the ability to buy good gun oils and gun solvents. This should be first choice. The information below should be considered only if there are no other products available in an emergency.  

Understanding moving parts on a gun is critical to understanding oil. A moving part like a bolt in an auto-loader-semiautomatic firearm is of dissimilar metal or hardness than the receiver. A good example is the pistons in your car motor. The piston itself is of a soft metal and the motor has a steel sleeve or the block is made of cast iron. If the block was of the same metal of the same hardness as the moving piston they would bind, even if lubricated.

How Parts Fit- Guns can be broken down into two groups when it comes to parts fit. (1) Military rifles and pistols, (2) sporting rifles and pistols: The military guns are sloppy in their fit and need to be because when men are mucking around in the mud the moving parts are given some play so the gun will function in the dirtiest conditions. So in no way should this be construed that the gun was poorly made they are tested by being exposed to mud and dirt. Then the gun is expected to fire.  The second type sporting rifles and pistols have a tighter fit and are known for more accurate shooting but do not do well when exposed to lots of dirt and mud.

Lubricants – First you need to understand the metal is not smooth, the imperfections in metal at the microscopic level are dramatic and there are grooves and fissures, canyons, and gullies unseen by the eye. The goal of a gun lubricant is to fill these imperfections on both surfaces and allow them to slide against each other dramatically reducing wear. Lubricants can have additives like Teflon such as in the product called Break-Free used by the military. Break-Free Teflon emulsion helps fill the microscopic grooves and make any firearm work better. This is called lubra-plate. The Teflon plates the two surfaces that rub each other. This is said not to be true of silicone spray of some other brands and some brands say do not use them on a gun as it gums them up.

For an emergency 3 in 1 oil is a fair lubricant for guns as well as automatic transmission oils and hydraulic oils which are all light ten weight oils. Some sewing machine oil thickens over time and in the absence of gun solvents might need to be cleaned up with a toothbrush and a couple of tablespoons of solvent of some kind like kerosene, lacquer thinner, enamel reducer, etc. and in the absence of any solvent in a war for example a couple of tablespoons of gasoline. All requiring use in a well ventilated area away from sparks and flames. Though good for other applications in a workshop WD40 should never be used on a gun especially shotguns. The gun will need to be taken apart and cleaned with a good gun solvent if available and then reassembled and lubricated with good gun oil. Brake parts cleaner is generally a good solvent except for the ones containing chlorine. The chlorine eats on the metal in the gun and so you should read the label before you buy certain brake parts cleaner.

Do not use heavier lubricants - - a Gear oil that is 90 weight or less is too thick. Motor oil like the variable weight motor oils start with a small number like  5-20, 10-20, 15-20, 10-30. or 20- 40 etc. as there a host of others that start out as a light weight oil but thicken to the second number which may make the gun not functional when the gun heats up.
