K-31 Cleaning
I'm looking to purchase an original K-31 cleaning kit (found one for $20). And I was wondering, how did the Swiss grease their rifles? I know they used Waffenfett, which isn't available to me. Would RIG work? I read that any yellowish gun grease would work. How did they apply it to the rifle and stock and bolt? How would I go about doing it and removing it before I shoot? Would using an a original cleaning kit not be recommend? It's a pull through cord with a bore mirror and a chamber jag. Any input would be helpful, thank you.
