With all the hubbub about what to use or not to use, petroleum or no petroleum, etc. etc., are any of you historically astute afficiandos and pistoleers aware of what great-grandad used to oil, grease, or other wise slick up his six shooter or rifle out there on the plains or at Gettysburg? Petroleum was in its infancy at that time so I'm figuring.....tallow? lard? veggie oils? Any good references?
Seems to me whatever they used would be just as good today and.....actually "greener" and sustainable!
(Hows that for a come back to the anti-gunners......we're sustainable.....we recycle......we use natural product........
