Slug Guns and Muzzleloaders

[4065shooter]

Kid,
Rich was a big fan of bear oil, I've never used it. I do have a small amout of "whale oil" thats real slick stuff. Bought if off a guy at a gun show who had a box full in what appeared to be a legit military cardboard box. Had one hell of story to go with the oil too. I had to give him a $20 for a bottle because the story was sooo good. I'd give neatsfoot oil a try. It's highly spoken of in my Ned Roberts book.
Rich loved freezer paper also. So do I, but I've stopped using it because it's not period correct, at least yet to be proven. I've been thinking about wax paper which might make the grade but I havent researched it yet. I used onion skin at the NRC with a few shots showing promise, however I dont think I was consistent enough with the oil application amoung other issues I had with the rifle. I'm rebuilding the rilfe so better days are ahead. KW and I missed having deep discussions with you.
