After being recommended to me by a coupla' Aussie BP cartridge shooters, thought I'd give it a burl.
It works.
GP Liquid Lanolin Spray(red label)...... did all the internals and externals of my Marlin '94CB Ltd .45Colt, including wood and leather. Paraffin carrier evaporates off leaving a nice flowing coat that's good for the hands and waterproof.
Loaded up 50 warthogs, J/P 45-200 Big Lubes over wax card wad & 35gr vol Swiss fffg and headed to the local range. After every 10 shots did the "moist breath blow-tube thing" for problem free shooting. When finished, as recommended, sprayed liberally down the bore and through action, racked it muzzle down on some paper towel to drain.
Next day (Wallaby Jack leaves it 'til next shoot) ran several dry patches using rod & jag followed by a coupla' lanolin soaked patches and VOILA!...... shiny clean bore. Swabbed out the receiver with some of the cleaner dry patches followed by the wets and wiped over metal externals. Very happy
95% clean..... will do a full clean after several shoots. Apparently an occasional steam clean is good.
Next outing will run a clean dry patch down the bore, give the action a spray and it'll be good to go.
Looking to try it as a bullet lube, 50/50 beeswax and grease with a little Wintergreen Oil added to stabilize.
Gotta love simplicity
