OMG! ~snorting coffee through my nose~ I hope you're close friends with Eaker, or you live on the other side of the planet from him.
Wipe down with alcohol. Use lighter fluid to coat the entire action, bore and trigger group etc and let it evaporate and reassemble.
What does this do? And why would you use such a flammable concoction? Isn't there something similar that's not so dangerous to use? Not just the flame risk, but to skin and inhale?
Yep me an Eaker are actually twin brothers....he has the only picture of us togeather......:o)
The flamable part of the lighter fluid evaporates and yer left with a really fine residue that is a POL non flammable base that is perfect form minimal artic needs for lube that won't let the action freeze or jam up.
Old eskimo myth.........right below the one about don't eat the yellow snow. (why Eeeeek lives in houston no doubt :o)
