Easy , now .
I know what mitch said may easly come across wrong .
Just as easy lance as your question could come across in many ways .
. Lets step back here and take a look
You ask about Teflon . Where you meaning Teflon like Teflon tape , Teflon automotive spray or whats often called Teflon / no stick cooking spray
Now what does the above have to do with traditional muzzle loading ??
Well thinking on it and when you get right down to it , just about as much as bore butter , wonder lube , uncle mikes supper giraffe.
luggie’s .
I went to the kitchen and pulled out a can of no stick . Guess what the ingredients are
Soybean oils .
Seems like that would make a very good patch lube .
How many folks here recommend RIGG or any of the modern gun oils ?
Can you say petroleum distillates
So while I can fully understand mitch’s posts , I also can understand IronDawg
And his post
So in all fairness Mitch , Irondawgs post could be taken many ways , just as IMO he has taken yours on its face value .
. Now I know sometimes its frustrating . I have a very hard time communicating my thoughts . My writing is not good , nor is my spelling .
But im here because I like to help folks . I enjoys seeing people learn , think for themselves .
It makes my day to read where someone here has ask a question or had a problem and someone gives advice that’s followed by a post say , THANKS , THAT WORKED GREAT .
isn’t that why we are all here
Are we all here to learn ?
Mitch says he has had patches freeze to the bore while loading . Myself I never have . But I will now watch and see . Thus applying Mitch ‘s experiences to my own evaluations
Myself I never thought of using None stick for a patch lube .
I just may have to try it some time , might just work well in a rifle that’s having issues of some kind one never knows , I don’t , as I said , never tried it . But now that Irondawg has brought it up , ill do the same thing as ill do with mitch’s post , add it to my information base .
I have tried the teflon sprays. many years back . i did not like what they left in the bore nore how a patched lubes with it loaded in the bore .
was that "traditional" nope . but as i said nether is many of the concoctions many of us post . But we post them because they work for us .
Seriously could you imagine .
A group of fellas sitting around the fire . Maybe its 1740 or 1840 .
One turns to the other ands say . : hay Gopher tail , got any marvel mystery oil on ya . I lost my bottle of patch lube in that river the other day . I still have some Windex and 409 but out of bore butter and wonder lube , got any extra ?
While your looking , I lost my Bore solvent to , got any old thunder ? The pink will do but I like the blue colored one better .
GopherTail replies ; nope Raging Cricket , but I do have some hydrogen peroxide and a bottle of stump’s moose snot here .
it works for me
Folks , we never stop learning , NEVER .
Irondawg . , I will say this . With only a couple exceptions, I try and not take peoples words personal or frank .. . It works very well for this medium if we just try to laughand take everyone as trying to help in their own way . soem folks will gently lead you . others willlet you learn from your own mistakes . yet others will be abrupt . that just the way of people .
Now some of the folks here know me more on a personal base then most . They will tell you that it takes very little for my blood to boil and thus jump right in the middle of someone. it’s a very , VERY hard thing for me to control , as my blood goes from 0-160 in less the 2 seconds . Some of those folks can attest to that lol .
So I want to say , I think you did a very good job with the last post concerning this .
When you do run across something that strikes you wrong , just drive on Airborn . Because for every one of those posts that you may feel is off color in some way , there will be many . Many more that are not.
never , EVER let someon or something stop you from learning or asking questions
