as a Certified Gunsmith, graduate of Colorado School of Trades,

Funny you should mention that Uncle Russ, the two gunsmiths that identified the goop, as well as several other times it happened were fellow alumni of yours!   :)   BUT..., who can say what else was on the guns?  The worst example was in the box a long long time, and the owner of the time didn't know what the husband put on the gun.  

I have been told by the same guys that the operational temps for the 3-in-1 oil are a bit low compared to lubricants made for guns.  Maybe not a problem for BP guns, but for modern crunch-n-tickers it could be.  I just took the smiths' words for it.
