Ahhh.... The musings of life. To pack grease or not to pack grease, that my friends is something a man should ponder!
You must live in a very cool climate. Down here five minutes in summer heat would have Bore Butter dripping out of every nook and cranny.
Sounds like your a devotee, what’s the turn around time running these days.I just let Goons Gun Works do the packing. Problem solved.
This thread begs the question of how so many black powder firearms have survived the passage of time from before the ACW to the present.
Perhaps the animal based lubricants were as effective as present day synthetics.
The mountain men used bear fat, the plainsman sheep or beef tallow and the city man whatever wagon axels were packed with. Just saying. The key is more than likely cleaning the gun properly.
Well three years was a bit long especially when the firearm was finally returned untouched. I’ll shut up about it if I ever get at the very least an explanation as to why. A little search of these pages will revel that others have had the same problem.Funny how my "turnaround time" is important to some that don't have any reason to worry about it!

I’ve a recently acquired 1st Model Dragoon by Uberti I’d like to have tuned. Like most Colts it eats cap fragmentsNot meaning to steal Mike's thunder, my turn around time is about a week, sometimes less.

It becomes important enough when one’s 81st is around the corner.
If any of you folks that are devotees are wondering PM me and I’ll supply the rest of the story.

I DONT DO WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO DO !!! I DONT REATTACH LOADING LATCH LUGS, OR SIGHTS ON POCKET REMINGTON'S, OR ANY OTHERS !!! IT WAS MAILED TO ME MAY 27, 2017 AND "NO BIG HURRY. YOU QUESTIONED ME ABOUT IT JANUARY 15, 2018 . I TOLD YOU I WOULD SEE IF I COULD GET IT DONE SOON (I WAS STILL " THE GREATEST" AT THAT TIME) YOU STATED YOU WERE INTERESTED IN SELLING IT OR TRADING IT. NOTHING MORE UNTIL FEB 25, 2019 WHEN YOU REQUESTED AN UPDATE AND I MAILED IT BACK TO YOU ON 8-26-2019. I HAVE THE RECORDS AND TEXTS TO PROVE IT. THAT MAKES 2 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS - THATS 9 MONTHS SHY OF YOUR 3 YEARS.
According to the timeline you claim, you would still be waiting on the 3rd revolver I did for you (you know, when I was still the greatest?!!!)
