I've bought a T/C hawken 50 cal percussion fired ML:
So I've ordered my gun and all the accessories for my firearm. I ordered two different lubricants to be used on patches: mink oil and ballistol.
My question is how do I apply this lube on the patch itself, which seems to be missing from most general pages.
First question: do i actually need the lube to fire the gun? Most websites I've seen saying it helps increase accuracy and ease of loading. Ok, that's great: do i need it?
2nd: Will both lubes work?
3rd: How do I apply it, one is in an aerosol can, I can handle that, one is a harder paste. Do I apply it to both sides, just one, liberally or conservatively?
4th: Do i need to worry about applying too much or will the excess just wear a hole in my wallet over time?
Thanks in advance.
