My 101 o/u preferred clays shotgun was fairly stiff to open. I’d always lubed it with Tri-Flow which I still think is pretty good lubricant. Then at a gun show a couple months back I saw a table selling Ballistol and I bought a bottle. It made lots of difference how that shotgun opens and closes now.
I sold off my 141 .35 Remington and my 760 .257 Roberts (regret that one) because they both rattled and it was one more thing that I could correct for with a bolt action.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
