I've been using Break Free CLP for well over 35 years and have never had any rust or any other problems and it protects as well as any of the other brands I've used. Works just as well on my black powder arms too. NC

Mole, I agree whole hardheartedly with you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Remington oil a petroleum based product and therefore shouldn't be used in a black powder revolver.

I don't allow WD-40 anywhere near my guns.....not even in the same room.

It's good to hear that he's OK. When he abruptly quit posting I was afraid he was having health problems. Good to know he's still kicking.

Anyone heard from kwhi43? Haven't seen any posts from him in quite a while. Hope he's alright. Anyone know?

It's a no brainer. I like the 1858 Remington much better. NC

Back during the day The G&G was never offered in any cal. other than .36 Is that correct? NC

I to miss Gentleman of the Charcoal a lot. I wonder if he might be posting somewhere on another forum using a different name. If he is, I'd like to know.

Busy hands94: Thanks, you cured my curisity. I knew you had experimented with smokless and would most likely have an answer for me. 600-700 FPS with BP should be enough for me. Plinking is all I do, but I expect this little feller would be ok for SD in a pinch. As they say it's better than a...

I've been wondering if anyone has compared a max. load of 4f Goex with a max. load of smokless in the NAA Companion. The max load of 4f seems fairly hefty to me. I've never tried any smokeless in it and probably never will. Just curious. NC

I have 2 1858 Remmies and haven't had any problems at all with shrapnel in my face. Both my Remmies are Pietta with factory nipples.
