Default Has anyone ever used this?



I was recently given two older bottles of this patch lube called "Blue and Gray". It was made by a company called Blue and Gray Products in Milo, Maine. I can vaguely remember, but I think the friend that introduced me to muzzleloading back in high school used this stuff. It's in a plastic bottle with a fold out nipple applicator. It appears to be in good shape and not drying out any although it does have somewhat of an ugly gray color to it not that it matters. Any of you folks ever used it and if so, lets hear your opinions....BPS

I still have a tube of that in my old MZ box. It worked, don't remember anything bad about it.

I used that many years ago. It worked fine. But for some reason we got into using bore butter at the same time and that kind of went by the side.

I used it back in the 70s, then went to SnoSeal believe it or not...

I used SnoSeal until maybe 5 years ago and then started making my
own from a receipe I found on the Traditional Muzzleloading Fourm...
