screamin the nice thing is... olive oil is easy to get. Its in the cupboard and on grocery store shelves. I was kind of leery about trying olive oil to be honest. But seeing the results that Semisane and others get with it, I figured I have nothing to loose. Now I have a lot of testing to try in other rifles with it. I have used ballistol and the one thing about it that I hated was the smell !!! That stuff stinks.
