Happy Birthday, Jim....

Ted told you right with the Mobil One Universal, as it is about as good, and probably better, than most anything on our local shelves. What you're looking for is a grease with a higher Timkin rating of 60-70 which translates into much 'tackiness'. When touched with a finger tip, the grease should produce a long, fine stringer or thread of several inches.

That sort of grease stays put on the knuckle and does not ooze out under the thrust or load of firing - which does occur, contrary to some opinion. Because it is so 'tacky', it needs to be wiped off and replaced each cleaning session to avoid grit/dust accumulating.....which you probably already know anyway.


All Best,

Rob
