Oh now you are just showing off with that can of Sperm Oil LOL :-)
Been almost 3/4's of a Century since you could get that.
...
Showing off? Guilty as charged. I save it for special occasions, but I don't see that is anything magic either. I make a little bullet lube with it for hunting moose and next year, bears in Alaska, and things such as that. Gifted to me from a friend. Next time you are passing through Iowa, Brownells has a big shop and facility right next to Interstate 80 waiting for you. More than screwdrivers (I have the same set). And maybe make another stop or two to chase some pheasants. Should be a good year this year. Take care of those tollers - they definitely will take good care of you. That's a great photo!

Three falls ago, heading west to Nebraska on a non stop Toronto to Lincoln trip, I passed the Brownells facility. Made a poor mental note. Two falls ago I decided to stop for the night. Pulled off the highway and got a room in some small town. Got up in the morning and started driving with the vague idea that I would stop at Brownells when I saw it. I saw it from the entrance ramp heading back onto the interstate.  Last fall I finally made it in. Great store with lots of interesting stuff. And the full warehouse to back it up.

Strangely, I have never stopped at Brownells. They have a lot, but not much that I need. When I do, I just order like anyone else. Mostly just small supplies. But someday I'll do it.

Say what about lube for removable chocks? Would breach lube due the trick same stuff one would use for in-line muzzle loader.
Reason I ask is my RBL chocks are a [censored] to remove. I dont like the chock wrench which seems to work best with a more open chocks. Figure I might try a spot of breach lube if that will work. Kinda now wish the gun had fixed chocks.

Briley sells a specific lube for choke tubes. I use it and have not had issues. It is likely other EP lubes are just as good, however using theirs is simple and I know it is close to correct. I imagine other manufacturers also sell their version of choke lube. Other specially made or marketed choke lubes include from Brownells, outers, and birch wood Casey. I make a point of removing the tubes during Each cleaning and lubing them each time even though I rarely change them to a different constriction. That way they do not go an extended time and get frozen or more difficult to remove.  https://www.briley.com/p-52300-briley-unilube-synthetic-choke-tube-grease.aspx

I used to use graphite lube on choke tubes, but found it to be effective but messy. Switched to Mobi 1 grease and have had no issues.

Clenzoil for cleaning and rust prevention-S.T.O.S. for lubing rubbing parts.

Plus 1 on Mobile One grease for choke tubes. Either Universal synthetic or Mobile 28. Good stuff.
Choke tubes are actually hammered into the barrel treads with use, and must be removed and lubed, fairly regularly, or, they will seize into the threads in the barrel. Heavy loads and steel shot escaberate the situation.
Best,
Ted
