Probably a lifetime supply of that grease for a few guns, Damascus. Lucas products are available locally, I use the fuel system cleaner in my vehicles in the last tank of fuel prior to an oil change. The only problem (for me, NOT you) with the non synthetic greases is performance at sub zero temps. The wide range of temp that the synthetics stay consistent at is a big plus for their use. Ive had some trips that featured hunting in T-shirts at the beginning, and ended in the cold front that follows a winter storm in temps well below zero degrees F. I suspect most who post here will never have a problem with lack of maintenance cleaning and lubrication of firearms. But, it is good to see what others use, and why.
Best, Ted

RIG for me too on all the contact surfaces on my SXS's, NOT just the roll joint.

A very slight smear of S.T.O.S. on rubbing parts. No oil! Clean and reapply after each use. 30 years experience and no issues.

You are joking, amigo. A Zirk grease fitting for a John Deere kingpin, but on a 12 bore AHE Parkergun-- like putting a Poly-Choke on a Pigeon Grade M12 Skeet gun- You have gotta be kidding. I use the same white lithium grease that comes with a garage door opener(Chamberlain)-- and apply with clean Q-tip on the hinge pins on my doubleguns--RWTF

It seems that most of us use what ever we have handy, For me that is " lubri-plate" in the little plastic container left over from M1 rifle cleaning kits( just a little "dab" applied with a tooth pick or small screwdriver blade). Mike

I'm back to Stos. I roll a q-tip in it to lock all the strands together then apply light smears to all of the moving surfaces.

Shelf life of white lithium grease isnt all that great, and it is hard as a rock when it is cold out. If I had nothing else, I would use it, but, there are better lubes out there.
