Re: Lubing base
About 20 years ago one of the best team shooters I have ever observed (was with the 110th OVI) told me that he had six cookoffs until he started putting a pea sized portion of white lithium grease in the base of his minnies and has not had a cookoff since. Well, I began that procedure based on his advice and after 20 years and surely 20,000+ musket rounds I have not yet had a cookoff (I am knocking on wood with one hand while typing this). I have no idea why, but white lithium grease seems to work. The closest I have been to a cookoff is standing next to shooters who have had one, and that is as close as I ever want to get!
