Hey, that's true. Here's something else we can talk about that actually pertains to my M1917. I always see the same guy at various gun shows in Western PA selling Ballistol oil. Don't remember seeing it in stores, gun shops, etc. I saw him again last Sunday at a show and since there wasn't anything there that I was interested in buying (for about the 5th gun show in a row) I decided to give it a try. Turns out to be a non-petroleum plant based/mineral oil in a spray can that's supposed to clean and lubricate metal parts and enhance wood. You guys are probably familiar with this stuff, but I'm still feeling my way around. I lubed the bore and bolt, etc. on my M1917. Looked OK. I then rubbed some on the stock. I liked what it did to the stock. The wood appears to have absorbed the oil and brought up the grain's appearance. It was probably a lot dryer than I though it was. Good stuff.
