not wastefully, on all the metal parts of 
his gun. Gun coils can be obtained in 
either bottles or cans, the latter con- 
tainer being generally preferred by most 
shooters. Just enough oil should be ap- 
plied to the metal to form a visible oily 
[ film. It is a waste of time to try to oil 
[ a damp metal surface, as oil and water 
[ will not mix. The gun should be per- 
I fectly dry and slightly warm, so that the 
[ oil or grease will fill all the microscopic 
j' pores in the metal and form an unbroken 
i film that will give the best protection 
; agaist rust or wear. 
h A good gun grease should be included 
in every sportsman’s cleaning equipment. 
: Oils do very well where the weapon is 
I used frequently, but, if it is to be laid 
away for any length of time, a heavier- 
; bodied coating should be used so as to 
remain more permanently on the exposed 
; surfaces. In applying gun grease to the 
! bore of a rifle, the surplus must be 
' removed by running a cleaning-patch 
; through the barrel before a shot is fired, 
j Gun grease will come in handy to apply 
to the polished metal surfaces of a gun 
[ while on a hunting trip during damp or 
i rainy weather. Sometimes greases are 
made by the shooter himself from ani- 
\ mal fats. While some of these prepara- 
' tions are satisfactory if free from salt 
.: or acids, there is generally much more 
I satisfaction obtained in using an article 
^ that is carefully compounded and put on 
i the market for the use for which it is 
intended. Grease put up in collapsible 
: metal tubes is very convenient to use and 
■ carry on a hunt, and the manufactured 
' article has another advantage over the 
I home-made greases in that they generally 
have a pleasing odor. Greases or heavy 
I oils should not be used on the mechanism 
of a rifle as they are likely to gum and 
interfere with the easy or proper action 
of the more delicate parts. 
A few drops of a mixture of equal 
parts of raw linseed oil and turpentine 
applied to the stock and forearm and 
I rubbed well into the surface and finished 
by rubbing briskly with a clean cloth, 
will go a long ways towards preserving 
[ a lasting finish on the wooden parts of 
I the arm. Where this form of finish is 
f used exclusively on the stock and fore- 
r arm, a very durable and beautiful finish 
[ will be obtained by repeated applications 
at intervals of several weeks or months. 
The formation of frost on the metal 
parts of a gun when it is brought into a 
j warm room from out-of-doors on a cold 
I winter’s day, the sweat from the hands 
on a hot day, and the danger of damp- 
ness reaching a rifle after it is stored 
away, are a few of the common dangers 
that must be reckoned with in caring for 
a rifle. Then there are the precautions 
against leaving cleaning-patches in the 
barrel and the dangers of getting mud or 
snow in the muzzle of the gun, which 
may result in damage to the weapon or 
injury to the shooter if the gun is fired 
without their removal. Shooters with a 
meddlesome disposition oftentimes court 
death or permanent disability by attempt- 
ing to experiment in a haphazard way 
with heavy charges of smokeless powder 
or in trying to get a higher velocity out 
of a factory-loaded shell.
