RE: 3 N 1 Oil
I like the Rem oil and have some Birchwood Casey. I use em both. Never used household oil since my Grandpa in Idaho smacked the can out of my hand many years ago. Don't hae a muzzle loader yet, but the above mentioned oils work on everything else I shoot.

RE: 3 N 1 Oil
Having used3 in 1 oilfor 40 years to care for a Winchester model 12 with a father who's done the same for 50 years with a Browning A5, both of which have been hunted hard for ducks in rain, sleet and snow and both of which are in excellent condition, I'd say it'sgreat gun oil. Not that there aren't other oils out there which are just fine. I can't say any are better and won't have enough years to prove it.

3-in-1 is a good oil if used for what it was intended for a short period of time. I would not use it for anything long term and I really do not think I would use it in a bore unless that was the only alternative. The biggest problem I have with it is it tends to draw, catch dust and lint...
You are really better off using a quality gun oil. There is a ton of them on the market... the military is pretty hung up on Break Free CLP. A lot of people here useBirch Wood Casey Sheath which now is called Barricade. And certainly other products designed for fireams will work... I am going to try another product here shortly, again a military product that is being used.

Have no idea of its abilities but want to give it a try - I like the thought of a natural product - I think....

Sure for short term use... put some in the bore - then use a couple of clean patches, run them through and take the exces back out...

No, I got the regular stuff to start with, but I probably bought to much for a test. Just the regular Slip 2000
