Gun loob!

I recently lubed up my AR with red cap Mobil1. The standard Hoppe's gun oil isn't up to the task of assault rifle abuse (3 to 400 rounds in a sitting) and would go dry and feel "gritty" after about 100 rounds. Some people on gun forums are swearing by Mobil1 synthetic auto oils (which makes sense if you think about how an automated weapon works. I'm gonna try to put another couple hundred rounds through it soon and see what happens.

Oh, and I put in on my run-raisin ice cream.

Boy!  That list seems to cover everything!  Refrigerators? Linings? Guitar Strings?  Linings for what?

I assume the list makers included all things made that use oil in their production process, not made from oil.  Therefor you could include just about everything.

Tom, they missed a couple things. After working on the car, bike, truck, etc., and your hands are greasy, you just use it to clean them. Works better(and cheaper) than GoJo. Squirt some oil in your palm, add a couple teaspoons of sugar and work it in real good. Wipe off, than wash your hands with some Dawn dishwashing soap. Hands come out clean and soft.

Also works as a hair dressing. Years ago there was a local 50's era band around the Orlando area called Big Slick and The Greasers and they all rode Harleys. Their "nightclub" had a large back door installed, the band would get things rippin' then all of a sudden the door would fly open and in roared Big Slick on his HD. He'd ride into the middle of the dance floor, cut a few Brodies(donuts to you youngsters), then shut it down. Reach into his saddlebag, pull out a can of 50 weight and pop a couple holes in it with a church key, stick his comb in it and run it through his hair. You wanted to avoid that area on the dance floor, especially if you had been bending your elbow to any great degree. Big Slick's group had quite a following for a number of years, often wondered if he went bald or had stock in a shampoo company.

Sounds like a good show!

it does say a 'partial' list    that's quite a shtick for a band!
