I'm looking for gun grease that is equivalent to Waffenfett, a Swiss Army grease that is used as C/L/P. This is a perfect oil geek, er, I mean aficionado, question.
Background: for Christmas, Mrs. Astro is getting me a Swiss K31 rifle. An interesting rifle with a straight pull action and reputation for exceptional accuracy. I've downloaded the Swiss Army manual for the rifle, and it's quite particular that only grease should be used.
The grease of course, is Waffenfett, which is used to clean the bore, lubricate the straight pull action, and to wipe down both the metal and the stock (!). Since it's used on the wood, walnut in this particular case, beech in later models, I reckon that it can't be petroleum based. That would harm the wood.
I've seen a few European websites that sell it, but nothing here in the US. I've only found it on EBay as part of historical/collector surplus Swiss Army cleaning kits.
So, what's the US equivalent? Or, alternatively, where can I buy it here?
Thanks in advance,
Astro
