Thanks!

With that number, I did a search on NAPA's web page and came up with this link for anyone wanting to order it online.

cgdavid,

It's "Lube gard" valve and assembly lubricant #BK.765-2602 Look at the spelling of Lube Gard.

YOU COULD ALWAYS USE K.Y. JELLY IF YOU CAN'T FIND MUTTON FAT.

According to Elmer Keith in the 1974 Guns and Ammo "Complete Guide to Blackpowder" I thought the approved lube for a Sharps was 1/4" of elk tallow.

cgdavid, ya, you have the right part number. Your NAPA parts store sounds like mine. I don't know where they get these people but they are about as accommodating as a chapped ass! They have parts catalogs for machanics who work on transmissions and that is where they get this stuff. I had the same problem and everytime I try to reorder another bottle it is the same blank looks. I don't know what else to tell you. Good Lulck!

JML ! Did you ever notice that Elmer and Jack O and the rest in those days were always writting every week or month about shooting deer, elk , moose , bear etc. ? Did you also know that some of them boys were arrested for Poaching at times ? Thats where they got the tallows sheep, goat, elk, bear , Buffalo ! JAGG

You're right about the salt in bacon grease, but pure lard won't contain anymore salt than the mutton fat.

Of course I'm prejudiced.

paul matthews in his pig lead book lists mutton tallow,lard, and deer tallow as all having a saponification index of .131 so they should be pretty much the same if one or the other is hard to get. don't know why he doesn't list buffalo tallow it is the true stuff and he doesnt list sperm oil either ........dang....

Lubegard is the name of a line of products. What you need to ask for is Lubegard Valve and Assembly Lubricant. The Napa part number is BK.765-2602.

Gentlemen, If you can find a butcher shop that does butchering for farmers, they will often butcher a few sheep each year, and they will usually save you all the sheep tallow you will ever need. Just leave them a business card with the request and they will call when they have some. My shop calls me several times a year and wants to know if I need more. But then, I live in Iowa where This stuff is normal. If you live in Detroit, you might not see to many sheep grazen.

I rendered down bear fat for use as patch lube in round-ball muzzleloader loads. Its really greasy stuff! Anybody use a "bear lard" recipe for lube in BPC? I guess I should invent a recipe and sell it for big bucks?

Lets see:
5 pounds beeswax
6 pounds lard of bear
1 pound duck wax
1 eye of newt
1 drop holy water

melted together slowly while stirred with bear-pecker bone and breathed upon by a virgin

Hmmm......

Thanks for your recipe, Jerry

I think you left out the preparation H to shrink the group, and the viagra for extra penetration

For what it's worth, Mutton Tallow from Dixie Gun Works is the main ingredient in my BP lube and I think it is great. I shoot a good deal of BP and have yet to find anything I like better.
