Bore oil is a type of oil used to clean and preserve the wood of clarinets, oboes, bassoons, and other woodwind Musical Instruments, as well as the raw, unfinished ebony or rosewood fingerboards of lutes, violins, violas, cellos, double basses, and Guitars. It will clean and preserve most raw or oil-finished woods used in most furniture. It is made out of purified mineral oil, sometimes with a small amount of essential lemon oil or other scented, concentrated essential oils added to aid in cleaning and/or to produce a pleasant smell when applied.

Why my muzzleloader will not fire?

Verify that the nipple has a clear path for the flame to get to the powder, that the powder is not contaminated with oil or water, and that the percussion caps are good. Try clearing the bore (pulling the ball and dumping out the powder) and swab the bore well. Clean out all oil with dry patches. Run a patch down the bore. Put a cap on the nipple and fire it. If the cap will fire and shoot the patch out, you know that the cap and nipple is good.
