I serched lube but all that I found was for sizing cases. What I am asking about is what is the preferred lube for the hinge pin on a double rifle. for relatively clean I have found RIG or even RCBS case lube provides sufficient lubrication for the pivot, but I am concerned that either might be quite an attractant to dust and dirt, which are common on most Africa hunts. What is suggested fofr use in those locations?
 
I use this on my shotguns, but Jeff's look to both be out of stock and shutting down shop. One of these little tubs seems to last forever, perhaps there is another source?

I reckon any Teflon based grease will do the job perfectly well. You needn't fuss about anyone’s secret recipe. Any grease is of course going to get dust stuck on it. If that’s a worry of major concern clean it off every evening over a beer, whiskey and a cigar and reapply fresh grease.
 
Ken Owen’s grease all I use on all doubles.

Here's a photo of Tony receiving that Shaw & Hunter award at the 1970 annual EAPHA Dinner Dance. Tony Dyer, then EAPHA President and Princess (Sunny) von Auersperg presented it. I also attended the event.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ
