The crunchies didn't get involved with stuff like that Cinders! But in the arms stores there'd be a tub with old rags (if anyone remembers a stuff called 'cotton waste') soaked in linseed that they'd use to rub the woodwork of their rifles down with. But that all finished with the L42's, L1's and Brens/L4's.
