Hello all,

I recently purchased myself a swiss G1911, and I love it. The gun is beautiful, and very accurate. However, I am concerned about how I can keep this rifle in original military fit & finish. I know in service Wood and metal was wiped with Waffenfett to protect from moisture/rust. I have looked far and wide for a Waffenfett recipe, but have only found Guisans recipe for the 1870s stuff (Tallow & Olive oil, to clean bore, not suitable for wood as you could imagine). Does anyone out there have a Recipe for the grease, or use other products that closely imitate its properties to keep their guns in original shape?

Appreciate any replies,
CanadianLanBoy
