    Did I Find Some Castrol Gun Lube? UNIQUE!

    We,, to start off with, I found that it is virtually impossible to search for "LUBE" on a bullet casting site!! LOL!!

    I was looking for some bullet casting stuff I remembered having,,
    and, what should I find,, but, some VERY unique gun lube..

    I used to go to manufacturing trade shows back in the early 1990's, and earlier,
    I would bet that is where it came from.

    Research shows BRAYCO had some ties to CASTROL,,

    The bottle says "Shake Well"
    I would bet the lube has Teflon,,,

    What would "LSA" stand for, anyways??

    Has anyone ever seen this before??

    I have not seen a bottle like yours, but I have a metal oil can that fits in an M1 cartridge belt, that was made by U.B. Bray Co., Los Angeles,
    CA. It says OIL-LUBE., PRES., MEDIUM.

    Also have one made by Standard Oil

    Kinda looks similar to the ones we had in the 1970's for the M-16s. Screenshot from the phone. You have to kinda enlarge it.

    From my experience, LSA is a lot better small arms lube than Break-Free ever even thought about being. LSA is a white thick almost semi-solid fluid, vs a liquid.
