Hello RD,,,,This has really got me perplexed.Were chain fires a problem in the old days or not? If so,what did the soldiers use to prevent it and how was it transported.A glob of grease carried around in a pocket just doesnt make any sense.And why have we not read more about this in the old soldiers accounts..

Glad you were not injured when your revolver chain fired.Im sure it shocked the beejeebers out of you!
