Gremlin looks adorable in that picture.
Since I’m a black powder shtoeor, in addition to modern firearms, that doesn’t seem odd to me. In fact, olive oil or whale oil would have been the lubricant available before petroleum products came around. Now, it’s true that those people weren’t working with self-loading guns, but black powder can gum up a gun in just a few rounds. Following advice of some in the know, I put a Crisco covering on each ball at the front of the chamber of my cap and ball revolver and get the stuff smeared around. That keeps the fouling slick.Having cooked with olive oil now and then, I would like to see how it stands up to repeated firing.
