Best Gun Oil

[bds792]

CLP is great. I also use RemDry, which is a Teflon spray, if I don't want to attract grit in hard to clean areas like trigger assemblies in my shotguns.

Thanks INGO!!!

I think Ballistol is the only one that is safe to get on your skin..soldiers even used it to treat wounds. Probably the best all around cleaner, lube, protector...and for the environmentalists- it is not harmful to the environment.

Welcome to Ballistol USA!

For anything that I don't want to attract grit, I just use graphite. Everything else, tranny fluid lasts a good long time, although its got a different smell to it. Probably wouldn't use it on an expensive gun though

CLP. I used it even before I went to work for them. It is by far the best. We bottle it in my Jacksonville, FL plant. Yep, I'm kind of proud of that!

Hey everyone! Super newbie here, please warn before pistol whippin... I have been using Remoil and Remclean for a few years now and love them both. Being able to buy such a large can in aerosol form is great! They last and are capable of forcing oil/solvent into the hardest places to clean. I highly recommend trying them both.

CLP

I like CLP very much,use it on all my weapons

Does anyone use Hoppes? Seems to be the standard offered at nearly all LGS. Is it inadequate? Is that the reason everyone is looking for something better?

Yup, I do. Came with the cleaning kit. I'd love to find one for both cleaning and lubrication.

Hoppes 9 - Used for years w/o any problems. I also use Hoppes powder solvent.
The smell isn't bad either.

I use either CLP, and/or Lucas gun oil. All my guns have seemed to continually function well and stay in good condition with them.

 

[Sdixon]

I use CLP or rem-oil if i need a spray.

WD 40 as protectorate, RemOil for lube on moving parts, but trying a new (for me) S&W oil...so far no like

Red death

Having been posted several times as an instructor/armorer where we had to issue, maintain, instruct and repair hundreds of firearms that included a half dozen different brands of hgns, Sgns, automatic wpns, rifles and other ordnance, the matter of lube becomes one of volume / cost. We used to mix ours up in gallon jugs, most of it was ATF, some Hoppes, some mystery oil, and whatever else we were in the mood for. We called it "red death".used it for years and they still use it....anymore I just use ATF, cut with a bit of Hoppes.....works just fine.

What little oil that I use, I use Prolong Multi-ourpose. Yes, the Oil is for your trucks engine, but it works great in firearms too. Better than 3 in1 IMO.

 

[toppgunnz]

I'm a CLP user. It was 1st choice for the USMC, hands down, by the Force Recon. That makes it my 1st choice as well.

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Rem Oil on moving parts, and wax the rest. Water beads off....no rust.

It's more of a solvent, unless you're talking about one of their specialty products. It also smells the best!

 

[t-trader]

Use Mobil 1. Works just fine.

 

[oldad]

Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Platium. Its free, whats left after the bottle is empty when changing oil.

i like that but i am a valvoline man myself
