Whats your Favorite gun lube oil

CLP for me, it's been battle proven and I get it for free from Security Forces.

 

CLP took a real dump in Iraq and the current deployed units now use MiliTec-1 which is a hands down better performer in dirty, dusty environments. I edited the poll to add that option since it has a solid wide range deployment with are armed forces.

 

On other threads I've read where this has come up, someone always starts a big argument by choosing Mobil1.


SO, I'm gonna say MOBIL1

(Oh, I do use it, along with some other lubricants, on my guns)

 

CLP here.

 

EDIT:

I voted "other"

I have always used Hoppes Gun Oil.




I may have to check into the MiliTec-1 as I have never used it before...

 

Remoil for me.

 

The poll should have a choice for "other".

I use and swear by gunbutter.

RemOil

 

I use rem oil on small working parts, mobil synthetics on slides and such.

 

Whatever I happen to have handy.

 

I agree to an extent--- I never had an issue with CLP (or LSA) for that matter--- But the weapons stayed pretty dry on ops when we went out. We did keep a larger ( maybe like 8oz) bottle of LSA for our guns (MGs, not rifles), but I never put anything but a light coat on my M16a2--- worked like a charm---

That was just us though-- every break/rest period, we took turns breaking our weapons down and cleaning them -- no more than 50% of us were down at a time, unless we were in the rear.

You would be suprised though how weapons maintenance is the difference maker. We trained with the Jordanian "Royal" something or others (King Hussein's "elite")-- They did not even know what lube was---

Needless to say, we did not do f&m exercises under their guns....

No wonder the whole Middle East is kept at bay by little ole Israel!

 

I use rem oil for bore and depending on temperature or use rem oil or dry lube on moving parts. Birchwood Casey Sheath for external metal & wood.

 

BreakFree CLP = good stuff.

 

What, the blood of those that would do us harm isn't on there?!?!? And you call this a poll?!?!?!?!?!? LOL CLP for me. Goes good on a nice crusty Italian bread too!

 

another break free man here. Military exp. is hard to beat.

CLP here as well, I haven't tried tha stuff Gman was talking about.

I considered oiling my frying pan for a cheeseburger with it this afternoon... :wink:

 

Ive always used Rem, my dads always used 3-n-1.

 

a light coat of Tetra Gun Grease for the slide & rails, light oil for pivot points & rust protection
