Engine oil on your guns?

[colorider]

Interesting finding about my hands on experience with Fire Clean. I got a small bottle to try it out. Seemed to work ok. However, the oil that got on the outside of the bottle becomes VERY sticky with time. Don't know if it does that when on a gun for a while and exposed to air, but sure as hell is sticky on the outside of the bottle. I don't use it anymore so it's not a problem.

Here's a couple of photos of the barrel out of one of my Glock 19's. Just over 1,000 rounds through the pistol and could probably just about pass for brand new as far as the finish goes.

What lube did you use?

The grease for things that slide or have high friction points and the oil for everything else.

I have some of their oil. That barrel looks fantastic for having a thousand rounds through it.

Ray is a soft shooter though.

I am. Also, if it factors in, I typically don't go much more than a hundred rounds before I do a thorough cleaning and relube.

I was going to mention that you clean a lot. I slap the trigger like it owes me money and by the time I get around to cleaning I usually have to use a chisel.

I tried the Tetra gun oil many years ago, it turned to cottage cheese on a gun that had sat in the safe for a while. I wasn't impressed. But that was just my experience.

I used to make my machine gunners go to the motor pool and get oil for their guns there, it works great on those monsters, especially when your alternatives are wimpy CLP or TW-25.
