Engine oil on your guns?

[Great-Kazoo]

Where do you buy the Lucas extreme duty gun oil?

NAPA carries it as does Markco

Guy's do any of you have a problem with the motor oil slowing the gun down in the cold? I ask because at one time I was on the frog lube band wagon, and I drank all the cool-aid I could, but the first time I used my guns in the very cold I jump of that wagon fast. I use Hoppe's #9 synthetic. I also use Hoppe's solvent for after shave but I find it burns a little

Use a synthetic low viscosity, or any low / multi vis oil to avoid cold weather issues. Any heavy weight oil will have some sluggish tendencies as temps drop.

I use ATF and Syn motor oil in the winter time. When the weather gets warmer I will use grease.

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.

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.

vectorsc did some work on my SPR a few weeks ago.

vectorsc: "When's the last time you cleaned this thing?"
me: "What?"
vectorsc: "I thought so..."

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.
