So i am going back

[Grouse]

just saying that for near 200 year firearms have been oiled. i tried terta gun lube. i ended up with no end of extra work, mess and failures. i have yet to find anything that is as cost effective as 30wt motor oil. i have never has issues with motor oil on my clothes, or lint on my guns with oil. the last time i looked at my valor when it had lube on it, 8i thought it was a pistol shaped peach it was so fuzzy.


just my two cents. maybe some day i will get a hair up my but and try out kubes agaun.....um bad turn of phrase there. maybe some day i will revisit this issue and give them another fair shake. right now though i think i will stick to tradition.

Okie. I'm just sayin' after 30 years of using Hoppes and LSA, I switched to this stuff and it works great for me. YMMV

Hopies and 3in1, worked for ever. I'm a snob I use synthetic motor oil.

I'm using Frog lube. Works great on my NH, my valor, colt, Wilson and RIA ...just my thoughts

[Grouse]

No worries guys. I gave it a go, I was not impressed. They are all cleaned and oiled now...

I too have a whoooooole bunch of lubes and oils around. Slipstream (I do like the grease), ATL synthetics, fp, shooters choice, Break free... you name it... I've probably tried it. Like Grouse, I've stepped back to old faithfuls. I clean with Hoppes9, on a really dirty barrel I'll use a bore scrub, and for lube I'm running Mobil 1 synthetic 0-15w with a touch of molycoat lubricant powder mixed in. It's an old mil formula originally made by K&G lubricants (Gunkote). Guns cycle smooth as silk. But then again... well made, CLEAN guns always should.
