Bobitis, if you do not add some BBs to help the mixing, then you will need to shake it a long time. Once it is all mixed and you put it on look out! This stuff is awesome!!

IT stays like a grease but lubes like an oil and protects metal like nothing I have ever seen. A little goes a loooong way. This bottle will last me a long time

I put a couple of drops on a shaving brush to coat my rifles and pistols. And yes, a little goes a long way.

I took my chicom M37 12 gauge copy out in the rain last week and took it all apart to let it dry out. Even though I had been handling the gun with bare hands in the rain all I had to do was wipe it down with a clean rag after it dried up. There is still oil on the surface, enough that I did not have put more on. It sticks and it keeps on working even after you give it a work out. I imagine a good parkerized finish will hold this oil forever and a day if it works on plain blued steel that good.......

Any particular kind of BB's? I have some copper plated steel bb's but no stainless.
I havnt used it yet on any guns but I did apply some SBGO to the ram on my Lee Pro 1000. I let go of the handle and it just drops down like magic. Tomorrow I will try it out on my 1911's.

I just put 5 or 6 of the zinc plated BBs for my sons BB gun in the bottle. It takes a bit before I hear them rattling around in there, but it mixes it up real good.

I put it on all the internal parts on my chicom Ithaca M37 and when I press the disconnector the slide falls all the way down.

Amazing product!!

Like Boris was saying about haveing a gun out in the rain, it works well. I had my rifle out in the down pouring rain the other day and it got a good soaking (SBGO first, then rain), came in and let it dry off a bit and wiped it down and it still had a "film", coat of the sbgo oil still left on it. It just stays on there! It is some good stuff.

Why?

I wasn't thinking of galvanized, as it's just a coating that can flake off. Zinc plated would be better, but then, it's still just a plating. Lead is lead, though it could also leave remnants in the mix. Machine screws should be protected by the lubricant. No?

I guess you would be good to go with plain ole steel ones too lol. Dunno how it would react to the copper in a brass screw though........

I probably would have never bought a bottle to be honest. Jack404 and Shooter45 are owed by me big time.

The stuff is worth it. Just make sure you either shake it for a loooong time or add something to it to shake around. Once it is mixed up real good and you use it, the other stuff you have will be retired real fast......

Mate no thanks needed this way Thank the forum and its bosses for allowing this to happen, and to the memebrs who put it to a decent test ( thats important!!!!) a lot of places would not allow it due to sponsors or "PC ness" etc

I am very happy that other feel the same about the product , yes i sell it , but all i make out of it goes to supplying Aussie troops with the product and a tad on the side for folks who help all our troops ..

so Thanks Again TFF !!

Bob, try a small section of a wire coathanger to stir. Then wipe the coat hanger on a soft cloth and wipe down the weapon. No waste.

I am also very impressed with this product. I put some nuts and bolts in a bucket of water for a couple of days. Took them out, guess what. No rust. Now I know it wasn't a long test but the oil remaining on the nuts and bolts says something for the effectiveness of the product.
It takes a lot of shaking to mix properly, BUT, it protects my expensive weapons so it's worth it.

Shooter45

I got the original application still on the XD and it is all right where I put it. Even after 500ish rounds it is doing great. Today I tested it at -23F.

Gun didn't miss a beat. I can wait to do some 100+F tests, but when I do I will let ya know how it does. Might be a good minute before I do though...
