What lubricant do you use on your firearms?
I have the standard Hoppe's #9 Gun Oil that I have been using for a long time. I watched a video on youtube and a gentleman on their said it's better to use grease because it will stay where you put it. That makes sense to me. So I am curious to know what everyone else here uses.

Re: What lubricant do you use on your firearms?
I have not ordered the SBGO yet... so I use Synthetic motor oil H-D 20W50 Syn3 its always handy when you work at a H-D dealership and I clean and re lube my guns after shooting them ( I know I don't have to but I like to ) so it works for me

Re: What lubricant do you use on your firearms?
I still have my old Hoppes cleaning kits, brushes, etc. from the 1960s.
Old habits are hard to break.....(unless something better comes along?) |

Re: What lubricant do you use on your firearms?
A mix of hoppes gun oil and Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil. Outer barrel and rails get Gunslick grease. So good that my stored guns still don't need a re-lube after a year in storage, but do it anyway for principal.

Re: What lubricant do you use on your firearms?
I've been using SBGO since I won a drawing for it here a year ago.
I use it on more than just guns, though. Anything that I want to stay lubricated long term... hinges, vise, etc. It's good stuff.

Re: What lubricant do you use on your firearms?
I have used Hoppes gun oil, and Rem oil in the past, and am still using it some, but am going to SBGO. Once the Hoppes, anf Rem Oil are gone, SBGO will be the only thing I use. It does make a difference, one that you can see!
