Lubricant recommendation

[Phil Giordano]

This two works great for me, Break Free is also good for a first step barrel cleaning.
Used both for decades now.
Also I use Ballistol a lot, for protection and storage.
But for pure lubrication, CLP and TW25B are the best I know.

I’d rather run nothing than use Rem Oil. Its corrosion resistance is pathetic and attracts dust in dry climates. Lucas Oil or Amsoil CLP products have worked great for me in all conditions and are my go to when hunting coastal Alaska.

No REM Oil fans?

That’s what I use. I only use a very slight film on the rails of my bolt guns and the action rails of semi auto shotguns when hunting. No need to overdue it for a handful of shots.

I use Break Free very sparingly on my Glocks.

Been mentioned previously. I like Ballistol, good for wood, metal and leather!

Which Lucas oil product do you use?

Which Lucas oil product do you use?

For a lube and cleaning I like Lucas Extreme Oil CLP. A bolt action rifle really doesn’t need much for lube. In fact I really don’t use lube on my competition rifles. Some CLP for protection and to slick the bolt up slightly is all I use and I have actions that have seen 20k rounds or more fired.

As a side note using WD40 on firearms in cold, wet weather. DON'T! One time my buddy and I were hunting deer in 10F with wet snow falling. When we made it back to camp, he couldn't move the lever on his Browning BLR to clear the chamber. He told me he had used WD40 before the hunt and it apparently froze up. He had to put it close to the tent heater for awhile to unfreeze it.
