Need to know if I've been pooping myself with this, been using it for years
>>
Coomoil is pretty good, it has german chemistry science behind it
>>
Rectum oil is just mineral oil, it's ok but you're better off using any synthetic motor oil.
>>
>is anything better?

At what?
>>
Clenzoil is my fav but Seal1 might be winning me over, Ballistol is also good
Honorable mention goes to Mobil 1 grease for M1 style rifles and carbines
>>

Mineral oil isn't going to hurt anything. I mostly use ballistol myself which doubles for cleaning and as well as lube and isn't too harsh. If I end up with something really being stuck then I've got some break free clp which seems to handle some baked on shit ballistol has trouble with but is probably way more cancer causing or some shit. In extreme cold I'll use slip2k which seems to do pretty well though dedicated lube is more trouble then just regular clp.

If I'm going to store a gun for a long period (>6 months) I thoroughly grease it. Means more trouble to get it back to operation again but better that than rust I figure.

Oh, I'll add that I had one rifle where the manufacturer specified lithium grease for a few internal bolt surfaces once in a long while. If the manual actually says something specific and the gun is still under warranty then I'd generally choose to follow that just in case. But almost no guns actually do that vs a generic "lube it once in awhile retard".

Buy gun oil by the gallon or you're getting scammed desu. And even then companies like Breakfree still demand >$1/oz for it. For reference: motor oil is like $0.20/oz for the highest end shit. Fuck em'.

Radcolube CLP comes out to $0.70/oz. Same shit we use in the army. My go-to.

Lucas Oil is $0.76/oz if bought by gallon. I have friends who like it.

Shooter's Choice FP-10 CLP is $0.57/oz right now on amazon. No idea how well it works relative to the milspec stuff - they don't advertise it as being milspec but that doesn't mean it isn't as good.

I don't think Remington sells Rem Oil in larger quantities. A bulk pack of multiple cans on Amazon still comes out to >$1/oz

Ballistol is the same way. Only sold in smaller cans. Always costs >$1/oz.


If all that is still too expensive I have literally used motor oil and it was fine.

Thanks. It's for a tempermental shotgun that's picky on ammo.
>>
>>64754524
That'll mostly be a gas pressure problem. Changing lube probably won't fix it.
>>
>>64754532
it's a pump and having a stuck slide with some slugs after firing gotta rip it like my dikk to make it go
>>
>>64754517
I don't care about whatever meme oil of the month fags are pushing, but at the same time I don't understand this OH NOES THE PRICE at all. You're supposed to use a little bit in the right places, not immerse the fucking thing every day. A single tiny bottle can last for fucking ages. It's the equivalent of spending like, fractions of a cent per round. It wouldn't matter if it's $5/oz or $0.10/oz it's still effectively nothing either way. If one was even the slightest bit better might as well.

OG /k/'s recommendation ca. ~2007 was to buy a quart of royal purple or an equivalent synth. oil.
20 years later I am unironically convinced we were right.
The gun oil industry, to include the gay kommando lubeshit, is an absolute scam/snakeoil industry.
>hurr but this oil protects against rust!
>durrr but this one is for machine guns!
Marketing retard bullshit.
Buy lube/oil, expect to reapply it regardless. Simple as.

I think what we forget is how many noshoots there are though. If you use and in turn clean your gun regularly then anything decent is fine and cheapness matters. But tons of people buy a gun and it sits around 11.99 months out of 12. Maybe some of the lube shit makes more sense then. That farm youtube did show there were differences in rust and such between oils over long periods. Kind of a frustrating thought though. Just fucking shoot more.

Also I think suppressors are an exception. Except for 22lr I don't clean them almost ever, they only need it after like 4000-10000 rounds. Shit is pretty built up at that point though. Feels reasonable it'll need something strong to soak in for a bit. Maybe I should buy an ultrasonic instead though?

>OH NOES THE PRICE
Because relative to any other application that uses niche and expensive lubricating oils firearms have hands-down the highest profit margins in the industry.

Go ahead and scammed though. Sorry for finding you a better deal.

Ballistol sells gallon.
