suzukiray Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Shepp, we ran Amsoil full synthetic 2 stroke oil at 100 to 1 ratio in the road race bikes with ZERO wear or issues. Wasn't aware they make gun oil now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I still use mobil 1 for deep clean and remoil aerosol for range touchup. They are both cheap and easy. One of my rifles that hasnt been used in a long time and had the 98 mystery oil liberally applied seemed a little gummy when I pulled it out recently. Anyone else experience that? It was somewhat sticky or filmy. Maybe I didnt get all the old oil off and they mixed poorly or maybe it got dusty. Just thought it was odd. I stripped it down and re-lubed it.

Ravenworks Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I mostly use the stuff the Marine corps gave me in 1980 Break free for my M16 and 1911 with a little grease on the rails. The key to ANY WEAPON is mantainence. When I was a M60 guy, I cleaned my gun in the shower with scalding hot water and dish soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Breakfree CLP . No grease on AR except for bolt lugs on a new assembly. I like 98's Earl on the rings , that I feel would make a better seal. For a dumb Sheet metal worker I have learned a $hit ton here. Always learning more. I save the grease for semi auto pistol slide rails, Garand. Edited January 6, 2019 by unforgiven It burned when I peed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenworks Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Only time I used grease was on my 1911,and very little at that. Edited January 6, 2019 by Ravenworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbas4570 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Why not use grease on an AR? whenever I have used anything else.....CLP, Weaponshield, Lucas, ect.....they all have seemed do either dry up during storage or after only a few hundred (around 500 or so) rounds. With my switching to high temp brake grease, all this has went away. Asking a question, not challenging.

bubbas4570 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 And if you want to see your 1911 slide speed increase, try a bit of copper antiseize. Not really good for functionality. .....I tried that many,many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 It gets cold here and I keep it clean and slick to not attrack dirt/dust that's all brother. I have more different cleaners don't use them. For barrel it's still Hopes.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease will cause you a lot of problems depending upon the environment you are in. In the service you learn to clean your weapon before anything else happens,period.

At one point my buddy had a buddy had a 30 gal drum in his garage. I still run my “toys” on amsoil https://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/other-products/firearms-products/firearm-cleaner-and-protectant/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
