Gun Oil Info

You ever noticed most gun oils like hoppes, outers, and others mention about lubercation but nothing much about rust preventative. I wonder why that is? I mean there's not too many parts on a bolt thats needs lubing other than the trigger and bolt. Just thinking out loud. No never had too much trouble with rust in decades of owning guns using hoppes.

WHen done cleaning a barrel I use Butches Gun oil and I then spray Remoil on outside of the gun and wipe it down. That is it and I never worry about rust because it doesn't happen.

I've used Outers, FP-10, B-C Sheath, RemOil, and Militech, never had anything rust except a Rem 597 (more of a quality of the rifle problem than protectant problem. I just use Sheath mainly because it smells the best.

G-96 gun treatment is good as both a lubricant and rust inhibitor.

Take a look at Corrosion X. My smith got me using it. I really like it. Larry

Holy cow people. I didn't realize the oils have expanded so much. All these new products. G-96, corrosion X, butches.

Break free was touting the best there was and is. doing all these metal tests with saltwater, and the goverment. When did they fall down.

I just use the M-PRO7 CLP after cleaning with MP7 bore cleaner.
Works great.

I read a recent military test results on gun oils used in Alaska's Artic cold, the Rem-Oil was an outstanding preformer according to the test results (I think the temps reached -30 degrees, if my memory is correct.) It wouldn't gum-up the action is it was really cold. Others oils were mentioned, but that was the one that sticks out in my mind, and the one I've used lately.

Tetra-Gun is another lube I use. Tetra-Gun's development was a direct result of NASA space program, or so I was informed by a gentleman who likes to look into those type of things.
