[Marlin 45 carbine]

Marvel Mystery Oil.

 

[Elkins45]

50% ATF
25% Mobil 1
25% STP

Or Break Free, if you just want to buy something premade.

 

[OilyPablo]

Never have I lubed a gun with a single lubricant for any kind of extended period of time and rarely do I lube any given firearm with a single lubricant for all points on said firearm.

 

[Slamfire]

5W-30 Mobil 1. I have used quarts of this stuff as a lubricant, great stuff.

 

[The Bushmaster]

ATF...

 

[RustyShackelford]

CLPs...

I have used different brands of CLPs over the last 25 years or so.
I now use liquid Froglube, CLP: www.Froglube.com .
But on occasion or during some range trips, I might use Ballistol. An excellent all around gun care/shop-home product.
It's able to clean wood grips/stocks, rubber, metal, etc. Ballistol is CFC free & non toxic too. You can use it indoors or bare handed(like Froglube).
MPro7's LPX is good too. I gave a small bottle of LPX to my friend for his home defense Ruger LCR .38spl +P.

Anything that's slippery and can't be used for cooking.

Ribbet

Every steel object I've put Frog Lube on has never rusted or squeaked or shown undue wear. I have doubts about its cleaning ability, so I turn to dedicated stuff (Mpro7, KG12) when scrubbing is needed. My sole gripe: after Frog Lube sits for a few months, it smells like I've stored the item in a bag of lettuce.

 

[herrwalther]

G96. PITA to find locally.

 

[eyehatetofu]

ATF for semi autos and straight 30w for everything else.

 

[jcwit]

Whatever drippings I get from the oil cans when I change either my wife's or my vehicle.

BTW, I only use name brand synthetic oil.

 

[RetiredUSNChief]

Mobile 1.

Every time I change the oil in my car, I drain the last drippings out into a bottle which I use to refill my tiny Remington oil bottle, with the steel needle tip applicator.

I haven't ever run out of oil since doing this and I never have to buy oil specifically for my guns.

 

[medic15al]

Ballistol on my SAA clone shooting black powder, Hoppe's oil on my sporting arms (orange bottle) FireClean on my AR and VP9. Lubri plate to lube my M-1

 

[Valkman]

Marvel Mystery Oil

We used to use that when I shot Bullseye long ago, and we used lots of it.

I generally use FP-10 but recently started trying out Ballistol. I know it's great on wood!

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

great corrosion and friction test

[sauer1911]

+1 elkins45! Homemade, inexpensive and excellent stuff!

I also use 4 parts synthetic peak grease, and 1 part Napa anti seize copper compound. It mimics the grease you get on a new glock!

I only use the grease in the summer time, and in our "extreme" winters here in So. Cal, I use a thinner synthetic oil 0-30w Mobil1.

have fun.

be safe

Break free for me.

I've always liked Break Free CLP, I'm trying out Ballistol, it seems to work pretty good, but, it is somewhat malodorous. After the snow melts, I'm going to put a couple drops on a patch, put it out on the grass and watch to see if my dog rolls on it.

 

[zoom6zoom]

It depends. In a lot of cases, oil isn't the best thing for the application. I use a lot more grease than oil, usually something like TW25B. .

Rule of thumb, oil if it pivots, grease if it slides.

and a lot of those things like CLP separate in the jar or tube, be sure to shake them up.
