Which Gun Oil (Lubricant) Do You Utilize On Semi-Autos?

[HAGEN]

Semi Auto Lube

My preference is Miltec

 

[Ol' Salty One]

Mobil One 5w-30. Seriously.

MrChubbs .......... been using Ballistol (ballistol.com) successfully for over 30 years on all my semi's and wheelguns exclusively. I use the aerosol spray application sparingly, rubbing in with my fingers, on the exterior and interior of both semi's and revolvers. Wipe off excess with clean cotton cloth. I apply it to everything except the slide rails, preferring a few dabs of Tetra Gun Grease. It's also good to clean, preserve and restore any grip or stock material including: exotic woods, Ivory, stag, MOP, etc. Go to the web site to learn more about this multi purpose CLP, ballistol - The World's Most Useful & Environmentally Friendly Lubricant.

My preference is Miltec

Mine too and nothing else. Best lube/conditioner out there IMO. Their grease is a great product also.

CLP Break Free

For what it's worth, I was a armorer for a 80 man police department for 20 years. We used Break Free Free for as long a I remember. Used it on all the weapons from duty sidearms (Colt 1911 and Glocks) to the SWAT guys full auto HK's. Never had a problem. I guess I'm in a rut but that's all I use now that I'm retired . My 2 cents worth.

Sometimes the oldies, like Hoppes, Ballistol and Breakfree, are the goodies. They do a more than adequate job, are available everywhere, and don't cost a small fortune. Just because something is new exotic and costs alot doesn't that it necessarily does that much better a job.

Couldn't say it any better than that.....

You know what's amazing is if we ask 50 guys we'll get 45 different answers!!!

I use Rem Oil, but just because it's a bottle I had. I would probably buy CLP next. I used that on my AR15 in the military. My criteria would be that it lubricates, doesn't get sticky as it dries, and functions well in sub-zero weather. Some guys use grease??? Wow!

As for smell, I guess I kind of like Hoppes #9!

 

[Rule 303]

I use LSA in the winter and CLP in the summer.
The local Atomic Bomb Plant guards did a big time study a few years ago and found that LCP was the only lubricant that didn't tend to thicken in the cold of winter and the CLP worked great for a lubricant and a great rust preventive in the summer. I sweat in the summer, so I use it on my carry piece when its "Hot City in the Summer".

MrCubbs asked about a lubricanting only oil and stated he already uses Break Free CLP on his weapons, I also use CLP but when I need just a lubricant I use Break Free's LP LUBRICANT / PRESERVATIVE. According to Break Free's web sight LP offers everything CLP does just without the cleaner. I also use their Collector Liquid on the firearms that don't see that much use (safe queens).

Lucas gun oil

 

[Chili Vega]

Started using FrogLube about a year ago. It is Gunsmith in a bottle.

 

[mkygod]

Using Ballistol for general CLP use and Weaponsheild oil on the slides.

 

[Beejabbers]

Break Free CLP for everything in the safe.

 

[Anton Chigurh]

+1 on the Miltec. 1-2 drops will be all that a Glock or M&P needs to perk along.

 

[ET.]

I use Rem Oil to lube since it's inexpensive, can be found everywhere and one can lasts a long time. I know it isn't glamorous & all that but it works as well as anything else I've tried.

 

[Mountain Walker]

Breakfree, and very little of it. That is the beauty, and superiority, of the venerable Glock. Glocks need very very little lubrication to function and keep on functioning for hundreds of rounds

+1 Excellent advice for Glocks and M&P. Breakfree CLP applied lightly with a pipe cleaner works just fine and the product is also excellent for cleaning. Only downside that oil will evaporate or migrate over time, so quick monthly(or more) attention to your weapon is a good idea.

Camshaft break-in lube...usually Comp Cams brand

i figure if that stuff will take the abuse of the cam and lifters with stout spring pressures during break-in, it can surely handle a semi-auto.

 

[Bicky Robby]

Hoppes (i think I am addicted to the stuff). However, have been using CLP the last 6 months or so.
