Over the years I have used just about everything.
From the specialized gun lubes to Mobil 1.
The only lube I have found that stands out from the rest is Slipthream and Slipstream Styx from Crusader weaponry.
The stuff is absolutely amazing.
I use it around the house and on my vehicles also.
Be very careful where you use it.
The doors on my Ramcharger no longer hold open on an incline, and a buddy has a chevy truck that will lock the doors if you slam them now.

Mobile 1. Wipe it on, wipe it off. After using it several times, you can tell the difference.
Sythetic grease when grease is called for.

I've read that semi-synthetic motor oil is one of the best. Rem Oil gums-up like WD-40. I just bought a Sharps Carbine, using paper patch bullets. I froze the action after the third shot. Luckily...I had two experienced Sharps carbine shooter's, standing next to me at the range. One of them told me that --- during the Civil War, some soldiers had to piss on the dirty action, just to get it to function.

So one of the fellow Sharps shooter's comes over with a spray bottle mixture of: 1/3 Simple Green, 1/3 hydrogen peroxide and 1/3 rubbing alcohol and a rag. It worked wonders on the action --- then he used high-pressure plumbers grease to lube up the action. Another Sharps shooter told me to use Pam cooking oil spray on the breech face of the Sharps action. So... I've been using the Pam cooking oil spray on the actions of my 22 dedicated uppers just recently; and I will use the three part Simple Green mixture on my guns when I shoot corrosive ammo or black powder.

I like G96 Gun Treatment. Cleans and lubes plus, you can use it indoors because it actually smells good.

I clean and lube with CLP and put TW-25b on the rails. Once every few months and according to use I blast everything metal with Gun Scrubber then make sure I get everything re-coated with CLP.

Everybody knows that WD40 in the spray can is king.
Why use anything else???

Been using Frog Lube. Really great stuff. Anyone have any words on this. I seem to be starting to be a spokesperson on it as when I am making my YT videos i sometimes add in what I am using to lube/clean/protect with. Thanks

A vote here for Mpro7 Gun Oil as well as Mpro7 cleaner. No smell with either, and the oil has done well. The newer "LPX" has a cleaning agent to repel dirt. Haven't used it yet. It's not cheap but oil goes a long way. Have yet to find the perfect cleaner or oil but Mpro's as good as I've found and the lack of smell is a big plus.

There have been more oils and lubricants recommended in this thread than I can keep track of. They all have one common theme for their users... they are all happy with the protection afforded their guns.

The bottom line IMO is clean your firearms, wipe them down with the oil/lubricant of your choice after each cleaning and handling and they can be passed down to your grandchildren.

Sperm Whale Oil

Mobil1 and Lubriplate for me. I'm just glad we got past the stuff above ^

I just recently purchased a product called Ballistol. So far, I have found it to be flawless! It is a all in one cleaner, lube, and oil. It can be used on wood, plastic, metals etc... I have used Hoppes 9 or CLR for years, but I will be recommending this product for anyone who wants the best.

Ohh. I have been noting to try that stuff. It is not sold local here though

My skin is getting really sensitive as I get older and taking heart meds. I really like the green lubed. Frog lube
Mpro mildpec I want to try and ballistol is one I want to try
I do like the frog lube. Does anyone know what this stuff is made of. It says over twenty natural plant oils and wintergreen oil

To my way of thinking this will vary per the type of gun, how it is used and what the manufacturer recommends. For most of my revolvers and pistols I use Hoppe's solvent to clean and Rem Oil to lube.

Glocks are "dry" guns I only use solvent on the rail cuts, feed ramp and bore. Glock requires you leave the bore and feed ramp dry. Oil the slide rail cuts very sparingly. you do not want to get oil in the firing pin channel. One drop on top of the trigger connector, one drop on the outside of the barrel and lug and that's about it.

My little KelTec P-32, for example calls for using GREASE in certain areas. I do this because it is recommended but I really don't like using grease because it can "accumulate" and attract dust and dirt. I don't use it on any of my other guns.

My Colt 6920 AR-15 is a different matter. I use CLP on this. The frequency of use and cleaning I use I prefer to run it wet. I feel like this helps protect and lubricate somewhat more efficiently that running it dry. CLP is pretty thin and some believe that over a period of time it evaporates. I don't worry about that for mine because I shoot it at least once a month. Before I go to the range with it I run a couple of dry patches through the barrel and I'm all set.

On a side note I don't shoot solid lead ammo in any of my guns. Lead fouling can mess up the bore and be very hard to clean properly. This minimizes gun cleaning issues for me.

I heard that ppl use WD-40 on Taruasess

...another Mobile 1 user.

All of my guns seem to like it, especially the 1911's, they love that stuff. I've been on the same quart for years....

Uh oh !! Me having major flash backs on a motorcycle forum on whats the best oil. Lol it got very heated and ugly
