A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a RP Rep. (well, actually she's a CALUMET employee - the parent company of RP) and she told me that they are working on a new gun lubricant. She sent me some samples and I'm gonna try it and see how it goes.

I already like their Synthetic Gun Oil; it comes in a spray can, is easy to apply and you don't have to use much.

I'm sure the new lubricant will be just as good, if not better. But it will come in a plastic bottle instead of a can.

This is just a heads up, it's in the making but hasn't hit the shelves yet.

People are already using synthetic motor oil for gun lube. Given the heat & friction motor oil is subjected to in an engine I would suspect that any brand would be up to dealing with guns.

I have very few "gun" labeled lubes & solvents.

Just another extremely high cost "solution" to a problem that doesnt exist.

It's true that anything with "gun" on the label gets marked up 500%. Like when you take a spray solvent like brake cleaner spray, call it Gunscrubber and jack the price from $2/can to $9/can.
 
I would be willing to bet it differs from their automotive offerings.

No need for anti-foaming agents,detergent package, etc...
 
Appreciate the heads-up, JJ. However, the shelf in my basement's cluttered with enough gun lube and cleaner to last longer than I will. A few were also the latest and greatest,,, till the next latest and greatest came along. I keep coming back to RemOil. I know a lot of guys don't like it, but till it fails me, I'll stay with it.
 
Maybe Hoppe's and Shooter's Choice should start marketing motor oil; kinda like the ketchup/mustard war...French's started making ketchup, so Hienz started making mustard..

I hear ya. I use RP in our vehicles and started using their synthetic oil (spray can) and liked it very much. Now when they bring out a new/different gun oil I'll sure try it.
 
It would be easier to list......

That sounds like good stuff but it would be easier to list the solvents and oils that are BAD for guns than good ones. I use plain gun oil and Hoppes and I don't understand the fascination with trying to get 'peak performance' out of gun oil like a motor oil needs. If it is good lube, doesn't gum up, attract water or corrode, stays in place and protects the surface, it's good stuff.

Motors run fast, hot, constantly under great loads between surfaces for long periods of time. A gun doesn't come close to those conditions and if cleaned and oiled on a halfway regular basis the oil is 'changed' after a few hours of work. Or a few minutes if you only count when the gun is actually operating.

People jumped on 'moly' a few years back but when I researched it I decided I didn't want it in my gun. The manual says 'oil'. I might take a risk and venture into a light grease but that's as far as I'm going.

I really don't understand, why everyone doesn't just use my favorite lubricant.

It's inexpensive, and works splendidly with all firearms.

Goat Snot, applies easily, and other than the unusual smell, seems to out perform, all the commercial lubes.

The only drawback, I can think of, is trying to catch the goat.

Try cat poop on a linoleum floor. It comes in bottles or spray cans.
