I have not used Shooter Lube. I will admit to using Painter Thinner several times when the house needed painting. For those with no experience, Painter Thinner is produced by the Anheuser Busch company, usually available in 12-oz. cans or bottles.

Thanks. I only have one left to clean but plan on getting a couple of them dirty again when it warms up just a bit.

Hmmm, another wonder clean/lube/protect gun product. I suspect it won't be the last. This does make me wax prosaic though. How long before we see:
  • Pfft, another useless and expensive product. I just use bacon grease.
  • WD40 has served me well for years.
  • Hoppes is the best and my wife loves the smell.
  • ATF is the best.
  • Frog Lube rules!!
  • Any old grease will do.
  • Mobile one is what I use and that's what the recon seal paratroopers use.
...and my favorite:
I just use CLP (of course those that post this don't realize that there are many CLPs out there including the one in the OP).



At least this one isn't too expensive.

If I hadn't already bought more cleaning stuff than I'll ever use and hadn't finished cleaning all my guns but one I'd give it a try.

I might just buy some and try it anyway.

If it works great, if not I'm not really out anything.

Why are you using a water displacing (WD) oil on firearms? Are you shooting them under water? WD40 belongs in an automotive shop, not in a gun repair/cleaning area.

Read it again, these are the phrases that are commonly seen on "What's the best oil?" threads. I didn't say this, it's what someone will eventually say.

But since you brought it up, WD-40 does work great as a cleaner. And yes, when you bring your gun in from the duck blind or shooting in the rain or if you live in a swamp, like Louisiana, spray your gun with WD-40 and wipe it down before putting it away and it will never rust.

I have also used a lot of "painter thinner", more commonly known as beer. Usually comes in 6-packs, 12-packs, or cases. Painters benefit from having their attention closely focused on the task at hand, while the blood pressure and motor response is modulated to permit close control on the work.

Some may call them 12-packs. I prefer to think of them as "support groups" or "12-step programs".

Your method may vary, of course.

I picked up Shooter's Lube a while back. Haven't had it long enough to say it's any better or worse than the assortment of other products on the shelf. Time will tell.

I been using USGI LIGHT WEAPONS OIL and USGI RIFLE BORE CLEANER for decades. I do apply moly to the metal to metal contact moving parts.

I burnish the moly into the metal parts first with a soft rag. Once the moly is into the metal contact parts there’s no metal to metal contact. It’s moly rubbing on moly thus no wear and reduced friction.
