I’ve got a couple bottles and I like it. It’s got good viscosity and doesn’t seem to dry out. I also use it on the blades of my electric hair clippers (been cutting my own hair For about 30 years)
I like the way the bottle spout distributes the oil on the gun rails also. I do use it and recommend it, but I’m not a gun smith.

Just started using it on my 1911s and Taurus 99, there seems to be no problems. TIme will tell.

I like the Extreme Duty (blue color) one for revolver lockworks, and the regular (red color) one for the crane and cylinder.
I've used Break Free since it came out and still like it as well.

I like the Lucus products. A few years ago I switched from Break Free to Mobile One for wiping my guns down when putting back in the safe. Also run my AR’s , mini -14 , AK’s on Mobile One. I think it is a better rust preventative then the “CLP” products

I use the extreme duty on my 945 , 845 and my 52 . Use it on a lot of my 2nd and 3rd gens . Just a little bit on the rails . Been using it for a while and works great . It doesn't break down with heat and seems to do the job .
I figure if it's good enough for 4000+ HP dragsters , they must know what they are doing .

Thanks for the replies
I recently met folks from Indiana who know the Lucas family . They said they were great people and support many good causes from 2nd Amendment to Agriculture. I got free samples at Cattlemens convention and it seems to work well.

I started using it after getting a sample with a new rifle. I like it for lubrication and cleaning. It penetrates caked on poder fouling and carbon build up for easy cleaning.
I run it on my pre range lubes, kinda half smells like gear oil to me ... run it on lugs and where the barrel meets frame, wipe clean after use.... never had an issue
My primary is Wilson Combat oils

Haven't used it, but my guess is that it probably works as well as just about any gun lube on the market. Users here seem to confirm that.
I've used Break Free CLP for several years, as well as Gun Butter oil. Went non-toxic earlier this year with Lubriplate oil. They all worked fine.

I have one friend (gun owner) that loves the stuff but he never sticks with one oil for very long so all I can assume is that is works as well as any of the major brands that have been around for a long time.
I have at least 40 different oils, greases and dry lubes that I've tried and collected over the years and truthfully while some do work a little better than others, I can't think of any that won't get the job done. Some work better in the cold, some better in the heat and still some work better on EDC guns where you don't want oil or grease migrating onto your holsters and clothing - but at the end if the day I've never had one fail and create a rust situation or a problem with a gun malfunctioning because it was not lubricated properly.
On carry guns I use Rig #2 Oil or Remoil because the carrier evaporates leaving protection and lubrication behind and will not ruin holsters and clothing.
On Range only guns I like Breakfree CLP - just a great all round product!
On the rare occasion I use a light grease, I use Rig +P Grease.
To store guns long term I use Rig Universal Grease - never found anything better for anti rust properties.
IMHO Lucas Gun Oil probably falls into the category of the Breakfree CLP. Nothing wrong with trying it - but don't expect it to be a "miracle product"!

It works like any other gun oil on the market. I normally use whatever I happen to grab at any given time, but really like Lucas products. I tend to use it quite a lot of late.

Which can probably be said about most all gun oils. I highly doubt there were many gun oils specifically designed for guns.
That does not take into account the snake oil such as Gunzilla, Fireclean, or Froglube.
I want some of whatever they lubricate the big GE-90 turbofans with.
100,000 brake horsepower, 25,000 RPM, pressures and temperatures we can only imagine, and they run for hours on end with no need for repair.
Maybe Boeing or somebody would sell me a gallon?

Used most every thing Forrest makes never disappointed. As for guns they really dont require extreme pressure lubes, mostly lite oils and corrosion inhibitors.
I got some Amsoil Firearms Lubricant last year at a gunshow. Have been using it ever since and am pleased with it. I also bought a bottle of their gun cleaner, also a good product. I have seen Lucas oil at the local farm store, but nothing mentions gun specific like the Amsoil bottle does. Unless there is another gunshow in this country soon, I will likely run out of product. I did just purchase a new bottle of Hoppes, though, I like the smell of it.

I get the Lucas ones on Amazon.
