Nope. Curious as to what the cost and size of the container is though. Pricy no doubt if it says "gun" oil. I personally haven't found anything that works better than Mobil 1, 3-in-1 or any other general lubricant. Somehow people thing "gun oil" is some magic potion. Guns don't read the fancy marketing ads and just want lubrication of any sorts.

Not necessarily true, would you put just "any sort" of oil in your car and not care?
In the past I've used Tetra and a few other gun oils, but recently started using Rem oil with what they call VCI Technology Teflon in a spray bottle from Wally World, what an amazing difference it made, it's almost like having a mini action job done on my guns. I can definately feel the difference in smoothness and trigger pull.

I have used it for some years...better gun-oil than about any of the more usual oils..like 'Outer's'..Birchwood Casy and the like.
Doesn't turn to varnish..yet sticky enough to stay in/on the gun.
I get it at NAPA...off the shelf right next to the big bottles of Lucas motor oil treatment..gear lube additive..and fuel conditioner..they got tiny bottles of Lucas gun oil..

Having owned and driven British Cars (MG & Triumph) I would be very wary of anything branded “Lucas” especially in the cold and wet.
I used to have a bumper sticker on the MG that read something like this “The reason the British drink warm beer is that they have Lucas Refrigerators”.

Wrong 'Lucas'
That said..we got a 1967 MGB..and really don't have much trouble with the electrical systems...however I totaly overhauled the electrical..cleaned up the fuse block and conectors..ditched the 'dynamo' for a Delco..and converted to 12 volt negative ground system..put a lot of switches and stuff like that into it...even converted the tach from positive ground to negative ground. It's all good now..no worse than any other old car.
What is the address of the Lucas Oil company on your bottle of oil?
