Gunslick

[PJO1425]

Any other Gunslick fans out there? I've been using it for 50 years on my Model 39. It's getting hard to find nowadays, even online. So what do y'all use to lube slide rails on S&W semi-autos, specifically 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generation S&Ws (blued and/or stainless steel?

Thanks

Slip 2000 EWL has served me well for over 100,000 rounds.

 

[Firesticks]

I use Amsoil synthetic grease that comes in a squeeze tube on my 1911 and Ruger MK3. I use it on the hinge of my O&U 20 gauge too.

NO NO you are behind the times, The Lube DeJour is now


ALG Go Juice (Purple) at only $12.00 per 4 oz



Engineered specifically for the total-loss, boundary lubrication system that is characteristic of all firearms, ALG Go-Juice possesses unique properties that will keep your weapon running in the most adverse conditions.
The most important property of a firearm lubricant is its lubricity or “slickness." In comparison to military grade CLP, Go-Juice is 500% more slick as determined by laboratory tests. Other key characteristics of a good gun lube are corrosion resistance and long term stability or resistance to breakdown that leads to gumminess and a gun that won’t function. ALG Go-Juice is made up of highly oxidation resistant molecules that perform exceptionally well in ALG Defense's accelerated aging tests and salt spray tests.
More Information See Below:

As a biosynthetic oil, the fundamental building blocks of Go-Juice’s oil molecule is a GMO oil seed that has been bred specifically for its lubrication properties. Being an engineered bio-based oil, ALG Go-Juice needs none of the heavy metals and toxic additives that other lubricants can use. Therefore, ALG Go-Juice needs no hazardous label and testing on synthetic human tissue has shown no tendency to even irritate skin.

Perfect for automatic weapons and concealed carry guns, we think that you will find ALG Go-Juice to be your ultimate “Go To Firearm Lubricant."

4 oz. bottle of ALG Defense's lubricant

FEATURES:

• Biosynthetic
• The latest in high performance lubricant technology
• Ultra High Lubricity
• Keeps your gun running in tough conditions
• Non-Gumming
• Perfect for concealed carry and duty weapons
• Non-Toxic

Some kind of Bean oil
Might be good on Popcorn

For whatever reason, I have found Outers Gunslick to be an ideal lubricant for Marlin lever action rifles. Really slicked up a 336C .35 Rem and a 39AS .22. Haven't found anything else that works as good.

Does it make water wetter?

 

[shouldazagged]

Rancid vole fat.

 

[notsofast]

Use it on a Stoeger side by side that wouldn’t break easily, it helped more than anything else I tried.

For the OP.

I think you will find any of the Otters, Hoppes fine family of products will do the job. As well as any of the other hundreds of them out there,

Gun Snake oil marketing is "fascinating" to me.

Take some magic and put it in a small bottle charge $96 per quart, $384.00 a gal for the stuff!

Better yet lets call it biodegradable, non toxic non hazardous

As we are shooting LEAD and all kinds of other assorted toxic chemicals in the powder and primers,

But damn, gonna use food grade cooking oil to lube a polymer gun with two little metal contact points.

Amazing that high performance high revving machines like race cars and motorcycles can function on dinosaur oil and new synthetic oils.??

I've got a few Gunslick products that I inherited from my Dad - but have no idea how old they are. I think I can safely say at least 30 - 35 years. I've got Solvent, Spray lubricant (still pressurized) a can of Oil and some miscellaneous parts of what was once a complete cleaning kit. I've even got a few Bronze Bore Brushes still in their blister pack. I do use most of these items from time to time and find them to be just fine.

SLICK

I jave used RIG for many years. especially on my semi-autos, of which I am down to just a few now. My 639 will get the stainless version as well as my AMT in 10MM.

Be reminded however, in Maryland all this stuff is now illegal as it may speed up firing ability Thanks to the idiot who made it so.. Also, jeweling your BOLT, must be especially illegal.

 

[Rpg]

Gunslick graphite lube is still readily available for $3.00 per tube.

Plastic tube, but the same stuff that came in the gun cleaning kit I got in the ‘50’s with my first 22 rifle.

Still works great.

One more time:

No company or individual has ever committed the resources for research and development of cleaning and lubricating products used in firearms under any and all conditions than the US Department of Defense has done.

GI surplus bore cleaner and lubricants are readily available at very little cost. I have several pint containers of bore solvent that I purchased over 30 years ago for $1 each, and I will never find anything better for removing copper fouling or powder residue at any price. I also have a dozen 4-oz. bottles of LSA (Lubricant, Small Arms) that I bought for less than $1 each, and there is nothing better under just about any conditions to be encountered.

Some of the new "miracle" products are little more than Canola oil, perhaps with an infusion of colorant or scent. What you can buy at the grocery store for $2 per quart may cost you $80 or $90 in 16 applicator bottles of 2 oz. each, but it won't do any better in use.

Outers GunSlick is a medium density grease with a high content of powdered graphite. Powdered graphite is readily available (used by locksmiths and others for dry lubrication of mechanisms) and can easily be combined with white lithium grease, wheel bearing grease, or other common lubricants to create a similar product.

Good old "3-in-1" oil, like Mom kept for lubing her Singer Zig-Zag machine, is a low viscosity petroleum product that is quite good for light lubrication and corrosion protection needs. But when put into a package stipulating it as "TOP QUALITY SUPER-DUPER GUN OIL" the price per ounce jumps by a factor of 5 or 10.

Tommy Bishop, highly skilled gunsmith of the 1950's to 1970's, strongly recommended Sperm Oil, harvested from sperm whales (back in the day when "SAVE THE WHALES" probably meant collecting the whole set). Watch and clock makers considered it best as well. Very expensive, even 50 years ago, and probably impossible to find at any price today.

You can buy the product you need, or you can buy the advertising hype. Your money, your choice.

But those old ones are not hip, tactical and promoted/endorsed by some run and gun "expert"


Just think if Ron Popeil was into guns!

 

[mauser9]

Ha! Gunslick Brings back some fond memories of the kits from Outers way back. Probably paid $2 for the metal tin that contained cleaning rod, solvent, oil, and a metal tube of Gunslick.

Think I still have one of those somewhere.

Hell, push come to shove spit works in a pinch

 

[Walter Rego]

On more than one occasion I opened up the sideplate of a used revolver that I had just purchased to give it a good detail strip and clean and found that someone had squeezed about a half a tube of Gunslick inside the action, probably in front of the cocked hammer with the sideplate on.
I guess that was better than squirting WD40 in there but I prefer something more modern and that doesn't make me think it is filthy with firing residue.

SARCO has LSA by the quart, 15 bucks.

If you want to get rich, buy oil for $5. a gallon, and sell it for $50. a quart!
