Gunzilla vs Slip 2000

[jstanfield103]

Ballistol, Synthetic grease for rails all good to go.

Gonna open this back up. I posted on this particular subject back in 2014. I still have my Gunzilla bottle and use it to this day. I haven't done any research on Gunzilla in years. Is the company still around? Does anyone still use it with any success and are still happy with it?

If not, what are most of you using to clean and lube your weapons currently. I just bought some Breakfree CLP and a tube of Super Lube to lube the rails. Any thoughts about using these products. I've read this is a good combo.

Anyway would be interested to see what most of you are using in this new year of 2019

I use full synthetic 5W-40 motor oil for AR carbines. I had one stop shooting during the first morning of a carbine course and the instructor pointed out to me WD40 and other light oils were no good for running carbines due to direct impingement heat. They used a mixture of synthetic oil and auto transmission fluid...a good squirt of it on the bolt carrier / bolt. I missed the mix ratio and have stuck with the 5w-40 synthetic only. It worked well with a similar course a year or so later.

For pistols and bolt actions I like LSA Medium Weapons Oil....I think from the Viet Nam era. It has a white color that may be due to Teflon mixed in, but not sure. Both have worked well for me when cleaning firearms.

3 in 1 works well when touching up a gun after handling it.

My wife complained about the smell sooooooo much....I bought another house just for gun cleaning.

NO experience with gunzilla or slip 2000, but they were part of a lubricant comparison in the link below

I just started using Hornady one shot, but too early to form an opinion just yet. I chose Hornady based on a multi lubricant comparison: Comprehensive Corrosion Test: 46 Products Compared | Day At The Range

In this test Hornady one shot finished very high in both a coefficient of static friction & Corrosion test against many other well known lubricants.

One nice feature about it is that it dries to the touch and doesn't attract gunk.

Hmmmm...my former wife thought Hoppes #9 would make a great cologne. It was the other things that made her mad.

I use and prefer Slip2000 EWL 30 and 725 gun cleaner.

I’m pretty sure wd40 is a water displacement. Hence wd. Also I know you can spray it into a wet distributor cap that won’t fire and it fixes it. I always thought frog lube was more like snake oil. But I have to admit that I haven’t used it. I would not advise wd40 in guns either unless you drop it in the river and that’s all you have at the time.

WD 40, I have always understood, is a clearner, not a lubricant.
Is this a new variation?

 

[Ribwizzard]

I dunno, ....I believe in proper lubricants making mechanical items perform better. I have three different lubricants that I apply to my guns after cleaning. #1 gun grease applied to sear face does improve trigger feel and that leads to better accuracy. So could a better double action trigger pull or smoother slide on a s/a. Everything kind of works together as a whole and just like in car racing, the more tiny improvements you make, the better overall package you have.

we use WD-40 as a starter fluid in hard to start diesel engines. works good. my gun grease of choice is Slide-Glide. i like red grease, that's why.

 

[jakebrake]

slip.... however.

I bought a used m&p 40c...I have no idea what pervious owner used....smells kinda like....Pine?

I doubt it was pine sol, or anything, but, it is an interesting smell.

wd....water displacing
40...the i.q. of anyone that uses that **** as a lubricant for any extended period of time.

they won't even tell you what's in it. it's Stoddard solvent.

Mineral spirits? Yeah, I guess that would have a rather low level of lubricity. Somewhere between isopropyl alcohol and diesel fuel.
I haven’t used wd-40 in years. I like Kroil and PB Blaster in the role formerly occupied by wd-40. I use mostly Breakfree CLP for cleaning and Molybdenum grease for high stress areas like slide rails. I’ve been thinking about trying some other stuff like Froglube and Hornady’s one shot looks promising.
