https://www.shooterlube.com/First I’ve heard of it. Do you have a link for it?
I've used it occasionally off and on for about a year.Does anyone here have first hand experience with this 2-part Shooter Lube I'm seeing advertised everywhere online lately? Good stuff? Don't bother?
I use M1 Garand grease, Ballistol and Hoppes.
I might use the Sweets 7.62 every once in a while, but not all the time.
I appreciate all the input . . .
I'm going to enjoy this beautiful fall afternoon and go to the range!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Mobil 1 for lube
What logic, pray tell, is behind that particular formula, or is it just what was laying around in the garage?Homebrew
2 parts Mobil 1 10w30
2 parts Castrol Transmax Dex 6
1 part Mobil 1 75-90 gear oil
Got about 1 1/2 gallons mixed up...figure I'll be dead fore that jug's empty.

I've never used the base product but this is a light oil. In a clear vial it looks dark and colorless, but light and clear by the drop.I’ve been using CorrosionX to wipe down guns stored in the safe (inside barrels and chambers too). I actually didn’t realize they make a dedicated gun lubricant. I suppose the major difference would be a lighter viscosity?
Yep! Cousin Jerry gave me a gallon of Break Free about 20 years ago, still using it. BUT when it Does go Ima Mobil1 guy...figure I'll be dead fore that jug's empty.
The main thing I have learned over the years isn't WHAT you use, its that you use it at all.
Old Engineering Lore applicable to firearms:
- If it rotates, oil it
- If it slides, grease it
I race RC sailboats, occasionally in salt water with real wind and chop; you can imagine in that environment how important corrosion protection might be to receiver, battery and servo connections, and I became well familiar with Corrosion-X; it's awesome. Use it on guns too, more for protection than lube. I had an opportunity to talk to a representative from Corrosion-X, and I asked him how their gun oil product differed from the general spray can stuff. He said it is the same stuff, just packaged differently - so buy whatever package suits you. I apply a drop to all connectors at least once a year and (touch wood) have not had any electrical failures.I’ve been using CorrosionX to wipe down guns stored in the safe (inside barrels and chambers too).

That's awesome about the sailboats, I'd like to see that one day. I prefer the aerial variety, but a boat would come in handy when I stuff a float plane in the lake, lol.I race RC sailboats, occasionally in salt water with real wind and chop; you can imagine in that environment how important corrosion protection might be to receiver, battery and servo connections, and I became well familiar with Corrosion-X; it's awesome.

Thanks for the heads up. What about their oil? 5th wheel and slider lube maybe?I recommend Lucas Oil's marine Grease. Comes in a big 14 ounce tube View attachment 164328 at Lowes Home Improvement for like 7 bucks. I use it for any shiny metal rub areas on firearms and on the rails. I use those big Q-Tip like gun cleaning swabs as an applicator and break one in half and shove in the tube and put the cap back on. I can tell you i shoot quite a bit more than average and it makes a difference on the wear of the gun. I have a Legion P229, one of the early ones people whine about the finish wearing off, that looks used sure, but doesn't look like it has 15,000 rounds through it which it does. I have seen other legions that look much much worse with far fewer round counts. That tube will last you years and years. There some guy on the internet who looked at all the grease and found that this particular grease is the same Lucas grease you buy in a little tube for 12 bucks...

If mine starts to runs dry, I just spit on it.
I have used the dip stick from my car before.
Up and running.

Not a fan on Rem oil. Back in the early 90s I trusted it to an old double barrel 12... it let me down. I got chewed out for that one. Big time. My stepdad didn't like rust on his passed down boomstick.I use Rem oil for oil, it is available everywhere and i prefer a spray can for oil because it gets in the crevices. I spray the gun with oil then wipe it down, then grease the rails and shiny spots and reassemble. I like the idea of using synthetic motor oil except it isn't an aerosol. I don't spray the hell out of it with oil, so a big can lasts for many gun cleanings. I shoot mainly AR and semi auto pistols.
I was given some WeaponShield by the company owner way back on another forum. Was amazed at how much better it worked than anything else I had used. Been using it since.
I was given a bottle of green peppermint oil once too... It sucked... smelled nice though...
