Eezox as a lubricant?

PILMAN · February 12, 2007, 01:02 PM

Can Eezox be used as a lubricant? I've heard some mixed reviews on the forums, some are saying it's not a good lubricant at all. I used the stuff on the outside finish on my slide and it seems to be ok, it's also prevented moisture from appearing on my gun.

The only problem is being a dry lube, i'm curious if this could hurt my gun? Also can this be used to clean the bore? Thanks

Its probably OK, but I use it in conjunction with Break Free C-L-P. I know
for a fact that Break Free can be used as a cleaner, and lubricant; as I
use it all of the time, even on my Les Baer TRS 1911.

Yea, same here it's one of those all in 3 cleaners but I always hear mixed reviews if they can truely be used to be a protectant, a lubricant, and a cleaner. Some people are claiming the Eezox stuff is better to protect against rust rather than a lubricant. The sales guy told me I should take down my gun (USP) and clean off my gun using Eezox to get rid of the other solvents then use it as a lube. I was just a little concerned about it being a dry lube, makes me feel a bit uneasy but I was just curious if others had experience using it.

I have had mixed results with eezox as a lube. I like using it as a cleaner/lube/rust preventative for all of my rimfires, but use it as a cleaner/rust preventative only for blued centerfires. I found that it was not enough lube to keep my tightly-fitted 1911 running for more than 50 to 100 rounds at a time before I would have problems. That same 1911 has never bobbled with Break Free or any other lube, including Slide Glide, etc. Of course your results may vary.

Hmm, I wonder how it would affect an H&K USP then.. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try? It is a combat pistol after all.

I use it for my HKs and it is great. It dries yet still retains enough lube to be effective. The Hk pistols don't need to be dripping with lube anyway. Just my opinion and experience.

I read from their website last night asking the same thing. The directions (which must be followed! they said) was to strip the gun completely of oils and grease. Apply Eezox in a .050" layer inside and out (wood safe) and then wipe off excess. When shot and gets warm, it bonds to the metal "better". Too thick a pool, and it gets tacky when dried. Clean gun with product and each time cleaning will be easier. Sounds nice enough.

I bought a bottle on flea-bay this morning to try out. I do adore my Breakfree CLP though. I don't mind applying minute amounts of lube to be sure no damage to moving parts will occur.

I used it on my Glock and on my P3AT before I went to the range this past weekend, and used it on my Marlin 60 before the last time I took that to the range. 250 rounds through the Marlin, 250 thru the Glock, and 50 through the P3AT with no problems. They all seemed fine to me during shooting and afterwards. I cleaned the P3AT and Glock after shooting, but haven't cleaned the Marlin yet and probably won't until after a few more outings.

With that said, I still think it's too early to tell but will keep using it until a problem comes up. Seems no worse than CLP, which is what I used before. I like it so far.

No...they are used to make copies! Sometimes they run out of toner.

I use two dry lubes...Eezox and Mil Tec. The Eezox has great storage/ rust prevention qualities too. On my little carry guns I use Eezox as a dry lube and it works fine. I'm not going to shoot 500 rounds though. It works especially well for small pocket guns that you don't want dripping oil and ruining slacks. Works great on my Seecamp.

Mil tec goes on my range guns, but in all honesty I use a little wet lube too when I'm shooting the larger calibers and more than a handful of ammo.

Eezox is a truly outstanding anti-corrosion element (one of the few that will actually displace water).

Average lube at best. I prefer grease on the rails of a 1911 or Sig and Prolix Xtra-T pure lube on the contact points of a Glock.
