Lubrication requirements in firearms are so minimal versus the requirements in machinery, bearings, transmissions, etc, than almost anything you can buy will exceed what you can benefit from in a firearm.
Came here to say this. So benign you could practically drink the stuff. Motor oils are not Non-toxic.

FrogLube also ranked highest in anti rust testing, plus it wasn't toxic.
Yep. Just use something, and keep them clean.People way overthink this.
That's with babbit bearings which work good even with no lube.There was the guy who filled the oil pan of his Model T with water and it ran. Didn't say how long.

Looks like the company already mixed it for you. View attachment 1006204
Their video didnt include Break Free CLP. I wonder why.
I would not use ATF as lube, not because it isn't wonderful lube, but because in this application it's no better than dozens of others that don't stink or stain.

LubriPlate was hi tech in 1940; you can't buy grease that poor on the shelf today.
Remember FrogLube? It was perfectly functional firearms lube, and worked fine everywhere except the extreme cold. . . it was fractionated (low molecular weight) coconut oil.
Pick a lube that's inexpensive, and doesn't drain, stink, or stain.
Not for long they won’t.That's with babbit bearings which work good even with no lube.
