Best Gun Lubricant?

[gotboostvr]

I use molybdenum grease in all my rifles and shotguns (AR included) and they kept chugging along even when it got around the 0 degree mark this past winter on a excursion me and some buddies went on. My AR had been in sitting in the cold to acclimate it because I wanted to test to see if it worked in cold weather, no issues to report.

Pistols get Hoppe's lube, just because that's what I have on hand.

I still use the Break Free CLP- cleaner lubricant penetrant- why mess with the best ?

As others have said there is no "best", but I like the M-Pro 7 line of gun cleaners and lubricants.

I like this stuff better than Breakfree.

I used to clean with brake cleaner and used an aluminum based grease(Moly Kote?) and ATF. It worked well. A month ago I switched over to Froglube. It seems to work well. However, what I like the most is that my wife lets me clean my guns at the kitchen table. It smells good and is a vegtable product.

Another vote for M-Pro 7. Works just fine with the added bonus of not smelling up the house and annoying the wife.

We could debate the properties of each and go round and round, the best lubricant is the one that you find works the best for your individual need.

Um, good old cheap synthetic wheel bearing grease. Apply liberally. The best stuff ever. You can shoot upwards of 3000+ rounds at a time with that stuff without a hitch...

I would NOT use Kroil for lube. Apart from the hazard of loosening your screws, it can easily cause contact dermatitis, eye pain, and if you get a good wiff of it more serious problems. Use gloves when you use it. Kroil is for loosening old rusty bolts, it is not for lubing firearms. No idea where people got the idea it was.

CLP works great and is a lot easier on skin.

I thought Kroil was a brand, not a specific product? I've seen their brochures and they market a ton of different solvents, lubricants and other products.

I have been using Lucas since it cqme out. It works in all my AR's. I carry a portted SA 45. I use a mixture of the lucas and tractor grease on slides and ware points. This mixture does not run in Texas heat or get stiff in the cold. All my friends use it and sware by it. The lucas is something i have been useing in trucks and tractor as long as i can remember. I am 67 years young and am not changes. I shoot every day have my own range here at ranch with targets to 550 yards. It works. Thanks and have a good evening.
