I try to be smart about the small money things as well as the big money things. It seems to me if anything is specifically sold for gun maintenance it seems to be pricey. So, I needed some gun oil and was in Lowes and bought some old-fashioned THREE IN ONE oil only now it is in plastic instead of metal. Knowing it may or may not be the quality of name-brand gun oils I bought it mainly for when I put a few drops on a rag to wipe down my a gun surfaces before it goes back in the locker. However, I was wondering what all of you think about using it internally when you put a drop or two on the star of your SW revolver or in the guts of your Marlin 60 or such? I appreciate your reply. (Yes, I have RemOil and RemOil dry lube, etc.) You know, just to gab, I have a nephew whom I love to shoot with and he had this little container of cheese cloth like rags that were wet with oil for convenient wiping down of guns. It had a price sticker that said over $8. I use little pieces of old cotton t-shirt and a few drops of oil and has always worked fine for me. BTW....I got 8 oz of the Three in One for about $4 at Lowes and I see 2-4 oz bottles of like Outers or Hoppes for around $4 at the outfitters stores. I have rambled enough.
