I'm with SMS here. I (and I'd guess most people here) don't go long enough between a quick wipe down and lube on my firearms to require the benefits of some of the high end lubricants. I use Rem-oil, sae30 motor oil, and a moly grease.
That damned GC ... He GOT me again!! He told me "we" had to lube his "gun" damned near every night ...
oh jeez TMI
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
if you don't pull it out and lube it
it's going to rust.
I agree that regular use is more important than type, but some kinds may be better than others. Slide Glide, Royal Purple, and 1010 oil are all good.
Now a question: I used MIL-L-7808 (turbine oil) for a time, until I noted some deterioration of the oil while in the container. For you who are using synthetics specific for use in recips, has the oil 'deteriorated' at some point (gumming, discolored, etc.)?

You just made two statements that conflict.
You say you know nothing about oil, but know that some additives can harm guns.
Could you explain how this is possible?
How could an oil that protects my engine, harm
My gun?
hoppes #9.is that ok?
Is that not a solvent?
its all i have.
