Do you use that much lube?
Do you use that much
There is a snake joke in there, but I am going to pass.
For years, our PD range staff has used a mixture of motor oil and trans fluid as gun lube. It works REALLY well in cold and heat without too much migration. I've switched from SLIP2000 to our homemade brew. I really like it after I tried it. I blew it off for years as the department being cheap. However, once I really looked close I think it's a better oil than the expensive stuff.

What is the oil and transmission fluid you all use and what is the mixture? 50/50?For years, our PD range staff has used a mixture of motor oil and trans fluid as gun lube.

Beware that unless they changed the formula 3 in 1 has varnish in it and WILL build up on surfaces.I found that for my uses, Hoppes to clean and then to lube I use 3-in-1 light machine oil. works well.
May not work for all, but seems to work fine for everything I need.
It'll take me a while. My Glocks only get cleaned once a year at most.Beware that unless they changed the formula 3 in 1 has varnish in it and WILL build up on surfaces.
