Anyone else you GTX as gun lube?
I've used just about everything slippery as lube in an M16 and M60. Lots of auto lubricants work well, and sometimes they're handy when other things aren't. Anything that can lubricate my engine for (coughcough) 3k miles or keep my wheel bearing turning can probably do a workable job in a gun.
Interesting, I guess I had just never thought about it. Will be trying this out
I should probably point out that while [nearly?] any decent auto/industrial lubricant will work as lubrication (watch out for those that are really solvents that are SOLD as lubricants...), not all of them are equally fun to clean up.
Am I the only one who gets a little nauseated when its you talking about lube?
If the bolt carrier on my AR isn't visibly "wet" with lube, I will add more at the first opportunity.
lucas makes some good products. there oils can take a beating.Not all lubes are created equal either. I know a lot of people like Rem-oil, I used to use it to lube my AR. It did not take long to move onto something else. It burnt off for one, and yes, I noticed it had more carbon build up after firing. Now I use lubes that actually seep into the steel. A couple of months ago, we shot in the rain and my rifle sat in the open, barrel facing up. I never had a single issue with it functioning. That was with a light coat of Lucas Gun Oil on all the wear points.
