What gun oil is everyone using?

[Bill Murphy]

Like Chuck, I use Vaseline and 5-W-30. Oh, sorry, I haven't finished the can of 10-W-30 I started using in 1970. I have used some techy oils and greases over the years, but only if they are on the bench when I'm cleaning guns. I'm just finishing up some oil in squeeze bottles that I used in the Army and filling them with my old reliable 10-W-30. Oil is oil and steel will not rust if it is rubbed on a gun.

FYI, some guy on ShotgunWorld did an extensive study on lubricants/protectants for firearms. Draw your own conclusions.

That's really good info. I'll be ordering some Hornady 1 shot, Frog Lube and WD 40 Specialty today. I was a little surprised I didn't see any Lubriplate products in the test. It's a local company and my cousin used to run the warehouse so I've used their grease for a long time.
