Hi all, so...what do all recommend as a gun oil for your fine doubles? Not talking lube or solvents.

I've been using Ezzox, but the cost to buy and ship is getting expensive.

I do have access to Ballistol, Clezoil, G96 and some others.

Thanks so much!!!

I just use Rem-Oil. Seems to lubricate just fine down here in the heat...Geo

I use Eezox. When it comes to my guns I really don't care what it costs.

Rem-oil gets it done for me.

Greg:

You buy "expensive guns", you already use the best, which is EEZOX and now you want to go on the CHEAP..?.. Does not make any sense.

It would be like putting re-cycled oil in your new Mercedes Greg.

Hi all, what I'm trying to do is find a product similar in performance and one that does the job that I can buy local. I'm looking for recommendations from folks who have used some of the other products that work just as well as Eezox.

I can't see were buying local for a just as good product is going on the cheap.

Best,

Greg

I'm sure ezzox is real good but more importantly along with a good oil is keeping it clean..I notice the dirt after shooting a lot on a target field. I don't understand where it comes from but Ii know it will cause scaring no mater what kind of oil.

I use Rem oil also and have been doing so for over 40 years. I am lucky in that my hands do not form rust which is caused by the salt in your system.

I do a lot of wood working and just recently there was an article about rust forming on metal surfaces. They cut pieces 2"x2" of both cast iron and A2 steel (air hardening tool steel) and covered the pieces with 19 different types of rust preventers, including paste wax and different fancy named oils. One set didn't have anything on them and the test was for 10 days. The put them in a freezer overnight. The untreated samples rusted immediately.
The best rust preventers were CRC Industrial 3-36, LPS 3, Moovit and WD-40.
They also did further testing to see if the top 6 rust preventers interfered with the finish on wood. None of the top 6 did as they were rubbed across wood and then applied oil and water based finishes over them without getting any discoloration.

The waxes, Johnson's Paste Wax, Renaisaance Wax, Camellia oil, Jojoba Oil were down near the bottom.
Same your money on Boeshield T9.

The CRC 336 sells for $6 for 11 ozs.

I forgot to add that after the 10 days the best rust preventers didn't have a trace of rust on either surfaces.

old ed swears by nyoil.

I use Rem oil for internal lubrication and Ren wax on the surface. Here in Arizona rust isn't a major problem.
