Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 5W30 Synthetic Engine Oil on Guns

This is year number 10 for me using Mobil 1 synthetic and regular wheel bearing grease on my guns. The wheel bearing grease works awesome very lightly coated on AR15 bolts and BCG rails with just a few drops of oil on the gas rings. I cut the Mobil1 with a little bit of ATF, I see no reason to go back to "gun" lubes (for my needs anyway). I do still spray the exterior of my guns with aerosolized Remoil or Ballistol though. This is also the tenth year that I have been using Eds red, although I leave out the acetone. ATF, Mineral spirits and Kerosene.....works great.
