I was just wondering what everyone's favorite general purpose gun oil was? I have mainly used Break Free but read somewhere that it is not the same formula now. Any other favorites?
Thanks,
Jed

For what it's worth, I use Rem oil spray. But keep in mind, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Corrosion X or Eezox. Not "oils" but one-step, cleaning/preservation/lubrication products. All one ever needs.
Both dry to the touch if properly used, which eliminates gumming, help prevent dirt attraction/holding, don't thicken or freeze in cold weather, or easily rub off once dry.

Hail, you got to be more specific. Type A, type F, Dextron? miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I roll atf or hyd oil myself.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Both ATF and Birchwood-Casey, the latter for that thin coat on everything and for wiping the outside for rust prevention. The ATF for the working parts to eliminate freezing in subzero temps.

I don't use much oil on my guns-mostly use Hornady's One-Shot dry lube. However, if I do need gun oil, there is always a spray can of Rem-Oil on the gun bench next to it.

I use and have used Hoppe's or Outers gun oil on my bolt guns for 50 years; I also use Hoppe's #9 for cleaning them.
In the AR's I used Breakfree, except never in the bore; it takes too many rounds to shoot it out of the bore. It is too slippery and acts like moly/Teflon coat. I use Hoppe's #9 in my AR bores as well.

LSA for internal lube, a short spritz of wd 40 on a old shaving brush for the outside metal surfaces only. The carrier on the wd evaporates off leaving a thin film of fish oil to prevent rusting. I am in a humid area and have not had rust - usually. Do Not, repeat - do not spray wd40 into the gun or it will clog up big time! Just a short spritz on to an old shaving brush for the outside of the gun's metal parts!
Happy Holidays! Mel

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
