Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Rem Oil!😠

Chit that's a bunch of information! Thanks for posting it.

I have hardly used a gun “oil” in maybe 20 years. CorrosionX or Eezox for me. I have found that I like X better, since Phil clued it in on a past thread years ago.

I have a 10 year old bottle of Rem oil , used maybe twice, if that helps.... . It was given to me .....works well on fishing reels, tho

I don’t shoot a lot and clean less, but I do hunt in wet and below freezing conditions. Both dry to touch products clean, lube, and are very good rust preventatives- one product use. KISS

I read somewhere that the big time dove outfitters in South America lube their Benellis and Berettas with diesel fuel. I have no direct knowledge of it's suitability. Vaseline is good for the bearing surfaces of double guns as well as for wiping down barrels. Not sure it would do well internally.

That's the stuff I now use. I used to use Eezox all the time, and then I saw some tests that showed Hornady HD doing the best of the many that were tested. Plus, it doesn't have nearly the pungent odor of Eezox.

Check out Fluid Film.

Never used it much on my guns, but when my kids were kids, I used it on their Pine Block racers and kicked all kinds of Baptist azz at the AWANA racing event. My kids each took Firsts in their classes, and my wife and I took First and Third respectively in the Worker class. Everybody was pissed off, even the pastor, who had been a machinist in his previous career and thought he was a shoe-in. Definitely a "Dad Highlight". The boys still talk about it.

Years later, I passed on my ideas to a friend involved in the same event at another church, and they swept that event as well. Rem Oil was just part of why we won. I worked in the "pits" and used it on other kids's cars too, but the disgruntled competition was calling it "that illegal oil". So much for Christian amity.

Now that's an application I never heard of. Whoda thunk it?

Dyna-Tek Gun Shield kept my stainless M70 375 H&H fine after spending two weeks in the rains of SE Alaska and two dunks in the sea. The areas I missed when applying it rusted. Amazing stuff.

Interesting.

Fluid Film is used in the drilling industry to prevent rust. You can even buy it in 50 gal drums. It is lanolin based.

I agree, plus it really stinks.

Whatever I have needed RemOil to do, it has worked just fine...I don’t expect it to be grease but for thin coating it’s good by me.

Duck thanks for these. I had seen some of the tests before but not altogether like this. It even shows which go best with Hot Dogs, pretty comprehensive.

It's also very good for lubing the rails of a 1911.

my local wmt has rem oil but i haven't bought any gun oil for over 20 years. when i need gun oil i just grab a cup full of 10wt. drip oil we use here on the farm. i buy it in 55gal barrels.

Wouldn't effect me. If it's -10 degrees (or minus anything) I won't be out hunting or shooting.

I guess you can get away with that if you don't live on the humid east coast.

Yep.

Well,I have some corrosion X and frog lube headed this way. We'll give those a look see.

A reviewer said it’s not stick/gummy...I just ordered a bottle to try. I use Rem oil, works fine. I use CLP, works fine. Living is the land of saltwater and rust for 40 years, I know about rust protection. Keep firearms clean, dry, very lightly oiled and in a moisture free as possible environment.
