Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Best oils and lubes for guns

What are the best lubricants you have used for your pistols and rifles including ARs?

My gun smith got me using Slick 50 One lube years ago and I have never had a problem with it. However I have read that teflon lubes are a problem. Can't seem to find out why though.

Another seasoned trap, skeet and rifle shooter I know uses only Dextron II ATF for everything.

Kroils also seems to be a big favorite

I have had repeated bad experiences with Breakclean CLP drying like varnish when the guns were stored for over a year. I have never had that problem with Slick 50, ATF or Rem oil.
Looking forward to learning from all of you.

I like Tetra gun and Eez Ox

Each specific application requires cinsideration as to what lube is appropriate; triggers, bores of barrels, rifle bolts (internals, and exterior), scope mount screws, Action screws, locking lugs, floor plate hinges, and corrosion protection, dry vs wet lube.
