- Your SHTF gun may be at risk! We perform a true real world test of four gun oils, or at least some of the oils I have used. The results showed differentiation and serve as potentially useful data. Is your gun lubed still after sitting in a safe? Well lets see if that is case. As you prepare for SHTF, you need to know if your weapon will function properly.

For me, I think grease is best as a lubricant for sliding parts, like bolts, carriers, slides, rails, etc. I use oil mostly as a rust preventative and for lubricating tight or enclosed areas of the gun.
AR15 CAM bolt (name) is a hard working..moving part and MOST worn out is HERE....In VN...Used GREASE to lube HERE....and this place people in the world forget about it???!!! other place...just take magazine out and ..few table spoon of OIL...Done...lube the whole gun DONE.....repeat this step ...after few hours of combat with Viet cong!!!!
I hope you gain a large following. Very impressed with your videos. Welcome to the game. Well done.
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement!
2 parts motor oil, 1 part Lucas red n tacky grease, mix thoroughly into a sticky honey like consistency
Your welcome !
I only use Lucas red and tacky mixed with 0w40 European motor oil, always used synthetic oil but when I found the 0w40 it was way better in all temperatures. I make it to the consistency between honey and peanut butter. Thickens the oil so it stays and the oil makes it great in hot weather and cold weather. Been using it for 20 years plus.
I have played around with some mixes with “mixed” success. I just got a tube of the red Lucas and will certainly give your mix a go! Thanks for the suggestion!
Im using Red n Tacky with 10w30 Castol Edge mixed to a thick syrupy texture. Its been keeping everything buttery smooth. I love it so far!
I’ve had good luck with Lucas red and tacky #2.
They’ve came out with a gun specific grease now that’s a little softer. Has a flash point of 540 degrees and is excellent. Wipes off and doesn’t run off. Pretty sweet. But I still have the same tube of Lucas #2 that’s been dedicated to my BCG for close 10 years lol. Works like a champs. Cheap too. Appreciate the video!
I will have to grab some of that stuff. I have used some of the Mobil 1 red grease with success and the adhesion properties are of course much higher with grease. Lucas has impressed me with their automotive products for 20+ years. Thanks for the suggestion!
In Arizona I used Lucas and red tacky#2 in SUMMER and winter with Pennzoil 0w-16 ( NEW STUFFS) ..WORK FOR ME My Bushmaster seem to be happy with them.
@@ThepDenNgoaiBien I’ll have to look into that.
If it's a SHTF situation, and one is forced to move out, then one needs to find an alternate lube to keep things from literally rusting away.
Is good for the car engine is good for the gun 🎉😊
Borrow oil from the dipstick
I must say, I put a drop each of Weapon Shield and Hoppes oil on a porcelain tile. It sat for two months in the open air in my home, and those drops are still there and at the same size. Maybe we're seeing capillary action and not really drying.
Yes, I would agree it does not necessarily evaporate, but it does creep.
Most gun lubricants are penetrating oils, so that you can get effective coverage with even poor application technique. Some gun oils also leave a dry lubricant when they evaporate (particularly true for evaporating oils - their design is to flush contaminants out when in a liquid state and then leave behind a dry lubricant when they evaporate - so you don’t end up with a tacky residue that dirt can adhere to.
If you use a gun regularly you can safely use a non-drying oil - it will cook off from the hot parts, and the non-hot parts are generally either pretty well protected from grime (triggers) or are reciprocating and will clear themselves off through motion (the bolt). Where these (generally heavier) oils run into problems are things like the recoil spring.
Slip2000 ewl grease and AGL 0000 very thin grease are what I have been using for any parts that has metal on metal !
I use a hobby model paint brush and just apply a very thin layer over any wear parts and that is it, From +30c to -50c these gun greases do not freeze do not gunk up and do not migrate
I have firearms I don't shoot much because of their age and value but I inspect them every year and years later the grease is still exactly where I put it and they function perfectly
I use CLP oil for cleaning my firearms but for lubing a firearm for use or storage a very thin layer of slip 2000 grease or AGL very thin grease is what works I found the best
I've used motor oil for years. Even before they developed "synthetic". I mixed some Ed's Red, sans acetone and lanolin, and use for CLP. If I need to remove copper I just use ammonia based window cleaner.
I too have mixed up a few batches of Ed's red. Works very well for gun cleaner and if you are going out for a quick shoot, it works pretty well for a gun oil. Maybe with the lanolin it would work for long term storage. I have never mixed in with the lanolin
I use thicker engine oil, Royal purple 5w30, it runs slicker and almost never dry out
Just goes to show you that most "gun oils" aren't really any better than simple motor oil. When it comes to cost per ounce, motor oil is the clear winner.
Motor oil will give you cancer, gun oil will not. That's on top of Lead poisoning.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ
Used motor oil yes, new motor oil, no.
Stupid question but MUST ASK.....Don't people see on the bottle of oil say GUN OIL and another one say MOTOR OIL......Ask engineers the definitions of that 2 for me?? I must be stupid??!! and go crazy with theese ideas
Bushmaster, when Richard Dyke owned it, recommended and sold Fire Power 10 CLP. It was thicker viscosity than Break Free CLP and seem to cling better to metal. I never had a dry failure using it. Sometimes, my firearms sat in my safe for 6 months at a time and I never re-lubed them before going to the range.
I haven’t heard of that, but if I can track it down I will sure test it.
Your gun lie down or stand up??? If stand up then after 6 months.....nothing left!! ( Arizona)....But if your gun lie down.....then oil still there!
10w30 synthetic and Balistol for cleaning
ORIGINAL WeaponShield is not made anymore. The product using that name is not the original product .
I use FLUID FILM it doesn't dry out. And is good for corrosion control
On some occasions I prefer gun grease over any gun oil Also.
I store my firearms barrel down
Grease is for sure a good long term storage solution, but there is one slight downside. The actual oil in grease does creep and, or evaporate out over time. If you were to perform a maintenance lube every teary, you’ll be good to go. Obviously where I live I don’t have to really worry about freezing temps with grease except for a few days a year.
I would probably try mixing grease and motor oil to a honey like consistency and applying it. Weapon Shield offers grease as well and can be mixed with that weapons shield oil to a similar consistency but that would probably be cost prohibitive.
On large scale yes. I have been thoroughly impressed with weapon shield when it’s first applied. It is certainly great stuff if you are applying right before the range.
too many engineers! Gun oil Company will run out of business soon
I mix synthetic grease with 5w-20 or 30 synthetic oil until it's like a loose honey. I live in S Carolina. always warm here.
Yes adding grease will certainly make something more "Tacky"
gun oil Company will cry and going out of business...too many Grease Oil engineers here!!!
Funny tings happen below 18*F with oils. I start by freezing it. So that rules out most oils. It can be a simple as taking warm gun outside in the cold. And having it condense and freeze. I use 3 in 1 or hoppes. I have wondered about using lithium grease because it does stay where you put it. And passes freeze test.
I have some Hoppes and some 3in1 oil I can throw into the next test. I guess I should have said all guns were stored above 50F. Thanks for the comment!
Try straight mineral oil, the clear kind, you can get a bottle at the supermarket.
cold temps is not a worry i have in Texas. if we ever get that cold we'll have bigger problems. i love Hoppes too btw.
@@billstoudt2042 grease for automotive...work all year round and not worry about run DRY in the gun...Put a lot in your gun you can store your gun 30-40 years NO PROBLEM!! buy a SKS in the 90..I clean GREASE 2 days...and after clean..SKS look NEW...product in Russian 1945!!!! ( Vietnamese experience)
MPro7 has given me best results…..staying put, cleaning, and slickness
That’s great to know.. I am in the process of testing Mpro 7 right now! check back in 28 more days for the results!
You know about the arm brace issue? Decision time for you and others....
Yep now I need to remove it… and it remains a pistol. Yep it’s dumb.
Are you an expert in lubricity? George Fennell created Weapon Shield and also FP-10 which he sold Shooter's Choice FP-10 has changed over the years and not for the better. Been using Weapon Shield since 2015 on many different firearms and they continued to function without issues. Did you shoot them for a period of time, was there any malfunctions due to lack of visible lubrication? Frog Lube will sometimes look dry but when you start shooting it tends to creep out of no where and seep in to areas where you didn't want it to be and why I don't use it. Some lubricants leave just a small film (barrier) and perform just fine, have you used a lubricant called Strike Hold? Leaves a dry film after you wipe off the excess and believe was develop for dry dust criminates which causes issues for most lubricants and greases.
As I stated before. When you apply weapon shield, it is the slickest lube I have ever felt. However. for storage it does not stay in place. I have noticed this with my hand guns as well. I will apply Weapon Shield right before I go shoot and it is amazing. I just don;t think its a good long term storage solution .
I put grease in the motor oil per SOTAR Gun Sriracha and it stays oiled up.
Used salad oil too???
Vietnamese PHO???
Transmission fluid is all you need
I have used ATF in a pinch. We had a new build that wouldn't cycle with motor oil, so we wiped it all off and replaced with ATF. It then ran and broke in. After a 200 round session, it worked fine with motor oil. I don;t know how much it would stick if stored however.
Try gun fighter oil. It claims it will never dry up or run.
I will pick some up for the next test! I am running the second test now
@@1stNPrep I'm looking forward to it. Thanks
Good info, you have another sub, good luck w/ your channel.
Why thank you we appreciate it! We will certainly do our best!
I'd be curious about Wilsons gun oil and G96 (in the can, not the synthetic).
I use the Wilson's (both the "oil" and slightly thicker "universal") on my metal frame guns and seems to last when stored. The G96 I use mostly as a cleaner, but as a lube for the polymer ones that seem to like to run almost dry anyway. I have noticed that after a couple weeks it has dried a bit.
I will certainly look into it. I am going to start another test here this week.I will order some up.
Could you try Gun butter
Yes, I will add that to the list
Ballistol for the win
I have some Ballistol, heck I’ll do a new video next month!
@@1stNPrep yes please
This was a great test. The CLP spec does not even have a standard for evaporation if you can believe it. Both the prior lubes the Army used LSA and PL Special actually had one back in the 60s and 50s even. I referenced your test on my channel for my own lubricant test where I pitted 11 different lubes against each other on a suppressed rifle.

Hey thanks man! I am finishing the up the 2nd test video with Mpro 7, Hoppes and Safariland “LP”.
Transmission fluid
Tranny fluid (the kind that goes in a car) will certainly work in a pinch. A buddy of mines brand new AR wouldn’t run and we only had some ATF fluid so I dunked the bolt and it ran fine. I don’t know if it’s a long term solution though, but O would be more than willing to test it out in the next test.
@@1stNPrep Transmission Fluid has no lubrication properties, it is used as a coolant and hydraulic pressure, most auto trans consist of clutches and belts.
@@saralou7084 Uh, no. I rebuild automatics. All those bearings need to be lubed by something.
@@saralou7084LMAO transmission fluid has no lubrication properties??
Balistol
What about corrosion resistance from the motor oil.i use lucas extreme on internals and frog lube on the barrel and front of slide
Motor oil does have some anti corrosion properties. It is by no means like the level of a grease. It is a “coating” that will prevent oxidation to a degree. I doubt it would prevent rust on something stored for years in a high moisture and environment
@@1stNPrep thanks for the info I was Leary about the motor oil bit
