Lubricant Comparison...
 
I see we lost a connection to one product comparison, so here is another...

This compares lubrication more that protection. Might help make a choice easier...

Johnny,
The only problem I see with this is that it is the one lubricant companies comparison and from what I see thier product is superior. I personally wouldn't hold much truth to any company comparing thier product with others because they are just trying to sell product. I would rather see an independent study. Then again I only use CLP Breakfree and Miltech gun lubes. I can only say use what you like unless it is WD-40. Thanks Arvin

I'm willing to bite on the posted data, and I am happy to see the friction comparision. The only problem I see is that there is more to a gun lubricant than just reduced friction.

For example, Does it gum up easy? Preservative?
Will it eat at the grips/stock wood?

I use Breakfree, but I think it gums up pretty easy.

This comparison when combined with the info from the previous comparison, made me feel I had made a good choice. I was really happy to see Eezox place so well in both comparisons. I have informally tested several lubricants on a non-gun sort of way. My wife has a car which the back doors virtually refused to stop making the most awful noise you can imagine coming from car doors. The doors have a small stamped piece of metal that attaches to the body runs through a slot in the door and I'm not sure of its purpose, but it sure was noisey!!! I put some lube on them when it was new to get it to stop from day one!!! These plates will rust then the noise starts and the doors would be hard to open and close. It would be a few weeks to maybe a month before they would start again. I tried Break Free CLP, Tetra, WD-40, Remington Teflon, and few others. It really worried me to see the rust on the part. I know that my guns would never see the same conditions that, that part is going through, but still it worried me. Then I got a sample of Eezox. I knew to try it on the doors. That was in early October, and still no noise, and no rust. I bought more!!! I tried it on the trunk of the car, which required both hands with a firm grip to close, now I can close it with a finger. I began cleaning my guns with it, and lubricating them. I've recommended it to my friends, and I can recommend you give it try, and no I don't sell it...

I have had good luck with Remlube. For rust prevention is hard to beat RIG. RIG is a heavy grease but it will prevent rust. It's best if you are going to store the gun for a while.

Lock and Load! :D

I have used REM-OIL with good results as both a firearm lubricant and rust preventative. The teflon in the REM-OIL does not gum up much when I do cold weather shooting but as I have yet to own a Luger I can't say how well it will work on that type of pistol. As a rust inhibitor it has done a fine job of preserving the finish on my blued 9x18 Baikal Makarov, my Winchester Model 12 16ga, S&W 586 .357 Magnum and my Winchester Model 94 .32SPL. The only drawback of using REM-OIL in this fashion that I have noticed is that if you are planning to store you firearms for a long period of inactivity then the REM-OIL is a bit thin for the job unless you can live with the idea of recoating the firearms every other month (which I do). Being inexpensive and readily avaliable at Dick's, Wal-Mart and any Sporting goods store makes this especially attractive in my opinion.

I recently tried my P.08 at -20�ºF. I lubricated with Break Free CLP and wondered how liquid lubricant would perform. The pistol cycled properly. The toggle mechanism appeared to move at its normal speed. This surprised me because both the P.38 and C96 produced noticeably slower slide or bolt movement when used in -20�ºF to -40�ºF conditions. However those pistols used dry lubricant

I only use Milltech....very impressive but expensive.

Jesse Burke, hey buddy, where in the heck have you been dude?

I have an old bottle of Tetra gun oil, my family gripes so much about the smell( worse than really bad feet, or rancid whale oil) that I had to quit using it. I use several products, hoppes gun solvent and oil, for long term protection I use Castle Products "Thrust" spray penetrating oil. Thrust is the best rust preventer I've found. I normaly clean and dry wintertime hunting guns and lube with powdered graphite, Kind of messy but my pheasant gun won't go in slow motion when it's really cold.
