Lubricant Comparison...

DIVIL · 01-21-2004, 09:53 PM

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.
