Anything wrong with using this stuff to lube your shotgun?

I use "Red and tacky #2" and like it a lot

 

[cbxchris]

Best lube I have ever found. None better in my book.

Lucas red and tacky is real good stuff.

You can really get carried away experimenting with different lubes, oils, etc. There seems to be an endless supply available, sometimes at crazy prices. I have tried then all and found standard 30 weight motor oil to be as good, or better, in most cases, than any of the other I've used. Shotguns are not high speed, high friction machines that require some exotic liquid miracle to keep them in first class working condition. It's just a hunk of steel that requires a good oiling now and then to keep the rust at bay and keep moving parts functioning.... Just my opinion... Dan Thome (Trap2)

Thanks for the input. Do you guys somehow put it into a large syringe and apply it that way? Kind of like the lube in a tube thing.

Red and Tacky...... Kind of reminds me of an old girl frend. Lester

I just pop the hood, pull the oilstick, and dab a little.

if I have the old ford or murc, I just reach under and catch a drip or two..

 

[cbxchris]

Yeap I have several syringes loaded up. A tube will last a lifetime.

If you go to an automotive supply store, you can buy engine assembly lube in a tube, red and sticky-stringy.

I was using it boy it does make a mess I get it everywhere. I have switched to Husky bar oil just a drop here and there the stuff really sticks.....John

I would not use anything that migrates like motor oil. Once it reaches the wood it is a bad thing.

 

[DIXIE SPECIAL 25]

I use Krieghoff grease...I also have used STOS. Kolar gives you CMD grease..thats a good one as well.

 

[Trap2]

goose2... We're not bathing the gun in it, simply one drop here and there as required. For years, Perazzi recommended only using motor oil, but, hey, what do they know anyway?... Dan Thome (Trap2)

Bacon grease works great

Hi Joe, I use the Lucas Red and Tacky from Home Depot stores or automotive stores. It only about five bucks for a grease cartridge of it. I put it in plastic syringes and put a small wire nut on them. I use this on all my hi end trap guns. A tube will last you two lifetimes. It's a medium red color and when it starts to turn a little darker- I clean it off and apply new. Lee
