Me too--- no problems I'm aware of, Sure hope they are incorrect. Ross Puls

 

What they are referring to is the TEFLON additive. If you slather RemOil and leave it to dry the teflon will become tacky. But in the simple wipedown process not enough is left to create the problem. Adn too, each new wipedown after shooting will clean and begin anew. So, forget thte naysayers. Wipe your guns down as you have been after shooting. RemOil is good stuff.

 

I've used Remoil for years on my Citori, and never had a problem.

 

Rem-Oil works fine. Always has.

 

It's the Rim Oil you have to stay away from.

 

I have used Rem oil for years also. I use it to blow out and clean my trigger assemblies. I use a small burst of canned air to blow out the excess. You might also consider Hornady's dry lube.

 

I have used Remoil without incident as well.

 

Rem oil is my go-to for all my gun needs. I also use it around the house. No issues in the last ten years that I have used it. Good shooting Dave kr

 

I keep Rem-oil on my bed stand

 

Never had a problem with the Rem oil other than knocking the can off the shelf and breaking the spray nozzle off.
Seems to only happen with the large size can.

 

And the full cans!!

My consensus of all the posts is, Rem oil is no good for your firearm after sitting around for a 1,000 years. Other than that it is one of the best ways to care for your firearms.

 

Ask him why it's a bad idea.

WD 40 is cheaper and is a good rust preventative.

 

 

I carry the wipes in my bag and use it at the end of the day, especially if it has been raining. I will also wrap one around a bore snake and pull it through to hold things until I can get around to a more serious cleaning. I do not use it as a cleaner per say but as a rust inhibitor. I like to use it when I put a gun away in an air tight case and usually leave the wipe in there

 

I carry the wipes in my bag ...........

I use the wipes almost exclusively for wiping down . The ones in the canister are perfect. I also carry the individually wrapped ones in my shooting bag for when I travel. I prefer to have some buddies around when I use one of the wrapped ones, because there is so much oil in them, you can do about 5 guns with each cloth! Way too wet!!

 

Super, What the hell is rim oil? Sounds dangerous.
Aloha

 

Aloha, I don't think you really want to know. lol

Hauxfan!

 

Good stuff for wipe down but don't use on triggers for protection -will not long term protect from rust .

 

I stopped using Rem oil about 8 years ago. It is not very good at protecting a firearm and preventing rust and corrosion. Look at this evaluation of various gun oils. rem oil ranks very low. evaluation covers all variable that are important in protecting a gun. Water displacement, lubrication, corrosion protection. I now use Eezox and it really is a vast imprudent over Rem oil. There really is no comparison.

Mr. mhearts, thank you for posting this link. After reading this article, it is very clear that most of the lubricants that we've all become accustomed to using work very well in an indoor environment i.e. our gun safe or closet. I for one have used Rem oil for years. However, for those that subject there guns to days or weeks of outdoor abuse may be wise to choose another product. Thanks again for providing this link. IMHO If anybody hasn't read it, they probably should before passing anymore judgment. JT

 

My gunsmith , ( which is old school , 78 ) swears by a light coat of transmission fluid.

 

ATF Tranny fluid is covered in the evaluation link I posted above. It does seem to perform pretty good.

 

There are two enemies to our guns. Neglect and liberal Democrats who dislike the 2nd amendment. Do everything in your power to make sure neither are allowed to make any advances on your weapons.

Trust me there are products that are far superior to Rem oil.

 

I've never heard of Rem oil causing such an issue and I know guys that wipe their guns with it. Personally I wipe mine down with a silicone impregnated rag.

 

wd 40 can mess up wood over time..

 

WD 40 is one of the worst things to use on a firearm. It was not made for that purpose. It is used to displace water.
You will end up with a gummy dirty mess . It holds dust and dirt not to mention what it will do to wood finishes.

 

I used Rem Oil for years on my micrometers and it has never gummed up like other lubes have done. WD 40 on the other hand smells great is a good solvient but a terrible gummy lube.
Rem Oil is all use!

 

Ed's Red, cheap and effective throw in some acetone and it's a pretty good cleaner too.

A guy showed me his Perazzi This weekend and it smelled like a Urinal hockey puck... Qmaxx. Yuck. I talked to a CG dealer a few days earlier and he was having a gun demo and as part of that he was selling that "Urinal cake" stuff. I know that stuff is popular in ohio, but it has finally tainted Wisconsin. You can pretty much clean that stuff off metal, but once it is in the wood, It is forever impregnated... And avoid me please.

And any petroleum based oil will mess up wood over time.
