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.

 

[John Henry]

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!!

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.

My good friend and a Master gunsmith(Which he didn't tell people) Bill Mains the Master Engraver, I had asked what he preferred to wipe down guns, told me he highly recommended Rem-Oil. I have used it for years and have found nothing better.

 

[Quick 1]

After Bill Mains engraved my trap gun, he told me the same thing. I have used Rem-Oil ever since, no problems.

 

[se2884]

I like Rusteprufe, can't say I ever had a problem with Rem oil either.

 

[rosko512]

I've used Rem Oil for 25 years and have never had an issue. A light coat and a wipe down. Good to go.

 

[h-n-d]

I was told by a gunsmith that Rem Oil was nothing more than mineral oil with teflon added, dont know if thats a bad thing, seems to be a decent light lubricant, I dont use it for rust protection so cant comment on how it works for that.

 

[Song Dog]

I wiped on Rem Oil and lasts on all my guns for months and never had any issues and also Remington Brite Bore works equally as good cleaning all my actions, stuff hard to find had to mail order new cans last month

 

[sdive2]

I have been using Rem Oil faithfully since the 1970's no problems here

 

[dnfly1]

I'm 72 been using it for years no problems.

 

[kehrby]

From what I see, Ed's red is probably the best cleaner and good old Hoppes gun oil is the best rust preventer. Now I personally use Breakfree CLP and Remoil but I think I am wasting money.

 

[hounddog 41]

Ive been told by a gunsmith friend that WD40 is hard on the blueing. I never used it much. alex

To wipe a gun down anything that leaves a life coat of oil is going to protect the surface.

To take any liquid oil and squirt it into an assembly and just leave it there is asking for trouble!

Most of the gummy beyond belief assemblies that I have seen have come from products like 3in1 oil, the little plastic bottle of Rem-oil, and products like these. Someone puts the little spout at a small opening and fills it then when it is barely working does it again and again and again until nothing will keep it working. That is where the Teflon in rem oil is liability, in lite use wipe on wipe off you will never know it is there but coat it on leave it coat it on and leave it........... The same can be said of any lubricant!

It will gum up as fast as any, probably faster then most!

The first time I ever saw Rem-oil the user was using the green plastic bottle to slather up a 700 trigger and bolt never doing anything to remove the excess, then one mild summer day here, it was kinda of cold that day, only 101 or 102 in the shade, the first sign of trouble was there was no click when the trigger was pulled, then the sear was not resetting so the striker would start forward as the bolt closed. After all the over applications that stuff made cosmolean look liquid like and was harder to remove. This where Rem-oil justly takes a beating!

It is easy to forget that Rem-oil comes in a spray when you first see the plastic bottle.

But anything used in a bubba fashion will get a bad name! Justly or un-justly!

Most can hear of what bubba did or does and claim [true or false] not me! But most whacky law suits or on an action that bubba would be proud of!
