I have seen Mobile One used more on Ak's but suspect it is better than nothing.
I also thought Vagisil was a good suggestion. Sort of a double meaning and then, if you happened to touch your face before washing your hands, your more familiar with the taste.

Thanks for the link. I didn't bother using the search function, since I figured nobody would do this...
So much for an original thought.
:rolleyes:

I've used 15w-50 Mobil 1 synthetic and the Mobil 1 gear oil 75w-90. I'd suggest the 15w-50 over the gear oil which has a pretty strong odor. Both should work well and keep the bolt wet.
-
We use to run Mobile 1 10w 30 in our MP5s. It we found it worked the best for that weapon system.
-
with that being said, do you guys just apply this normally as any other lube?
-
Yes apply it normally like other lubes. Keep in mind ARs work better wet than dry.
-
Yes. 20w50 Mobile 1. Ounce per ounce very cheap too. 1 Quart should last several years.

We used used Hummer oil on all of our crew served weapons in Afghanistan and it worked great. I am sure some of the Teams used it on their M4's as well, but dust stopped being an issue on the crew served when they switched over.

I really didn't think I'd find favourable feedback on this one.
The idea, for me, popped up when I realised I was fresh out of lube, and thought I could substitute motor oil. Then I thought motor oil wouldn't burn off as quick as regular gun butters.
Glad to know it wasn't as crazy as I first thought. With motor oil being cheaper than gun lube, Ole Betsy can stay greasier than possum dumplings.

whats up with mobil 1? how's that a better gun lube than store-brand 10w30?
