    I prefer ALG go juice right now. I use both the grease and the lube.

    Those of you that feel expensive automotive oil is the way, the truth, and the light, and everything else is a waste of money: did you know that Lubriplate is essentially the same price per gallon?

    Disclosure: I am affiliated PRN with a tactical training center, but I speak only for myself. I have no idea what we sell, other than CLP and training. I receive no income from sale of hard goods.

    That is what I have been doing wrong.

    I was using the tears from all the people I banned in GD threads. It was cheap and plentiful, but I guess I'll have to switch now.

    My experience dedicated gun lubes don’t stay on as long as regular motor oil. Not saying it’s the end all be all. But my and others experience has been positive so far, don’t see a need to go back. Certainly haven’t seen anything negative about it.

    Any worries of over lubrication?

    Salt scrape off easily enough, or just keep reapplying?

    Not really. It arrives in such copious quantities, so I just dip the entire firearm in the bucket when it starts to get a little dry. Keeps the scale from forming.

    Hey, maybe I could get a federal grant to do a study!

    Finally, I will be able to afford ammo - woot!

    My only worry about over lubing is if it gets on one’s defensive ammo in a HD/Duty gun.

    That is actually an excellent point, and why we beg people to stay the hell away from WD-40.
