jwhittin Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Wow! Great thread! I had no idea people made such complicated brews. Very Interesting. Been using motor oil and a few dabs of MIL-COMM TW25B which is working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
314shane Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Grease from the pump at the shop and what ever motor oil I got in the garage. It seems to work for me but I clean pretty frequently( 250-500rnds). Hope this helps someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wondered if anyone else used engine assembly lube. Yes! Redline. Read about it on m4c.net and gave it a try. Thicker than oil, very slippery. Sticks to parts very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingmedicine Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I've heard that the royal purple mix is the stuff to live on. Personally, I'm fine with gunzilla and moble one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I've been a big proponent of the Royal Purple Mix having used it for about 10 years. I actually give away most of the gun oil I get off prize tables after a few tests prove it does not pass muster and go back to the RP mix. Last year, I got a bottle of Lucas Extreme duty and, though I tried, I could not find any test in which it did not meet or exceed my home brew mix. I spent time in the lab at Colorado School of Mines comparing wear surfaces and running some common Tribology tests on several BCGs. Suffice it to say, every gun I have shot in 2015 has been lubed with Lucas Extreme Duty or Lucas Gun Oil. I don't believe in marketing hype, especially when in comes to gun oils. We pursued a relationship with Lucas Oil because we believe it is the best product. Yes, we carry it, sell it and provide it with our uppers, the only lube Carbon Arms has EVER endorsed. If you know me at all, that should be a good enough reason to try it yourself. If you see James, Mike or myself at the range, feel free to ask us any questions...rest assured our personal guns will be maintained and lubricated with Lucas Oil Products.

From the info they provide it does appear that the Lucas is pretty good stuff. My home brew should better it in all areas except for one, mine has the same EP concentration, higher viscosity, higher flash point and the same pour point. But the one area is a pretty significant one. Mine migrates more than I like. I need to get back to playing with it and add a tackifier, then I think I'll have it nailed...
