Heatstroke18 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I’ve gotten to the point we’re im almost out of the oil I have been using, and noticed that when my glasses have specs of oil on them after a match, the gun runs flawlessly. If my glasses are dry, I tent to have issues. Keep calm and lube on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put too much oil in, the problem will resolve itself after the first shot, and henceforth the gun will have the perfect amount of lube.

L3324temp Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Mobile 1. It is free if you scavenge the last few drops out of each quart during oil changes. It also stays stuck Better than any gun oil out there and makes cleaning easier.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiontom Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’ll throw my vote in for slide glide. I don’t have to re apply between cleanings and it doesn’t get my shooting glasses dirty. We use so little lubricant in a firearm that for $10 you get a multi year supply no matter what you use. Buy a few different lubricants and see what you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service Desk Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The sad part about oil threads is that there are still people who don't use it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjerry1 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I use Slick 50, the smith that installed the barrel recommended it, still running great. With that said, anyone using Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwbsig Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The faint line on the end of the barrel is the only wear after several thousand rounds of using Lucas extream duty grease. Don’t know if this is real good results or not but I fell like it’s working real well. After cleaning I put a little over a match head size of grease on the end of the barrel and evenly distribute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, anyone using Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil? I alternate between Lucas’ regular and extreme versions, actually preferring the regular stuff for most gun applications and extreme everywhere else. I’ve found the extreme to be slightly too thick if you’ve got parts that are very tightly fit, like in my hand built 1911. At the end of the maych, I find that gun runs smoother by the end of the match if using the red stuff. On the other hand my AR is more sloppy, and so I don’t have a problem with Extreme in that one but still usually grab the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamj Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have recently switched to the Lucas Extreme line of products. Seems to do the job just like almost every other lubricant I have used. I like buying products from companies that support the shooting sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have recently ran into a problem in sub 45 degree temperatures with Lucas Extreme Duty in my Atlas Open gun. I would not suggest it to anyone in colder weather than this in a tight fitting 1911/2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make sure to use I thinner oil when the temperature drops. Though down here in the deep south that is not usually a concern. Thanks for the heads up.

echotango Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I felt that the lucas extreme slowed the slide down too much even in warm temps. Also tried wilson combat and it was way too thick. Still using Mobil1 and sticking with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY BARONE Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just received some Archoil AR4400LP it's the slickest lube I ever used.No slide to frame resistance in my tight MCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have used the thickest... It also comes in standard and Lite Oil versions... I use their thickest oil most of the year here in Florida, but use the Lite Oil on .22 rimfire Steel Challenge guns... It contains "The slickest substance known to man"... How could you not use that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is off of Wilson's web site. Look at the last line. General Recommendations on Lubricating Firearms: ALWAYS wear safety glasses when disassembling or reassembling any firearm! Do NOT over lube!!! Once your firearm is broken in, lube only those areas where you see visible wear, lubricating areas that don't have contact will only attract debris and fouling. After lubrication and re-assembly, cycle the firearm several times and wipe off any excess lubricant that may seep out. If you have lubed properly this should be minimal. For firearms that will be used at constant temperatures below 10° F, we recommend you use a very light coat of a very thin lubricant like Break Free CLP or FP-10. Cut out the middleman and use BreakFree CLP or FP-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you not use that... It was the Universal. It may be slick, but it was slow. I am happy with M1 and done trying other oils. The lucas extreme is not bad in the summer when it is 117'.

My advice to the OP.... it makes no difference what you use in a glock or m&p or all the CZ's I have owned. OTOH, it may make a difference in a tightly fit 1911 or 2011 that has much more rail contact and much less space between parts. I personally use a 50-50 mix of mobil 1 and synthetic atf because i have it laying around. If i were buying lube, I would probably buy Lucas because their 2-stroke oil is the bomb diggety shiznit in my ktm dirtbikes. 200 hrs of hard use between top ends, and zero build-up on powervalves. that tells me they have some smart lube science guys there.

LOL! You are already buying their gun oil. The Extreme Duty is the Snowmobile oil and the Original is the 2-stroke oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38super Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I drain the oil bottles after vehicle oil changes. Been using that oil for years. Tried Slide Glide on a whim purchase, haven't looked back. Now my local indoor range uses Slide Glide exclusively on customer's guns. Little goes a long way.
