Anyone here use this stuff? I picked up a can at Wally World. It says that it contains "Teflon". |

Lotsa people trash talk it. I trash talked it for a long time. Then one day while working on an AR10 with a seized barrel nut, after breaking a barrel wrench and a bench vise, I soaked it in Remoil and let it sit for 15 minutes - the damn thing broke loose so fast my buddy almost fell over when he leaned into the wrench.  I've given it a second chance since then. It just doesn't seem to stay around for a very long time on guns in storage. |
| I agree, it's too dry for an AR. When you put it on, it looks nice, you think you're oiling well, then a week later you pull the bolt before you go shooting, and hey, where'd all my oil go? There'll be a tacky film in it's place. I abandoned that stuff. Works great for creaky door hinges though! |
both my brother and i used it at one time (until two months ago). mostly on pump shotguns, 10/22s, and glocks. these guns will run well almost dry and very dirty so a real quality lube is not needed. then after reading all of Quibs posts  i bought some of that bf clp that he and almost everyone at this joint talks about. now the rem oil is in with my wifes household cleaners but she wont use it (would rather use goo gone or bleach and white lith). clp is so much smoother and it cleans better imho. it does not seem to burn off as fast as rem oil as well. it is worth the 11 buck a can. i want to try some of the bf lp if i can find some in town.

| I keep a couple small bottles in my gun cleaning kit. In the past I usually only used it on my bolt guns (bolt lube) and maybe a swipe down the bore once cleaning was all done. I haven't used it on my AR's as there are better lubricants for moving parts at higher temps. |
This is why I have two levels of lubrication: - Lube For Storage: A light coating to protect from corrosion. - Lube For Use: Lubed IAW the -10 Operators Manual. I do not expect lube to stay in place on a weapon stored over a period of time. That is why I adopted two levels of lubrication. This will ensure that lube is where it’s supposed to be, the day I’m shooting. |

Actually QUIB has 2 sub-levels of lubrication under Lube for Use. He (and I) use LP on the bolt carrier group, and CLP everywhere else. The LP is like CLP except it does not have the cleaning solvent. As a result it is much more viscous than CLP; stays where you put it during storage, stays on the critical Bolt carrier group parts like the cam pin, longer than CLP. Some people think it's overboard using two different lubes at once, but I highly recommend this. But who am I? The QUIBster himself does too. And this is afrcom, where going overboard has its own mystique, no? |
