Your favorite gun oil

I duck hunt a lot. I have had great luck with Rem Oil Spray. It cleans and protects. You have to apply it a lot but water beads up on my shotguns after repeated applications. It really searches out gunk and boils up to the surface as well. I love me some Rem Oil I does.

I love g96 syn, its the best so far ive have used, i put some on a q tip and put it in the freezer for a week and it was just as slick as when i put it in there. and my gun cleans sooo easy with g96 and it protects very good too.

Rem Oil may not be the greatest but it is everywhere.

Mobil 1 synthetic works fine on ARs, AKs and even 1911s.
Is it the best gun oil ? Nope, but it works fine. The best
that I have found is Weaponshield.

Hoppes No. 9 kinda sorta. I take a bottle of No. 9 and leave the bottle open for about a month. The lights in the No.9 evaporates off, and what's left in the bottle I use as a gun oil.

I LOVE the smell of G96!!! It works pretty good for a lubricant too. I used rem oil for years till I found this stuff.
