Ballistol for cleaning and lubrication on everything. Can't beat German engineering

I'm on the Mobil 1 bandwagon. It works well and doesn't gum up in very low temperatures. I do quite a bit of repairs and refurbishments in addition to normal maintenance, and I'll bet one quart will last me ten years.

Yes same here only I use synthetic 5w-20.
As it doesn’t thicken up like conventional oil and slow the slide down in cold weather.
l don’t think that the type of oil is that critical as long as it prevents metal to metal contact and depending on how much crap the environmental conditions ad to the mix ( dirt ,sand , dust etc) less is definitely more.
There are a slew of good products out there, take your pick.

Brilliant! Wish I’d a thought of that .

Used it for years.
Works great. Also the best padlock "winter antifreeze" I've used. Beats silicone hands down.

whatever you put in your car.
like a 10-30 is perfect.
having a clean and lightly lubed gun is more important than brands or anything else.
any chromed, teflon or melonited parts will ask for even less oil.

How many of you wipe down your stocks & forearms with oil?

No oil. Its not good for the wood.
Ballistol or Renaissance Wax. Ballistol for more regularly used rifles & shotguns. Wax if I'm not likely to play with it for a while.

I use a spray wax, it's like a light duty detail wax. It's what I use on the painted surfaces of my Indian motorcycle, and on the lexan (I think it's lexan) windshield. It's safe for the clear coat finishes used on todays vehicles so I expect it's ok for the likely harder more durable gun furniture finishes. Then long guns go into their "socks" and hand guns go into socks... real human socks LOL.
My forearms are always wiped.

I have 2 Mosin's .. out in the sun on the range it still leaches Cosmoline from the wood

For my guns with wooden stocks, if I'm using it regularly I use Lemon pledge on it after cleaning, if I'm taking it out of the rotation for a while I use a good quality hardwood paste wax like Johnsons. Either way, once a year they all get the wax treatment, that time is approaching.

Stop proposing crazy ideas. Not everything you see on TV is real. Were you watching Brokeback mountain extended uncut edition?

A lady once insisted I show my forearms and then she asked why did I have one too many?
