Lucas gun oil

[JohnKSa]

A few years ago after reading about Dexron/ATF I started using it for various tasks,(guns, locks, tools and various and sundry mechanisms in the shop.) It works just as well as CLP for every application I have tried it on.

I've seen at least a couple of "experts" opine that for those who aren't happy using gun-specific products, a good quality ATF is a better choice than motor oil.

In addition, Ed (of Ed's Red fame) advised using 50/50 Kerosene & Dexron II, IIe or III ATF as a gun oil.

at least in the Subaru community

There's a Subaru community? I learn the neatest things in this forum.

Who'd-a thunk that there would be a Subaru community?

The MSDS for Lubriplate FMO 350-AW ( which is highly recomended by Grant Cunningham) has only 2 components:

1) White mineral oil (petroleum)
2) Proprietary additive package

So either you can put a lot of cool stuff in an additive package and make it a super gun lubricant - in which case Lucas Gun Oil can really be a super product, or both Lucas Gun Oil and Lubriplate FMO 350-AW are fairly simple products with limited capabilities compared to something like Breakfree CLP.

Just use CLP and don't worry.
