Rem Oil, far too thin for anything other than rust prevention. I do use it in my magazines and buffer tubes though because when it dries it leaves behind a dry film of teflon lubricant.
Smells great, but forms a shellac-like hard coating on stuff after years (I've experienced this long before there WAS an internet!) that's hard to remove and does necessarily protect things from rusting well then if disturbed.
Which sigs and do you know what malfunction? The firing pin jamming?When we ran Sigs I used WD40 and had a malfunction at the worst time and almost paid the ultimate price. I went to Sig and was told to never use WD40 as it dries out the gun, it does not lubricate (Sig words not mine.) Also the State Game Wardens had trouble with WD40 and would not allow it's officers to use it. Rem oil has worked fine for my Glocks but on heavy use during the range with M4 rifles, Rem 870 police shotgun and Sigs classic series I found Rem Oil does not hold up well and requires repeated application during training, unlike TW25 or even break free CLP. This is my experience others may have different experiences.
