Mobile 1 for gun lube

[XACEX]

has anyone tried using mobile 1 or other synthetic motor oil for gun lube? if so how is it? i ran out of Hoppes lube awhile back and seriously considered it. want some input before i try it though.

I wouldn't. Some engine oils have additives in them that I wouldn't want to risk. It sounds like a good idea but the additives are designed to do certain things in an engine and under high temperatures. It's also a pretty think oil that's likely to attract more then protect.

Ive never used it myself, but some people swear by it. Im interested to hear what others have to say. I have used hydraulic oil with good results, tho.

In a pinch I'm sure it'll work fine. But why not just ditch the the motor oil and the crappy hoppes and get yourself some weapon shield or FP-10.

Mobil 1 is fine to use on firearms. I know of people that use it with no issues.

What's wrong with Hoppe's?

Well, nothing really. but that doesn't mean there's not better alternatives.

Just like there's nothing wrong with a ford escort but if you can get a cadilliac for close to the same price then why not.

I don't know much about the science but from my personal experience weaponshield is good shit. Plus George is a great guy and I'd rather give my money to him.

I've used my sample on both of my colts and noticed the difference immediately...weaponshield works better than CLP breakfree...I use Mobil 1 in my truck engine w/ great results; that's what it is made for!

i use quaker state 5w30 for my m3hb, its too cost prohibitive to use weapon shield or any other gun lube.

weapon shield...for the win.
