Title: Gun oil/ spray on protectant
Post by: huntnfmly on September 17, 2016, 07:19:57 PM: Howdy
I have Casey gun scrubber and was looking for some spray on type oil/protectant.
I can't remember the name of some I've seen.
What do you use?
Thanks for info

I've been using EWL Slip 2000 without any problems.

It comes in a spray bottle too.
You can go on utube and find some extensive testing that guys have done using different products.

QMAXX or one of the product lines are outstanding it even saved me a trip to Less Schaub to get a lug nut loose. I have roomers that the Canadian Military is also using the products. The other product I use a lot is Slip 2000.

As mentioned in the "Barrel Rust" thread, www.shotgunworld.com has a GREAT thread on the true rust fighting ability of many lubricants.

I did recently see an ad for Amsoil (http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/other-products/cleaners-and-protectants/100-percent-synthetic-firearm-lubricant-and-protectant/) firearm oil. I might look into it after I run out of Ballistol.
