silicon lube??
I was wondering if silicon spray is useful as a lubricant/protectant internally or externally in firearms. Anyone use it?[?]

Silicone lubricants are bad for the bore, tend to collect dust, and leave residue (like armor-all on your dashboard)that gets sticky after time.

Rem-oil, works on about anything and has teflon in it as lubricant as an ingredient. Put it on and forget it.[:)] Comes in spray and squeeze bottle.

been useing it for over 45 years now. none of the problems mentioned. will continue to use it because it is top notch rust protection. just dont over-do it spray it on then wipe off the excess also keep it away from any scope lenses.[:)] 0 -

Well, guess what guys? I bought Rem-oil years ago and then read in Gun Tests that it was crap and very bad for a gun so I never used it.
I still have it. I haven't a clue if what I read in "Gun Test" magazine is true. Has anyone else read or heard this??

I live in the polar area (Minnesota) and had a lot of trouble with a Beretta shotgun not cycling. I had used a little Rem oil on the bolt.
I finally called the service center. The first question was I using Rem oil? I said yes. They said it's OK for warmer weather/climates but gets thick enough to slow the action (wouldn't fully seat the bolt. Got pretty good at hand stroking the follow up shots). The recommendation was to spray some Break Free, TriFlow or other teflon based lube on it. I had Break Free, hosed it down and set it out in
-15 degree cold for a half hour. Never missed a shot after that.0 -
now i'm confused.......[8] 0 -
Khegglie: I guess that there are some firearms that have tighter tolerences than a lot of others and cold weather does effect them. You will find this is true in most autos. I have an AR-15 and use Rem-oil on the cam pin and around the gas rings and every place that needs a little lube and have never had a problem with cycling, use it on my Browning auto 5 as well, of course it is not as tight as a Bretta, etc. If you use Rem-oil on a bolt gun, pump, lever, etc. in the moving parts you will not have any problem. I use it as a rust preventive on the outside and in the bore for storage. Just remember to run a dry patch down the bore and around inside the chamber before you shoot, as you would with any lubricant, causes pressure to rise in the chamber from hydraulics, making hot loads show extreme pressure and mild loads show high. I have used breakfree, seems to be a good lube as well as a protective agent, military uses it. I didnt like it causes it smells funny and some of the critters I hunt for have pretty good sniffers and can smell you coming for a long way, also stuff was so slippery couldnt hardly hold on to firearm. For a rust preventive, stuff is great. Just my thoughts.
