Something I'll be adding to this weeks shopping list as though not as bad as the Middle-East the war with dust in the Desert South-West is just as never ending.

I just started using Mobil 1 as I had a bunch sitting around. Far cheaper than Millitech and CLP. Too soon to tell how well it functions, but it is good oil.

The new lube all the rage on other gun forums is something called Froglube. Comes as an oil and a thicker stuff that is supposed to go on warmed parts to spread, and stays on to lube when cooled down. No idea how well it works.

Full synthetic motor oil was recommended years and years ago to those of us who cast heavy lead bullets for bigger bores used in extreme cold weather. Extreme cold can really slow bullets down, otherwise.

The problem is the more oil you pore down the bolt and into the chamber the more dirt it collects

That's a full fledged duhhhh anyone should have known.

a side note, worked for a large overhead door company in Mn for awhile. We used regular motor oil to lubricate both springs and rollers on exterior doors. Its the only thing that worked in both the extreme heat and extreme cold of Minnesota. I now use filtered used oil on the rollers at home

I’d rather have the dust and dry heat here in NM rather than humidity. In a pinch,I have used Wd-40 for short term cleaning of guns.
