THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
So, I am obviously no chemist, but I have been playing around with Mobil 1 as a lube. I found an "extra" bottle of Hoppe's. I was wondering if there would be any advantage/disadvantage to mixing it with the Mobil 1 instead of ATF???

Any ideas?

Seriously? Just use a regular solvent and a good lube designed for firearms and you'll be OK.

We do these threads on favorite lubes/homebrewed lubes about once a week.

Pretty much they tend to get a bit ugly because everyone has their favorite and gets upset when somebody goes a different way

My experience from hanging out at my clubs range and hanging out at a friends gunshop is when guys have lube related issues they are
either useing none at all or very little on something like a AR which wants to run on the wet side . I don't really see any problems with the type of oil so use what you desire.

I find it simple and easy to use a Clean,Lube,Protect type product for everyday cleaning and lubeing so that is what I do, use whatever oil works for you.


The other side of the coin is folks who glob the heck out of their magaines and blow back actions . I have found this just holds the grit and dirt and gums things up, For mags ,10/22's, and Rimfire conversions I get better use out of dry lubes or silicone spray.

Why do we go through this shit everyday??? Solvent, FBC to clean and pick your favorite LUBE.I Like my JGR synthetic HRO.

You do realize your are using a solvent that removes oil to add to your oil don't you???

Like I said, had not done it. Was making a tongue in cheek sarcastic joke. Guess it didn't go so well. The 2nd poster nailed it tho~

I just mixed wheel bearing greese and mobile one and came up with a really nice product.
