Has anyone used this Royal Purple??? If so how good is, i use their maxfilm for household stuff and it blows all others out of the water. With language like this: Royal Purple's Synthetic Gun Oil works well in a variety of temperatures and will not thicken in cold weather. "Synerlec" (Royal Purple's proprietary, additive lubricant technology) creates an ionic bond that adheres to metal parts to provide continuous protection and unparalleled performance.
It sounds as if Royal Purple has simply tapped off a little of their automotive product, packaged it for the gun industry and done what Mobil 1 ought to do with their Mobil 1 motorcycle oil product line. They'll make a killing with it profit-wise. "...Creates an ionic bond that adheres to metal parts..." sounds like they are referring to its PAO basestock which would behave this way since it possesses high molecular polarity and therefore a high affinity (you can call it adhesion, though it is not technically correct) for metal surfaces. Here's a link that might be of interest to you: Synthetic Oil Material Data |

Lucas has a gun oil now also. I saw it at Nappa besides the new Lucas Tool Box oil. Its very thick like there engine oil additive. I'm a mobile1 man. Royal Purple is too thin and borderlines transmission fluid if you ask me. Obviously there all good synthetics. You know that they sell RP in differing viscosities don't you? I prefer M1 20w50 myself for many reasons one of which is its high viscosity and excellent VI number. |

I was referring to the NEW Royal Purple gun oil that only comes in one flavor.
I like the 20w50 full synthetic Mobile 1 MX4T on my guns and bikes but there is nothing wrong with the 10w30 full synthetic that i put in my cars also. They also have a 20w50 v-twin formula. Some guns like a little thinner oil but i don't like how thin remoil,royalpurple,ect is except for certain things like on firing pin channels,gas tubes/pistons,ect for the guns that call for it.. The thinnest i will go on bolts/rails is BreakFree CLP or LP which just happens to have the same synthetic base stock in it as Mobile1. |

Thunder my friend, you're dropping the ball on me.  You should know that PAO is very NON polar.
I too think this might just be an engine or hydraulic (most likely) oil repackaged as a gun oil. |

Jumped over from a "consult" that I was in the middle of to type that response (shit) and look what I did. Egg all over my face. Next, I'll be trying to tell you that alkanes are unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxygen can be used to extinguish fires. |
