If it's high temp gun oil, like Slip-2000, you could use it to fry eggs in.Does anyone ever use gun oil?

For many years, castor oil was used in everything from aircraft, to race cars, to 2-cycle bikes (still is these days) because of it's high film strength.
Down side is it gums up everything, turns into contact cement, and nearly impossible to get off.
After reading about Frog Lube gumming up weapons, I have my suspicions that it has castor oil in it.
I gave up on it many years ago due to this issue, but then someone came out with a synthetic 2-cycle oil that has the same film strength, but doesn't turn into gum. Use it in my 100cc, 20,000+ rpm kart engines.
Will try a little on an AR next range trip.
In fact, since it's made for mixing with a solvent (gasoline or methanol), it could be used to make home brew CLP.
Oh goody, I can play mad scientist again.
#metooThats what I use in all of my vehicles. From dirt bike to adventure bike to Land Rovers, they all get Rotella T6.
What's SU20?I took this pic at our swat range. They mix it up in bulk and keep it at the weapons cleaning station. It works fine.
I've got both Slip 200 EWG and Milcom TW25 B. The only issue I have with the Milcom is that it separates and have to shake the tube before use.Slip-2000 grease has Milcom beat on max temp by 300° (750 vs. 450).
Have heard good things about both, but no actual test data on either.
Would use either instead of any home brew containing ATF...
In fact, would use Crisco before any ATF wet dream.
Could lube your weapon, and cook with the same lube.
I judge a topic based on number of views and quality memes and shade thrown back and forth. This one has done well over the years. Many seem to agree that lubrication of AR-15 platform rifles is a must. Run the gun wet. After experiencing several feed/extraction/ejection issues on my rifle suspect lack of or improper lube is at issue. I checked out these gun channels explaining where to lube and they have their recommendations on best lube.
Besides which is the best lube and/or grease (meme welcome), really what are critical places to put the lube in your opinion. Any objections to where to lube the gun from these channels. For future reference I have created a YouTube playlist of these vids and others so click here to find them. I will add more as I come across them.
My grease is generic and red. I find myself using grease a lot more often than oil nowadays. It just stays put and feels "slicker".Mobil one synthetic grease works good enough for me. I'm not throwing AR's in the mud and dirt, so I'm not too worried whether any grit sticks to it.
Green is what you use to keep your license plate bolts from falling off of your Harley. Or lock wire if its a shovelhead.

It only delays the loss of the plate, because eventually the bracket jumps ship due to fatigue cracks.Green is what you use to keep your license plate bolts from falling off of your Harley. Or lock wire if its a shovelhead.
