I know this is laughable but for oil use(cleaning etc) on guns I usually use 3 in 1. For serious lubrication I use either Break free Rem oil or for winter time use, I use powdered graphite..no oil. The powdered graphite I get from a 5 lb block that was given to me years ago. Fine file takes off what I need. I put it in a spouted plastic squeeze bottle to apply to guns. Works great. And i have used motor oil on guns..mainly Browning A-5s that quit..Little from the dipstick from the car engine on the mag tube got 'er workin again..LOL. Emergency use..mainly in dove season..or shootin pigeons after the first 1000shells. Actually doesn't seem to matter what you use as long as you remove as much as possible with normal cleaning procedures before use. For taking rust off the bbls or receiver I used tranny fluid with fine steel wool. Tried brake fluid once but it smelled too nasty. After removing the wood...I soaked it down in ATF waited a couple hours and scrubber 'er down with 3 or 4 ought steel wool. Stainless if possible. ATF was much cheaper for the purpose than any gun oil
