According to what I know, LAW is for pretty much arctic conditions.

 

[Festeraxp]

Yeah from what I understand it won’t gum up.

A teaspoon every morning will keep you regular.

It is basically synthetic motor oil. We used it in the winter time when I was stationed in Germany.

 

[johnnycat]

Castroil 5W30?

 

[Maser]

Yup, I've used motor oil before.

April 91????? that is well past expiry date. I'm pretty sure it's gone bad by now.

Surely, all of that stuff we pump out of the ground is past it’s expiration date too...

Unless it's congealed, it should work. Easy to test

 

[Sean the Nailer]

Sarcasm, it's what's for dinner. Enjoy the oil, I'm sure it will slip good.

 

[mdmp5]

Lube it up!!!

 

[Festeraxp]

I figured you guys would like it. Yeah when I opened it, it was vacuum sealed with a metal lid should be good

 

[Rstrick0352]

Good stuff. Works great in gas guns and other auto weapons and doesn’t cook off nearly as fast as CLP.

That's it. Won't freeze in the action or gum it up.

Funny, I have a military can of OD green spray paint. I swear it's bottomless and lasts forever. I've painted a good bit of shit with it and other cans have dried up and it's still going. It was pretty heavy to start with. Dated mid 80's! I'm gonna cry when it runs out.

I swear, you could've painted a damn car complete with one can. And it sprays very well too. Go figure.

Can get synthetic motor oil at Autozone for less than that

Can get synthetic motor oil at Autozone for less than that

literally $5/ quart for 10W30.....going to do the exact same thing.

ive had people on other forums tell me "you shouldnt use motor oil on guns because its not 'made' specifically for guns".....

apparently marking something "gun lube" and overcharging for it makes it better suited for firearms.....

Not in that collectible can...?

Arfcom? M4C?

Stupid people are stupid

ETA: I recently rebarelled an AR and instead of using moly grease on the barrel nut threads (like the Army TM says) I used Mobil blue bearing grease (what I have in the garage). Rifle still works and the barrel hasn't flown off yet.

But, but, but... It will NEVER come off...
