Lubricant recommendation

[Wyatt Smith]

For blued steel and wooden stocks - Balistol

For Lubrication - Mobil1 20W-50 & the odd need for grease I use Lucas Red & tacky grease.

NEVER WD-40!.... It's a solvent & water displacer not a lubricant.

WD-40 is a wonderful product, but it’s probably the most miss used as well.

A dab of KY

Crap, you beat me to the punch. Talk about low hanging fruit.

Wish I could remember how to access a study done on gun lubricants/corrosion resistance by brand over time. The study left mild steel plates out in the weather after lubricant use, and took pictures after I, then 2, then 3 month intervals in all weather conditions. Very informative, and in some cases surprising (tho more like embarrassing) concerning famous brands...
