Rem Oil warning

Bam Bam · Oct 28, 2017

Saw this on Facebook and thought I would pass it on. I actually have some of the older stuff which works good but now I'm going to change what I use.

Being I lost a lot of my gun stuff in the flood when I restock my gun cabinet I want to make sure whatever I use is good stuff. And yes when I find time between working and repairing my house I will do more research.

This post in for informational purposes only, I would suggest you do you own research and draw your own conclusions unless you are one of the "all knowing" members here!

Still have cans of the original, good to know not to buy any of the new stuff.

I’m not sold on this. Any proof other than some Facebook post?

Use a quality lubricant rather than Rem Oil which Is Not known as a quality lubricant.

While I don't use rem oil much (got a little bottle that has lasted for years), I'm probably going to wait for some confirmation before I crucify it.

I find the lubricant snobbery a bit laughable though.

Agreed. I’ve used Rem oil without issue for years. I’m not operating in a desert or soaking my firearms in water either...

Yeah... lets all just stop using it based on a Facebook post... considering I have never seen an spec of rust on my firearms and I spray them down before storing. (Yes I checked... no rust). Delete this ignorant defamatory post. Not that Rem Oil is the best option... but I don't agree with bashing it with false information.

My dad passed away and left me 2 quarts of Hoppies #9

If the Rem Oil was trash no one would be buying it

It's a staple of the ignorant and uneducated . Put a well known name on a piece of crap and a lot of folks assume quality .

I love these good oil bad oil discussions. There is those who say WD 40 is the worst thing you can put on your guns, it doesn't protect them. It's funny because for the last 40 years it has been the only thing I use and my guns have no rust. WD 40 and a few drops of Mobil 1 in the action and I am good to go. It also seems to remove powder residue and carbon better than any thing else I have tried. I have cleaned a bore with Hoppes until the patch comes out clean and then run a patch with WD 40 through the bore and it comes out dirty.

WD 40 is good to displace water but not a very good lubricant. I have seen metal get surface rust overnight when coated with WD 40. Engineers finally quit allowing WD 40 on Turbine Deck.

I only posted this info so people could Make their own conclusions. If you see something that might be an issue to fellow members I would hope you would post it, no need to be an ass about it Geezz! Oh so you have information proving this info is false, did your own chemical analysis????

This also was something TPS found out recently and most of us have had bottles of this sitting around for years so you may not ever have a issue until you buy more.

Ahhh you you’ll provide your chemical analysis then?

And no, I can’t say I would post ANYTHING and everything from a Facebook post that isn’t a credible source BACKED UP with chemical results or PROOF... fake news much?

Come on.

dantheman · Oct 29, 2017

Has anybody ever seen a rusty can of WD-40 ?

AustinBR · Oct 29, 2017

Damn guys, play nice.

I hate to say it, but I almost exclusively use CLP on my guns...and they go bang every time. I have also used Rem-Oil before with no problems. Oh, and I've had mud on a gun before and used evil to wash it out.Does this make me a bad person? haha

LACamper · Oct 29, 2017

+1 for CLP.
When I lived up north we used Gunslick. Yech...

Log Island · Oct 29, 2017

I used Rem Oil on the hinge points on my Green Egg this weekend....it worked awesome...

All y’all bitchin ‘bout over priced “gun oil” when a quart of synthetic motor oil can be had for less than 3 bucks. Is this still a thing? I’ve get to see what any “gun oil” has over any synthetic oil aside from the higher priced per ounce.

Come on now... you know unless a Navy SEAL or a reputable shooter (and in some instances not even reputable), or its been featured on the cover of a shooting magazine, or a YouTube gunner has recommended it, doesn't cost 10 times more than it should, or anything like that... it can't be any good!

MOTOR OIL??????? OMFG!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS???????????? lol

On a serious note... Motor oil works great. Everyone hates cleaning Cosmoline off of stored or surplus rifles... yet its still the standard... the cheapest bidder and I have yet to see a rifle swimming in it to have any rust.
