how bout marvel M air tool oil for a gun oil/lube? thx

[bayourunner]

Its says clean lubes and repels debris??? I have some layin around just wondering if it would be as good as some mobile 1? If not I will go to the auto store and pick up some mobile 1 and atf fuild, what would be a good ratio to use on guns?

Thanks for all the help guys!

Tis is all i have ever used, when you put it in the air fitting do not blow it out just run the tool for a second to let it in the motor then you have protection.

Dah i did not read the whole thread, and yes it is good for that too.lol.

 

[bayourunner]

Lol thanks bro, hope to get more feedback on this one.

Mobil one is great as well, fp-10 is my favorite though.

Three parts Mobil 1 20W50 to one part Dextron ATF will work.

Mobil 1 20W50 works great by itself.
It works great with 80% Mobil 1 and 20% Dextron ATF.
If you use a lighter grade oil and the mixture is too thin you can add a small amount of STP.

What's wrong with old fashioned gun oil? Just curious.

Yea,,,I read a recent (well written) article which also praised the Mobil 1 and ATF. But I love the smell of Marvel Mystery Oil.

It costs much more and most do much less than a Quality Synthetic Oil.

i have used marvel air tool oil for a while and find it sticks around for a lot longer than remoil and collects less dust/crap around my hammer and other actions... this is more of a concern to me since i'm in the club now and carry condition 1...

a lot of it has to do with living uptown nola... there's a hardware store a block away and a gun store 30 minutes away

just for clarification since i don't think it was said outright, is this a concoction for an alternative to buying gun oil?

I use Ed's Red for cleaning all my guns. A gallon last me a very long time. Works great. I also mixed a similar portion for my 15 gallon cleaning vat. Cleans the bore good and protects from corrosion.
