Would I be foolish to buy a quart of 100% synthetic Amsoil motor oil to use as lube for my guns?
The gun oil I'm using now is the "regular quality" stuff (if you want to call it quality) that came with my cleaning kit. I clean my guns every time because I plan to have them for a long time and I can already see some wear.
The gun oil that comes with the Outers kit does not appear to be very good at all. So, instead of paying $8 for a 4oz bottle of synthetic gun oil like Militec-1 I was thinking of purchasing a 6 dollar QUART of 100% Amsoil strictly for lubricating my guns.
What do you all think about using a high quaulity 100% synthetic motor oil as gun lube?
It can be had in just about any viscosity you want, why not use it?
If so, which viscosity for my pistols and revolver?
Better yet how about synthetic ATF! Less additives than motor oil.
