I have used Lucas products in all of my off road toys for years and have had great results...

I was in the NAPA store getting some "Sewer Pipe" heat shrink and at the check out counter they had little bottles of "Lucas Gun Oil"...

I picked one up, opened it and it has the consistency of PelGunOil...

Any one try out this stuff?

Joe

Hmmm. Lucas gun oil...

Some Lucas products are very good- some not so much. For example, alot of their oils that are used without a filtration system in place can cause more sh!t than good- i.e. differential oil. Why? The Lucas products are designed to keep crap (i.e. wear particles and dirt) in suspension- not letting them drop out. This is fantastic where a filtration system is in place- but in applications where there is no filter, often it is better for particulates to drop out/sink in the lube and stay away from the moving parts- i.e. differential gears.

Not that this applies to gun oil necessarily. Does it appear to be any better than other lubes?

Thicker than Birchwood Casey "Sheath"

I am going to try it out on some virgin bluing tomorrow...

"Sheath" tends to dry out on new bluing jobs within in a day or two.

The Lucas is $3.50 for 2oz. and I paid $5.99 for a 3.5oz of "Sheath" at the local Shooter's Supply.

Hey Eric,

I ran filters on all the toys... except the diffs and did not have any troubles...

The buggy... I ran the stuff in the transaxle as well...

I don't use Lucas products myself- most of my vehicles except for one toy end up rusting out before I need to worry about whether or not I should've used enhanced lubes.

That being said, I had talked to a few people years ago that found the bearings in the rear ends of some vehicles running with Lucas hypoid gear oil were scored significantly more than rears without the Lucas product in them.

That being said, if the gun oil seems good and is 1/2 the price of the Birchwood Casey oil- it's likely worthwhile- not like anyone is going to put 200,000 miles on a gun!
