3-in-1 CLP Gun Oil, Lubricates & Preserves All Types of Firearms, Military-Grade Gun Cleaner, Revolutionary Gun Cleaning Kit Must-Have, 1 Pint Gun Cleaner Spray – Radcolube

Prior to being introduced to this oil by a friend, I had been using Lucas Xtreme Duty oil, so my review will be comparing the two.I do a lot of gun cleaning. I shoot competitively so every week I’m cleaning several different firearms.I started using the Lucas oil about 6-7 years ago. It’s a thicker oil, and one of the downsides is that the thicker oil tends to gel a bit when the temperature dips below 60 degrees. Where this was most noticeable was in my semiautomatic shotgun. I’ve been using an inertia system shotgun and the thicker an oil is, seemed to cause the bolt to run sluggishly when the temperature dropped below 60 degrees. I used a thinner oil from Lucas, but was never really pleased with it since I’d still see occasional malfunctions.When I find something that works, I almost never change, or experiment. A buddy gave me a couple small bottles of Radcolube, so I decided to test it out on a rifle, shotgun, and two pistols.On my pistols, the Radcolube worked great. No malfunctions, and after running 200 rounds through the gun, the rails, locking block, and barrel still had oil on them. Oil burning off has always been a concern when using thinner oils. No sluggishness in the colder weather.Tried it on my shotgun, and it works great. No short stroking malfunctions because the receiver and bolt are cold first thing in the morning, and it ran great.I’m still evaluating this lube on my AR-15, but my initial impression is that it works fine. The thinness of the oil is apparent after you’ve run your rifle hard in a match. I run my guns pretty wet, and my BCG is no exception. The only thing I noticed was that my bolt was a little dryer after a match compared to the Lucas oil I’d been using. I’m going to continue testing it and see how it does after a high round count match (250 rounds). My guess is that I may need to squirt a bit of oil into the BCG at the 150-175 round mark. If you’re running a full pressure gas system, and full mass carrier, this will not likely be an issue, but in 3 gun, our rifles are typically running on the edge with adjustable gas blocks, lightened BCG’s, and reduced power buffer springs and buffers. So far I haven’t had an issues, but will continue to test, and from what I’ve seen so far, I don’t expect any issues.Overall it’s a great lube, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The only thing I would recommend is buying a needle tip bottle for more precise application. While I do run everything wet, it’s wet in the spots it needs to be rather than looking like it’s been dunked in a barrel of oil.
