I found this to be an EXTREMELY informative thread and thought this would help out a lot of people here.
Over 30 different products were tested. It seems like the best results were from Eezox with Tri Flo, PL10, Corrosion X and Weapon Shield CLP coming in right behind. Now some of these are not lubricants, just made for rust prevention. It’s amazing though how downright horrible some of the popular products faired in the testing.
Go to the thread linked above to read more about how he ran the experiment. But to summarize he sprayed the samples with a water/salt mix (to simulate a worse-case scenario) and even left the samples in the rain a few times...
Here is the final picture after about a week. There are several close-up pics in the thread on m4carbine.net.
Thumbs up for Gasko's!! I looove that place! And I'm all the way out in Hunterdon County... but a girlfriend and I make the trek in mid-May each year. We make a nice day of it... we go early in the week and are there when they open. (IMO, a greenhouse that's been baking in the full sun for a few hours is a special kind of hell, so it's best to arrive EARLY). Gasko's has a nice selection and really great prices. Worth checking out if you haven't been!
WTS my Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun-Marine version. I purchased this gun in the summer of 2023 and has approxitmately 100 rounds thru it. The gun is in mint condition and comes with two slings, shotgun cards, and a Romeo 5 red dot. Gun comes in original ABS case with all original documents and accessories. I live near Jackson, NJ and would prefer to use Pinelands as the FFL for transfer. First one to post "I'll take it" will get it.
