What’s your favorite MSR oil?

My guns get Mobil 1 with some tungsten disulfide powder mixed into it. That is one of the very best full synthetic motor oils mixed with the absolute best dry lubricant. Slicker than Teflon.

That’s for the best possible lubrication. For wiping down surfaces to prevent rust, I use just the oil with no added tungsten disulfide.

Im going to order some tungsten disulfide and mix it with my gun oil. See if I notice any difference.

You may or may not notice a difference. Tungsten disulfide, though, can handle extreme temperatures and pressures so you will know, rather than feel, the difference. I did treat the bolt and receiver on my bolt gun and it made an obvious difference in how it worked. Much smoother.

Be aware that molybdenum and tungsten disulfide powders can be a bit messy to work with. Prepare your workspace accordingly.

And when you first get the powder, put some on your thumb and forefingers and rub them together. I think you will be amazed.

Select the carrier carefully. Most gun oils will burn off before the additive, especially petroleum based lubes.

Slip 2k EWL is rated to 1200 degrees. The rest are not.
 
I currently use Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil, but I'm thinking of switching to LSA gun oil. Kinda expensive, but clone correct for my M16A1 clone and pretty effective at what it does.
