are you guys happy with this oil ? does it keep the rifle clean and protects it ? or miltec oil is btter ? too many options out there makes you ask.

I use Hoppe's 9 where it calls for a drop of oil. As for cleaning I use CLP Break Free (spray can) or Ballistol. I have never used miltec so I can't really comment. It is my opinion that you clean the gun or rifle immediately after use breaking it down per manufacturers instruction with any reputable product. Take note of any unusual wear and lubricate accordingly.

I'm very happy with this. No oil is going to keep a firearm clean, but it does a good job of keeping it lubricated and protected.

I have used it for many years in a first generation Mazda Miata that has limited slip. So have many members of the Miata community, including those doing SCCA racing and also autocross. I believe that it is the most widely used gear oil, and I have never heard any dissatisfaction with it. I am sure there are other synthetics that are also good. -- John

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

It goes more by time than number of rounds it seems. My last one lasted 2+ years. It still worked fine after several thousand rounds but it would not go back in the rifle when it was removed. It was swollen and it would not re-insert. The exposure to oil and cleaners took it's toll over time. At a little over three bucks it's well worth it.

I do not own a Mosin rifle and have never cleaned one, but I think I've heard other shooters who do have one say the ammo used in a Mosin is very "dirty", leaving a lot of residue in the chamber and barrel. Due to the widespread shortage of .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammo over the past several months, I found myself buying and shooting several boxes of VERY old, smoky, and dirty 148 gr wad cutter and 158 gr lead semi-wadcutter ammo (when is the last time you saw many NEW boxes of those?) in my Ruger Security Six .357 Magnum. After going through 150-200 rounds of this ammo, six rounds at a time, these Allen Company gun cleaning patches did a really great job of soaking up the M-7 Pro Gun Cleaner and all the dirty ammo "shooting crud" it removed from inside the barrel, in and around the forcing cone, inside each chamber, and the rest of my revolver. Then, when my Security Six was "squeaky-clean", the Allen Company gun cleaning patches spread a thin film of M-7 Pro Gun Oil (LPX) throughout it's insides and outsides, then absorbed any excess oil I might have applied. These Allen Company gun cleaning patches help me keep my Ruger Security Six revolver, my Beretta 96A1 semi-auto pistol, my Marlin semi-auto rifle, and my antique Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. 12-gauge SxS hammerless shotgun all looking, and more importantly, functioning perfectly and helping me shoot groups as tight as my personal shooting skills permit! I hope this info helps you.

That's a common concern with RWS rifles. It's from a lack of lube on the seal in the compression chamber. Purchase some RWS chamber lube. It's available from Amazon. Expensive, but absolutely necessary. Only takes a few drops. Google it, there's some videos available online that show minor maintenance of these rifles.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

The M-pro 7 Tactical cleaning kit is awesome!! It will clean all your bores and you never have to worry about residue because it does a great job. It will also lubricate and keep your guns like new... Great Product!!!

The pellet lube is best for seals and gaskets, ...general lube. If you want to run a cleaner down the barrel a good solvent will scrub the lead from the grooves, but oil afterwards and then run a dry patch. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Day!

I use Crosman's silicone chamber oil in all my piston break barrel guns. It works as advertised in all of them. I've found the oil to be as effective as any I've tried.

No this is is a heavy oil only. I use it on the bolt carrier of my AR. It has no cleaning properties.

I just use Husqvarna Bar oil and that seemed to work fine. I would recommend draining the extra oil before storing it.

So far, I've had no problems with synthetic oil. However, my unit is only a couple of months old. I was also worried based on some of the older reviews mentioning problems but the newer ones don't. The owners manual has no warning about synthetics. So I can't tell if:1. They fixed the problem or2. Mine just hasn't had enough time/use for the synthetic oil to do its damage or3. Other owners didn't clean the vac. very well. I use a good soap detergent and make sure there is basically no oil residue left.I just read Duck's answer so I'll bet folks are not cleaning the unit properly and timely.Good luck.

I haven't had a single issue with this rifle, and ive had it for about 7 months now. Fired over 10,000 rounds easy. That burst function eats bb's. I've always used clean ammunition fresh out of the container, never any reused rounds. It may just be jammed. Have you tried cleaning it at all? Or even using some air rifle oil?
588818
None of the above. 98% of all the experts say that you should never have to clean the barrel of a pellet rifle. I bought the oil because I have a nitro piston and regular pell gun oil isn't supposed to be used in it.

Definitely not a problem. I've used this stuff for 4 years. I realized very quickly that in most cleaning situations I can use just a little of the product. I'll soak the inside of the barrel and let it sit. Everywhere else just gets a wipe down. If I do an indepth cleaning I might use a little more on the firing pin and wipe it off really good. I remove any oil reside with dry worn out cotton shirts and reapply one tiny little dot / dab of oil on one contact point and spread it to the other contact points with my finger or cue-tip. I use VERY little to accomplish this. It's not good to leave any part of your gun "oily" as that is a place for grit/grime/carbon to build up rapidly. Definitely not a problem.
