Knucky McPee Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I see Lucas Oil Products is now in the gun care business. Has any of you tried their stuff. I'm always looking for that miracle cleaner that removes the carbine on your revolvers. https://lucasoil.com/products/out-door-line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Solo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Not sure on how effective it is, but based on the range of products they offer like the media additive, this seems to be more than a whim or a quick cash in attempt. When i run out of old #9 i'll probably give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have used the thicker red gun lube for many years. Good stuff. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 They have been for a couple years, now. Great products, especially the oils, grease and metal polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have an aerosol can of Lucas Extreme Duty CLP; pungent aroma but seems to work fine. No complaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinola Kid Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The red gun oil works very good. I use it on my handguns. But if you load too light and have some unburnt powder it tends to stick to the oil. Found this out loading 32 s/w long for my son. Jammed up the cylinder for him. But this wasn’t an oil issue it was a powder issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clark Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ive been using the red and the green Lucas gun lube products for going on 2+ years now. The red is all I put on the insides of my 66 carbine and my RM Open Tops pistols as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Bruce Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I got a bag with their heavy gun lube and CLP at Taylor's open house today as a door prize. I haven't tried any of it yet but I'll let y'all know what I think when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucky McPee Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Thanks for all the replies. I used Lucas Oil products for many years during my drag racing career. Lucas definitely knows oil, metallurgy, and friction reduction. I always thought about using their synthetic transmission oil do to its high detergent qualities on my guns. Wonder if their red lube is their tranny oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucky McPee Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Got a question for you all that have tried Lucas products on your guns. Does it leave your guns slippery when wet like balistol does. I live in the rainy northwest and shoot black powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The red gun oil is like gear oil in thickness. It 'clings' well. You really should look at Eezox. I have used it for many years on all types of weapons/firearms. https://www.eezox.com/ OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Eezox is pretty good. But I've found Seal 1 to be better. And it works as a dry lube that protects well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I use some Lucas products in gun care but I especially give company a "thumbs up" for their conservative funding (Trump campain)' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July Smith Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Might have to give their gun oil a try. Their various line of vehicle-related leak stopper/sealers have kept my high mileage clunkers on the road for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Talked to them at the 2017 SHOT Show. One thing bothered me at the time in that they were unwilling to submit their product for MILSPEC certification. Probably not a big deal, but in my job I have the worry about temp extremes, so I've taken a pass on their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many top gun products today do not have the 'MILSPEC' cert and work great. I've used Lucas for many years in my cars and their gun stuff is also GTG.

Ramblin Gambler Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I use lucasoil extreme duty bore solvent in my ultrasonic. It works great, but I don't think I'm going to use it for black powder guns. When I start shooting black, I'm going to use moose milk / ballistol for those guns and keep using CLP / lucas oil for the modern guns. As I understand it, oil based cleaners aren't good for black powder. It leaves the parts wet. Probably a little slicker than ballistol or CLP does, but I can't be sure because I've never bathed my guns in ballistol or CLP. I usually turn on my compressor and blow the parts off, then wipe them and there's no need to add any more lube. If I let it drip onto the concrete it creates a slick spot. Figured that out the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
