I have ABEC-5 bearings, and I have cleaned them but do not have anything to use as lube, Will gun oil be ok?
guy grew to become into old huh..And what do you think of grew to become into used for some years till now Rem Oil even existed? As a Gunsmith, with some years of arms on adventure, there are reward to the two Oil and mild-weight to Medium physique greases. too most of the two will of direction enable airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dirt and debris to adhere to uncovered areas. Grease notwithstanding will artwork superb because of fact the old timer informed you because it does do in fact stay in place greater suited than oil. there's a product called R.I.G. (Rust Inhibiting Grease) that has been around for some years and grew to become into initially designed for use in militia weapons and grew to become into this form of fulfillment, it grew to become into provided on the civilian industry..It nonetheless is rather standard between Gunsmiths besides because of fact the regularly occurring public interior the comprehend. the only disadvantage is the fact that the grease might properly be straight away affected via thickening led to by technique of extreme chilly temperatures. In heat or warmer environments it is an stunning lubricant, yet in addition gives you an stunning preserving coating on firearms....... so a techniques as WD-40 is in touch..basically because of fact the spray can says it is nice for firearms, does no longer propose that it is..WD40 is already inflicting problems whilst utilized to polymer framed firearms......no longer good....... human beings can learn issues from older those with adventure in the event that they do no longer close their minds.....The old guy is actual...
depends what kind of gun oil, there are lots of oil that'll leave a residue behind which will just make your bearings collect more dirt and dust, gun oil is know for doing that but you always try it out, in a pinch i've used oil before but it's not always the best for lube. A can of tri-flo at the hardware store will work great and should last a long time if you just use it for your bearings. If you have a lot of gun cleaning supplys maybe you have something called rem oil, it'll work good enough to keep your bearings lubed and doesn't leave a residue behind.
