I’ve been using this product for several years, in the trigger group, sear and hammer spring area… as it is mainly a dry lube that reaches tight areas and attracts less powder residue. Works great with ejector and firing pin springs for the same reason… I use a the oil in high friction areas like the bolt, bolt/barrel chamber and slide areas of my semi-auto autos. I have noted very little wear over the years. I have a Ruger Mark 3 with close to 15,000 rounds shooting steel challenge twice a month for the past 2 years and no wear marks on my bolt. My XDm 5.25 9mm is close to the same but with a much lower round count, about 5000 rounds. I will add that I clean and my guns after each match! This seems to work for me.
This is a Great Product, I have used this for over 20 years, once you follow the directions you will be very happy with this Microlon Product. This Lubricant does NOT attract Dust and Dirt unlike other Oils for Firearms..
If you haven’t used this product yet, you really should. It’s just simply awesome. I was stuck in the rain with my blued Sako 300 win mag a couple of years back, which i had treated with this product when i bought it. Well, long story short, i got home so tired that I forgot to wipe my rifle down for weeks! When I remembered to do it, i was expecting to see rust for sure. It looks perfect! This stuff really works and it will improve the accuracy of your weapons too. Try it. It seems to add some velocity to the bullet because after you apply to the inside of the bore, your bullet will rise which indicates to me that it’s traveling faster. I don’t know, i’m no expert, but bottom line is I now treat EVERYTHING I own with this stuff . . . yes, even my cars. They have specific car treatments! look them up!
Microlon makes a difference.
So much crud on the net it’s hard to know these days. What I can say is my motors run quieter making it possible to hear things in the transmissions and valve train you couldn’t decipher previous to use. Though it has made a difference (improvement) in every engine I’ve used it on or seen it use on, I tend to notice bigger improvements in higher performance vehicles.
It’s certified by the FAA for aircraft engines… Speaks for itself.
Check out their GunJuice reviews on the net. …Probably the only unbiased reviews out there besides the FAA’s approval.
After reading a number of target and bench rest shooters reviews, I tried it on new “test” barrels. They started shooting faster and straighter with MUCH less wear than had previously been experienced. A couple years into those tests…I’m sold.
You won’t find better folks to deal with.
Love this stuff for gun lubrication. Not oily or greasy. You can feel the improved glide after lubrication.
Treating a barrel does not cause velocity to rise by its self, just as molly treatment of the bullets or barrel does not. What it does is by creating a supper smooth slick surface is to reduce chamber pressure, so allowing a powder increase to INCREASE velocity within safe limits.
The method I used when wetting patches was to charge an eye dropper then wet the patch when on the jag. This was for a completely cleaned and degreased barrel with all traces of metal fowling removed. I would wet a patch and scrub the warmed bore until the patch became dry, I would re-wet the existing patch as it would be already impregnated with the Microlon compound. I would use the first patch for the first 5 applications by now the patch would have a grey appearance and the bore a polished mirror like appearance. Bore resistance to the patch stroke would noticeable reduce after the first 3 or so wettings. I would then use a new patch for the next 5 applications; this patch would not develop a grey sheen. It should be noted the bore was dried and reheated between each separate patch wetting. The eye dropper stopped all premature evaporation of the fluid.
Now after 4 months my cleaning still only comprises of using a few drops of a Kriol/ shooters choice mix 1-2 on a Bore Snake. The first observation is as yet I have no traces of metal fowling in any of the 11 rifles treated. Indeed the bores still retain the same mirror like sheen. When it does become necessary to clean the bores using jags brushes bore form (forest) etc I will retreat each bore with a few wet patches on a warm barrel. As to how many only time will tell, it must be noted that none of my rifles are used for target or competition use. I have however fires several hundred rounds from the Hornet.
The other observation is when using the .22 semi auto for an extended period one night recently at maybe -10d c on the hill the cycling rate remained unchanged, the initial treatment have greatly improved the rate of fire and quietened the mechanism. I have not had a jam or failure to cycle a single round since treating it; this did happen on occasion with sub sonic ammo before treatment.
Keep pushing it, remember it was a struggle to get people to use an Over and Under shotgun and scope sights.
As I said before there are no down sides to this product only win-win.
The best thing I have found is a product called Ultra Blue, made by Microlonproducts.com. Unlike rail lubricants with wax bases it does not attract dust and sand, and is odorless. Works great…and only requires a tiny amount on the rail which I spread with a finger
