The
purpose of this post is to clarify emergency gun lubricating if you did not
have, or could not get gun care products. At the end of the list you will see
emergency procedures for when you have nothing to work with.
Good gun oils
and cleaners should be bought and back-stocked and are as important as a
supply of ammo. If national disarmament occurs, you will not be able to buy any
of these products. As for quality, they are all good. Break-Free Gun Oil and gun care products
in my opinion are a little better, as it is currently tested and used by the
military. Other than that, the list is all high quality. Look for the lowest
price and the highest quantity when you buy.

First and foremost, we still
have the ability to buy good gun oils and gun solvents. This should be first
choice. The information below should be considered only if there are no other
products available in an emergency.
Understanding
moving parts on a gun is critical to understanding oil. A moving part like a
bolt in an auto-loader-semiautomatic
firearm is of dissimilar metal or hardness than the receiver. A good example is
the pistons in your car motor. The piston itself is of a soft metal and the
motor has a steel sleeve or the block is made of cast iron. If the block was of
the same metal of the same hardness as the moving piston they would bind, even
if lubricated.
How Parts
Fit- Guns can be broken down into two groups when it comes to parts fit. (1) Military
rifles and pistols, (2) sporting rifles and pistols: The military guns are
sloppy in their fit and need to be because when men are mucking around in the
mud the moving parts are given some play so the gun will function in the
dirtiest conditions. So in no way should this be construed that the gun was
poorly made they are tested by being exposed to mud and dirt. Then the gun is
expected to fire. The second type sporting rifles and pistols have a
tighter fit and are known for more accurate shooting but do not do well when
exposed to lots of dirt and mud.
Lubricants
– First you need to understand the metal is not smooth, the imperfections in
metal at the microscopic level are dramatic and there are grooves and fissures,
canyons, and gullies unseen by the eye. The goal of a gun lubricant is to fill
these imperfections on both surfaces and allow them to slide against each other
dramatically reducing wear. Lubricants can have additives like Teflon such as
in the product called Break-Free used by the military. Break-Free Teflon emulsion
helps fill the microscopic grooves and make any firearm work better. This is
called lubra-plate. The Teflon plates the two surfaces that rub each
other. This is said not to be true of silicone spray of some other brands and
some brands say do not use them on a gun as it gums them up.
For an emergency
3 in 1 oil is a fair lubricant for guns as well as automatic transmission oils
and hydraulic oils which are all light ten weight oils. Some sewing machine oil
thickens over time and in the absence of gun solvents might need to be cleaned
up with a toothbrush and a couple of tablespoons of solvent of some kind like
kerosene, lacquer thinner, enamel reducer, etc. and in the absence of any
solvent in a war for example a couple of tablespoons of gasoline. All requiring
use in a well ventilated area away from sparks and flames. Though good for
other applications in a workshop WD40 should never be used on a gun especially
shotguns. The gun will need to be taken apart and cleaned with a good gun
solvent if available and then reassembled and lubricated with good gun oil. Brake
parts cleaner is generally a good solvent except for the ones containing
chlorine. The chlorine eats on the metal in the gun and so you should read the
label before you buy certain brake parts cleaner.
Do not
use heavier lubricants - - a Gear oil that is 90 weight or less is too thick.
Motor oil like the variable weight motor oils start with a small number
like 5-20, 10-20, 15-20, 10-30. or 20- 40 etc. as there a host of
others that start out as a light weight oil but thicken to the second number
which may make the gun not functional
when the gun heats up.

If they pass laws against guns then you will either make your gun parts,
bullets and supplies at home, salvage or do without. There is a gun and ammo supply
system in a book “AmericanHandbook on Guns Ammo and Freedom”. This is a Book on home gun
construction and repair, powder, primers; and a brief history of how the
USA has moved toward socialism and their written plans to overthrow our freedom
and some solutions to save the Constitution.
