Get yourself a quart of 20W Mobil 1 and a quart of synthetic ATF. Mix the two of them together and you'll have more gun oil than you'll use in five years.
It's better and cheaper than pretty much anything sold specifically for guns.
What about for cleaning?
Chlorine free brake cleaner for the gun cleaner and motor oil for the lube. Who'd a thunk!
^^This. Really don't need anything else.Sorry to hear this about the guys at SIG and the folks at the gun shop. If you shoot long and often enough you will most likely come to realize that there is no "Super Lube". Just like those ads where they take the oil out of a car that has been treated with the automotive equivalent of super lube and then win the Baja 1000. It is all BS.
For about the last ten years I have been using synthetic motor oil (20w50 for centerfire and 5w50 for rimfire) and found that it works just as well as the more expensive "super" oils. Save your money; a quart of synthetic motor oil cost less than $10 and will last a very long time. Many of the "super" oils cost $10 for four oz.
I like anti seize on the wear points.

Apparently, I was living in the dark. Back in the day, anti seize was lead/graphite based. Now it is a mixture of Al/Cu and graphite.I hope not zinc oxide anti seize....
Great for steel on aluminum threads/inserts. I dont condone in a firearm though... Perhaps I'm just living in the dark?
