Back in the 90's Chuck Taylor wrote an article where he tested several guns in either the Arctic or Alaska or somewhere in extreme cold. I believe that a light coating of Rem Oil was his recommended choice. I've used it for years (along w/ Breakfree CLP) in the winter & never had any problems.

I've heard some unfavorable reports (one of my alumni calls it, "Frog Glue") but do not have any firsthand experience w/ it under 40 degrees... yet.

I use hoppes gun oil for all of my guns....no problems as of yet. I wouldn't think it would be an issue since it's so "old school" lol
