Has anyone else tried this? Looks like a good gun cleaner...

Daggummit! Now I'm hungry!

Canoli looks surprisingly like tacos, really sugary tacos

Any light oil will work.

Firearms are not high stress compared to the other things oils are expected to protect.

ATF fluid is synthetic whale oil and is about as good as you can get. Whale oil was the oil of choice for watches when they needed, i.e. the finest oil in the world. 3 'n 1 oil.

It's just so much sexier to use the later $8.00/oz. Wonder Slick.

For what it's worth, in the rest of the world "canola" is the rape plant. Canola oil used to be sold as "rape seed oil" but then someone realized that wasn't a PC name, so it became "canola". Actually, canola is an improved variety of rapeseed.

Oil is oil at a certain level... whether it's dead dinos or canolas (what the heck is a 'canola' BTW?).

Canola oil is mostly made from a plant called Rapeseed (Brassica napus) , lets just say the name did not go over well so they made up a new name

WD40 is not an effective lubricant. Great for freeing things up, but very poor for lubricating long term, lots of solvent in it.

So hosing my guns down with brake cleaner and then with WD 40 is not a good plan ?

Use 'Rem-oil', it has Teflon, and also keeps your eggs from stickin' to the skillet!

I've started experimenting with this stuff, which is probably just highly refined canola oil:

Seemed to work pretty good as a lube on my AR. Haven't tried cleaning with it yet. Also works great on squeaky hinges.

I use a light coat of Rem Oil on non-moving metal parts.

Moving metal parts get a light coat of high temp wheel bearing grease.

Would you buy it if the bottle said rape seed?
Rapeseed, also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rappi, rapaseed, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae, consumed in China and Southern Africa as a vegetable.Wikipedia

Scientific name: Brassica napus
