I've been dismayed at all the new uber, super, do everything, green, nontoxic, you can even eat it CLP type lubes hitting the market and have come to the conclusion that they all fail in one area or another. So I'm pretty convinced that one really needs two products for gun care. A solvent and a lube/protectant. Mix them together and they essentially destroy each others ability to do their task at least to some extent. I've long had my own formulation of gun oil and have recently been studying the idea of a 2nd business. I've also found some vastly improved synthetic base chemicals for the blending of what I think will be an awesome gun oil and that's what got me to thinking about the 2nd "sideline" business. It will have some cleaning properties but not be claimed to be a CLP type product, just an outstanding lube that will provide protection at temps from -40 to way hotter than any of us are going to be shooting in with great corrosion protection.
So if you could get an outstanding lube in the lubrication and corrosion protection area and made in Oklahoma would you buy it? My goal would be to make it reasonably priced and I'm not really looking to put the other guys out of business, just to provide a great product at a reasonable cost and maybe add a small amount of cash to the toy budget. I'm thinking that $11 to $15 for a 12-16oz bottle would be where the pricing would fall, that's pretty reasonable compared to most of the big name products out there. Like I said, I'm just in the brainstorming phase and will have to do some testing. What say you, would you buy a premium gun oil? If there's enough demand an aerosol version could happen and I have an idea for a grease with the same base package too.
