[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2526257, member: 423"] That's awesome! Shadow, if it had demonstrably better performance to say, Mobil1, and didn't cost an arm and a leg, then yes, I'd be in the market. There's just nothing that breaks the cost/benefit/convenience barrier to me right now. I typically get my guns out, and at least handle/clean/relube, if not shoot them, pretty frequently. So the "it lasts 10 decades in the safe" doesn't really mean much to me. I also recycle the last few drops of Mobil1 when I change the oil in my cars; so that's pretty much free. I also don't have to heat anything. So for me: -That 12-16oz bottle for $10-15 would need to last a year (considering average use), or more. -Lube at least as well as Mobil1 -Protect from rust better. -Come in a bottle with an applicator tip that would make it easy to use. -Not stink. From my experience with oils, 12-16oz lasting a year for Average Joe should be easy. That's half a quart. Where Mobil1 fails IMO, is as a rust prevention. It's not bad, but not exceptional. It's WAY better than RemOil, but if left long enough, it doesn't "stay" very well. [/QUOTE]
