Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rem Oil a good lubricant for firearms?

According to experienced shooter Ben Stoeger, Rem Oil is a perfectly adequate lubricant for general firearm use. He has personally used it for a long time without experiencing reliability issues, even during high-round-count tests, suggesting it's a cost-effective and functional option for most range activities.

Why do people debate firearm lubricant choices so intensely?

The debate over firearm lubricants often stems from strong personal opinions and a desire for optimal performance. While specialized products exist, the intense focus on specific brands or types for everyday shooting can be seen as putting energy into something that isn't critically important for basic functionality.

Can budget lubricants like Rem Oil be used for serious firearm testing?

Yes, Ben Stoeger has used Rem Oil for extensive firearm testing, including duty ammo tests with thousands of rounds. His experience indicates that for general shooting and reliability testing, Rem Oil performs sufficiently well and does not inherently set a firearm up for failure.

Are there situations where specialized firearm lubricants are necessary over Rem Oil?

However, for typical range use and general maintenance, the benefits of these specialized products over a common oil like Rem Oil are often marginal.
