Not sure what's in it.I've never needed to lube magazines, but am always looking for a dry lube for the action. We shoot varmints in remote places and have to be completely self sufficient. If you shoot an AR 1000+ times/day, you learn quickly the problems with fouling from direct gas impingement. We carry brake cleaner to clean our the actions, but haven't found any lube that doesn't help collect more fouling. I've thought about trying graphite spray, but hate that the graphite is almost impossible to get out of clothing.
What is in the OTIS dry lube?
Correct, the field isn't a good place to disassemble the bolt and do it the right way. We do clean and lube the right way in the hotel at night, but once every 1000 rounds isn't enough, so we have to resort to less than optimal methods in the field.Guns also need oiling only where needed, spraying is not right way of doing it.
I use One Shot in reloading case prep, tried it on inside mags but it made no difference. Very light oiling of mag springs makes diff in rust prevention.Haven't tried the Otis Dry Lube but swear by Hornady One Shot. OneShot is just repackaged dry saw blade lube. Believe it or not, the repackaged Hornady is much cheaper than the original product.
We don’t. No magazine I use needs it to work properly.Ive only been into guns for a few months. Why do we need magazine lube?
I mean, I clean the carbon build up but that's itWe don’t. No magazine I use needs it to work properly.
That’s all I do. Most followers work just fine without lube - even polished stainless steel followers in 1911 magazines. I use nothing harder than a toothbrush when cleaning a magazine - I don’t want scratches compromising the parts and changing the friction characteristics.I mean, I clean the carbon build up but that's it
