"MAGIC LUBE" by P. Gorbenko
"I have been in love with the hobby of shooting and collecting firearms for 40 years and have enjoyed and savored every moment of it. The thrill and excitement of another "acquisition" has not diminished after all these years.
After placing such a high priority on a life's interest, an early realization was that I needed to find the right oil for lubrication and preservation of these toys. Asking the older generation for good information turned up mixed results.
Some of these shooters were using motor oil, motor oil mixed with kerosene, Sperm Whale oil, 3-in-1 oil, various graphite preparations, as well as Rig Gun Lube, STP, mineral oil, and other miscellaneous brands of gun oil. Believe it or not, I have tried them all. I figured that any lube was better than none. However, some are better than others.
All the various commercial gun oils are very similar to the 3-in-1 oil. Moving parts in a gun need an oil thick enough to cling to the surfaces, and these products are just too light to do the job. Some contain detergents and solvents to keep carbon and debris loose and soft, but this is totally unnecessary for firearms. However, there is one product that stands head and shoulders above the others, which we will discuss momentarily.
There is a product out on the market that really excites me.
It is currently being used by some military units utilizing semi-auto .50 caliber long range rifles. The oil has just the right viscosity, perfect to stay on the bearing parts, and it is not temperature sensitive. This product does not separate and boy, does it ever work! It offers excellent protection against metal oxidation along with the greatest lubricity available. Tests show that when used in the barrel it cuts down lead build-up. The plastic applicator tip which tapers to a fine point gives you a surgical application to avoid waste.
In order to appreciate how slippery this product really is, you will have to try it out.
This product is called Blue Magic Oil. It is blue and you cannot see through it due to it's lubricity enhancing additives. The ingredients in Blue Magic Oil become impregnated into the pores of the carbon steel. The more you use, the better it builds up. It has not been found to overbuild.
No matter what else I try it on, such as electric motors, ball bearings, door hinges, and reloading machines, it works better than anything else I have ever used."
