odorless gun oil

Post by hangfour »

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a Kimber (45) pro CDPII. I so love this gun! But during its break in period I've been oiling it with Browning Gun Oil. The oil seems fine except that it has a very strong smell. I don't want to have the "perfume of gun oil" on me while carrying. I sit close to others during the day and since I can smell it so much after the gun is holstered I suspect others may too. Obviously this is undesirable. BTW, I have not drenched the gun in oil ... I exactly followed the Kimber directions when oiling the piece.

So ... does anyone out there know of a good gun oil that is odorless? Thanks

Nyoil from Brownells. No color or smell, good lube properties And Lubriplate for my grease. Also good properties and no problems when caring in a holster.
I posted a link to the article I got my lube and grease info from

I love the sound smell of jet fuel in the morning.

Or just plain Mobil 1 works great, too.

an added bonus, since Mobil1 is the official oil of NASCAR your gun is going to run faster too! "rlol"

Seriously, a $6-7 quart of Mobil1 will oil a lot of guns and there is little or no odor.

I am partial to the SLiP2000 line of products. No odor. No mess. Non-toxic. Biodegradable. Holds up under extreme conditions from desert to arctic. Will not attract dirt, dust, or moisture. Fills in the micropores on the metal surfaces to resiste fouling buildup.

if you put more than 5 tiny drops of oil on it, you're just playing with it

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the suggestions ... After some musing I think I'm going to pick up a bottle of shooters choice FP 10 because it apparently smells like cinnamon and the gun store near my place carries it. It gets good reviews on the web (for what that is worth). Thanks again!

FP10 is another excellent product. You'll be happy with it.

I also use Brownell's Friction Defense oil - excellent lubrication with no odor at all.

I like the Mobil 1 idea too. I'll have to give it a try - it's certainly the most economical.
