[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1590415, member: 78056"] Whirlwind, There used to be two kinds of Rem oil, one with and one without teflon. As I now used mostly synthetic oils I still have a can maybe half full of the non-teflon left. I also use moly grease, and Brownells Action Lube Plus, which I believe was advertised for stainless firearms. Breakfree and even WD-40 at times (especially after using a degreasing agent like Break Parts Cleaner or Carb Intake Cleaner from Wally World, both essentially the same stuff). I mostly use 5w-40 oil and 75w-95 synthetics now, however. Looking over the Lilja website they make no mention I could find regarding using teflon although there are a folks that mention that he has told them not to use it in the bore, as he told me, on the 'net. They do, however, recommend using a bronze brush for cleaning. Go figure. I'm sticking with my wonder chemicals and nylon brushes... and (gasp!) moly coating a lot of my bullets. Lot's of controversy there but I like not having to clean my barrels as often, which is the main point of the stuff as far as I'm concerned. Maybe some lower pressures and higher velocities, too, but I've never really compared. My barrels hold accuracy longer using the stuff so I'll keep using the messy icky stuff until I run out.
