Lucas Oil is known for its automotive products but also has an outdoor line that features products for firearms maintenance and lubrication, including Extreme Duty Gun Oil, CLP, and Bore Solvent & Ultrasonic Gun Cleaner. How did they perform in PDN’s testing?

LUCAS OIL GUN PRODUCTS

Chuck Usina, Director of Range Operations at Ancient City Shooting Range in St. Augustine, Florida, is meticulous about firearm cleaning and maintenance and takes care of a lot of guns for customers who come in to his range for firearms training and practice. He talks about his experience with Lucas Oil gun products.

Chuck thinks it makes sense that Lucas Oil has gotten into oils for firearms because Lucas started with automotive products, and both firearms and vehicle motors operate in high-temperature environments. He had already used Lucas Oil gun products such as the Gun Oil and CLP and they worked really well. Recently Chuck tested the Bore Solvent & Ultrasonic Gun Cleaner.

BORE SOLVENT & ULTRASONIC GUN CLEANER

Chuck cleaned two suppressors with this in his ultrasonic machine. He didn’t have to run any heat through it and it took ten minutes to clean the suppressors. He was really pleased with the results. Suppressors are a good test of a cleaner because they get extremely dirty.

GUN OIL

Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil is a special blend of oil and petroleum-extracted additives producing a lubrication specially formulated for high volume, high heat and friction firearms. This product comes in a small applicator bottle but can be purchased in bulk or in larger sizes and the applicator bottle refilled. In fact it comes in sizes up to a 55-gallon drum.

ON THE PDN TOUR

These products have been used by instructors and students with good results and reviews on the 2019 PDN Training Tour.

Gun cleaning products are an important part of your defensive gear because keeping firearms cleaned and lubricated helps minimize the chances of a malfunction in a defensive situation.

All right, Chuck and I are here to talk about the Lucas Oil products, the outdoor line specifically, obviously for firearms maintenance and lubrication. Now I've used this product quite a bit, the gun oil itself, and I've been really happy with the results, but I'm not super meticulous when it comes to cleaning guns and taking care of things. Chuck, you really are. And you also take care of a lot of guns here at the range for a lot of different customers that come in. And I know you've got the ultrasonic cleaner from Lucas you've used.

There's been a lot of different things that you've been able to try out. What was your impression been. Well, I'm not surprised that Lucas got into the oil business for firearms 'cause they've been using it for automobile motors for years. And it's a high temperature thing, just like a gun would be in viscosity, keeping it there. And like you, I'd gotten some of the oils before, they worked really well.

And then this showed up one day to try it out, put it in the ultrasonic. And I cleaned two suppressors, 10 minutes in the ultrasonic, no heat. You don't have to run heat to it. That's what breaks other cleaners and solvents down. And literally took it out, dumped it out, wiped it down, and put some oil on it.

It worked wonderfully. I was really happy with the product itself. And that's why I wanted you to come out here because we all know if you've shot suppressors, you know how dirty they get, it's sort of their job, right, to trap the gases. Well the gases that they trap in there, they slow down that exit speed. There's also a lot of other things coming out of that barrel as well.

And they get dirty and you showed me how clean that was. And I know how meticulous you can be about it. And so this is the bore solvent. Obviously the ultrasonic cleaner comes in bulk, also. They also sell the oil in bulk and they just, they can, the applicator, these little applicators, you can refill this.

So you're basically paying for this container, if you buy it just in this size, you're gonna spend a lot more money. Lucas oil said, "okay, no, we're gonna sell you the container or you buy one of these and then you can buy the oil product in bulk." The CLP, now I'm not a huge fan of the CLP concept, right, I'd rather have one product for cleaning and another product for lubrication. But this, I know a lot of guys swear by CLP. And obviously that Lucas Oil is gonna put something, another product in your hands that's gonna work. So I'm excited about using some more of this on the tour, but I'm glad that you're having a good experience with it, because again, having me come out here and talk about a bunch of different products that I might use once a year, not really my thing.

I like to run the guns and keep them lubricated, keep them running, but not get them super shiny perfectly clean. I know that's something you're into and the Lucas Oil products have been working really well for you. They have been, very much.
