Overview

Lucas Gun Oil CLP takes a different approach to the all-in-one maintenance product by building its formula around a polymer base rather than the petroleum or synthetic oil bases used by most competitors. The practical result is a lubricant with notably high film strength that resists the two most common failure modes of gun oils: evaporation in hot environments and migration away from contact surfaces during storage. Where lighter oils slowly creep off the bolt carrier group rails and pool in the lower receiver, Lucas stays where you put it.

The non-toxic, odorless formulation makes this one of the most user-friendly CLPs for indoor cleaning. There are no petroleum fumes, no chemical odor, and no skin irritation concerns during application. The polymer base also means it does not thin out significantly at elevated temperatures, maintaining consistent viscosity across a wider operating range than many petroleum-based alternatives. For shooters who store firearms for weeks or months between range sessions, this staying power translates to functional corrosion protection without the need to re-oil before shooting.

As a cleaner, Lucas Gun Oil CLP handles light to moderate carbon fouling but is not a replacement for a dedicated solvent on heavily fouled bores. Its real strength is in the lubrication and protection roles. Apply it to the bolt carrier group, charging handle, trigger group, and any other metal-on-metal contact surfaces after cleaning with a solvent, and it provides a durable protective film that persists through hundreds of rounds. High-volume competition shooters report running 1,000+ rounds between re-application without significant increases in bolt carrier friction. Available in 2oz needle-tip applicators through 8oz bottles, the smaller sizes are well-suited for range bags.
