I love this. The Cherry smells fantastic and the winter us great for cold weather. Also I'm pretty sure it keeps my gun cleaner.
[–] RacistJew [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Ya know, I hadn't really thought about how easy cleaning is nowadays, but now that you mention it, it is usually just a quick wipe and re-apply.
[–] 2amoose ago
Man am I glad someone agreed. I don't think it's an intentional feature but it sure is nice.
[–] racewest22 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Cool! Have you gotten to use it on your gun with temps close to zero?
[–] 2amoose 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I really haven't. At least not for extended periods of time. Coldest day of shooting I did this winter was ~17 degrees and only for a couple hours. Everything seemed normal, but I've never shot cold weather without it.

Okay, time to listen to Uncle Zorton all you special fucking flowers; buy this shit. Now, go forth like a plague of locusts and buy it all up.
I found this weapons lube by searching for a grey market source of sperm whale oil. No shit, I was spending a weird night shift scowering the internet for sperm whale oil because it retains it's properties even in the deep cold. I live in Alaska and got tired of hearing old hands at the range tell me to put ATF or 90 weight or some other god awful mix on my weapons in the cold. After doing some research it turns out sperm whale oil was the lubrication of choice for transmissions and weapons for a long long time. Then we decided to stop hunting all the whales to death and never reopened hunting so the oil became non existant. There was even different grades of oil with some from the sonar cavity being the highest grade if I recall correctly.
Anyhow, I decided to go all victorian and try and get a bottle of old stock but couldn't find anything. The cherrybalmz stuff kept popping on my searches though and I got to reading. This guy knows his stuff, he's likely a lubrication engineer in real life and realized most of the information on gun lubrication is just plain wrong.
I think I ordered a batch 3 years ago and haven't looked back. My inital order took forever to ship so I emailed him and he explained he was out at trade shows the past 2 weeks and sent me the full line of lubes by way of appology.
The cold weather lube is on point and perfection. I use it on all weapons when winter sets in and have performed several freeze tests of all my guns using it. I stuck my AR and G19 out on the porch at -20F and marveled at how easy the action was after an overnight soak. I took the same AR up north for a long range shoot last week and jammed the butt stock into a snow bank at 10F with a 10mph breeze, while we did some 500m shots. The AR then hopped into action right away with zero issues, just like it was a sunny 70F day in the easy lands.
The bolt gun grease is also effective and the maker suggested using that for my bolt action Ruger Scout, "Frank, from accounting", instead of the cold weather formula. During the run last week there was no issue cycling the bolt and the rifle ran perfectly. Made a 500m shot off irons onto an 8" steel target that run by the way.
In the summer, I simply wipe the lube off with a paper towel and replace with the regular stuff in a very light coat. All my guns are happy and cleaning is very easy now, it's literarly a paper towel, a bore snake and a reapplication. I don't really have baked on carbon buildup to spend time scraping off on my bolt anymore for the "Angry Neighbor" my AR.
I like this stuff so much i'm tempted to take my weapons down beyond the recommended tear down level and apply it anywhere I see lubrication. Only lazyness has prevented this from occuring.

Wow. Legit. If you had some pictures, that'd be better than any other gun lube review I've ever read/seen.
Any comparison to Slip 2000 EWL or tw25b?

This stuff is slick shit. Get it.
[–] Ihatemoney 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I bought the 5 pack. Fuck it it’s lube.
[–] GoodbyeFreeSpeach 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
This shit is expensive but so worth it. If you find it on sale, pull the trigger. You will not be disappointed. Got all my buddys hooked on it and it smells great
[–] RacistJew [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
This stuff is rad. Dallas is a straight shooter. He explains a bunch of it on the reddit thread. I have tried it. Works as advertised.
They also have a 5x mixnmatch for the same price. You can get that and request the CLP.
Quit being a Faggots and buy this shit.

I've yet to be sold on this snake oil, or grease to be honest. Lots of promises and I don't see the extra 100x mark up for something vs high temp grease, or others. The free sample costs $7 shipped. Meh...
[–] RacistJew [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Quit being a cheap nigger. Just do the 5 for 2 mixnmatch and get the black rifle balm and field balm, or .22 of you have those.
This stuff keeps my guns running after hours in the rain, unlike any other shit I have tried. It has "fixed" a couple of my buddies guns that wouldn't cycle.
The only thing I found comparable is some $300 Flourine based lube that I stole from work, but as Dallas explained, the Fluorine will off gas in an AR and slowly kill you.
[–] racewest22 ago
Too bad about the flourine stuff. Mind if I ask if you've compared this stuff to slip 2k ewl or tw25b?
