Gun Juice by Microlon

[1911CA]

I just picked up a small bottle of this at the Ontario gun show today. It claims to be the be all end all type of lubricant/protectant. It supposedly adheres to the metal surface and makes it impervious to dirt and so on. It is supposed to be applied only once to your bore and all other metal surfaces for that matter.

It can be used in auto/boat/aviation engines and was supposedly used to set world records..... it reduces friction, extends the life of the metal to metal parts..... blah blah blah

Sounds great. It's been around since the late 60's. But I don't remember hearing about it before. I figured that for $10 if it can do half the crap it claims its worth the ten spot.

Is anyone familiar with this product or does anyone use it?

You mean microlon? Yeah, I've heard of the company name in passing, wasn't aware they made a firearm lubricant though.

Gun Juice increases muzzle velocity and improves accuracy and consistency.

I didn't even realize they claimed to increase accuracy. That wasn't the pitch that the guy at the show was giving, he never even mentioned accuracy. His main pitch was protection. What impressed my was he had an old blued Colt Single Action Army on display that he had obviously been handing to passers by all day (I watched three people before me fondle it). In doing so it would normally collect fingerprints like crazy from all the sweaty paws fondling it all day long. But instead the thing looked pretty damn clean. I tested it with my own grubby hands and it didn't impart my own fingerprints like I would normally notice.

I have a couple old revolvers that are nickled/chromed and starting to get that cloudy tinge to them. I was thinking this might be a good thing to use to protect them over time.

I applied it to a few revolvers and a stainless 1911 a few years ago,and there was a very noticeable difference. The slide became much smoother and cylinders rotated much better as well. The trick is using the blow dryer and getting it nice and hot. The second gun I applied it to I skipped that part and ended up having to do it again with heat because I barely noticed a difference. I'm pretty impressed....now you've got me wondering where I put the remainder of it,looks like I might have to go hunting for it.

Sure, it might be worth a damn and it's not overpriced. It's just that my reaction to seeing the page was to literally facepalm.

That's why In my original post the last sentence asked if anyone had any actual experience with this product.

Thanks for the info 4Ever
I'll give it a shot. It doesn't seem like it could hurt anything. The worst that could happen is that it doesn't work as advertised.

I've read a bunch of reviews online about the stuff and I could only find one negative review stating it didn't work. From the review you can tell he didn't heat up the metal before applying. So it seems on par with your experience with your other gun that you didn't heat up.

Thanks for the reply [emoji1360]

No problem, I admit I was equally skeptical at first. The website and some of the claims are almost comical. But the product speaks for itself ...perhaps they should have kept it like that. I just did the bcg and upper for an AR last night after seeing your post,slicks things up like butter with no residue. I may have to buy another bottle.

I'm intrigued. Read the article on pages 2 through 4: http://www.microlon.com/PDF/AmericanGunsmith.pdf

It was used on the plane that just set the world record for continuous flight a couple years back or whatever that record was. I can't remember but I remember the plane

It apparently bonds to the metal and can not be removed by any means including solvents

The blued gun he handed me at the show had been coated with it many many years ago and only once according to him. And the blued surface was smooth as glass and resisted fingerprints extremely well

I look forward to putting on my old colt 1908 stamped 32 and my S&W nickel 586

The 32 is in bad shape nowadays (from keeping it under my bed for 10 plus years when I was younger and forgetting it was there until I bought a new bed) now the nickel is coming off in places

The S&W is starting to look cloudy

That was the reason I bought the gun juice. To try to save the S&W from getting worse

I'm just not sure how to bring it back to new before I apply the gun juice to preserve it

Did you heat up the metal first?

Is this another one of those "personal" lubricants charading as a firearms treatment?

Not another Frog Lube needing a hair dryer to oil a gun please.
