Rem oil on all weapons. I have never had a lube problem. Ever.
My late Dad, the Marine taught us to clean after every outing. I guess I could use bacon grease as often as I clean my weapons.
In the Military we/they used CLP. I still use it to clean, but I put Rem oil on all parts that mesh/slide together.

I use 3&1 oil for my wife's sewing machine, and door hinges 👍😉

Back in my Army days ( 60s ), we used an oil in a olive drab green squeeze bottle. Have no idea what it was. It worked, no choice, LOL

+1 for Ballistol. I live in south Florida and I have never had any problems with any of my guns. No rust, no pitting, never gums, never fails. Ballistol for cleaning, lubricant and protection. I use it like I used to use Break Free CLP 30 years ago.

Used many brands. Nary a problem with any. Well, except WD-40.

except WD-40.
Technically WD 40 is a solvent and not a lubricant.

I recall reading about it many years ago and the lube like 'appearance' to it is created by the chemicals in it and do not last long or offer any 'lubricative' qualities.

I use a Hoppes oil lubed patch down the barrel after cleaning and Rem oil for all other parts. Then the whole gun gets wiped with a Rem oil rag. Wood and all.

Perfect opportunity to bring up Renaissance Wax for use on wood and brass.
