The surface finish is more critical than the lube you choose . And be damn

'em in my wheel bearings .

I agree with Snag. If the surfaces are in full contact the pressures will be lower and will not squeeze out the lube. I might differ from him on using gun oil. Gun oil is pretty thin stuff so guns will work in freezing weather. You might try a thin grease in some guns and see what works best.

Its still very hard to beat Tri-Flow and similar lubricants for guns,
particularly in cold weather.

Here are other suggestions

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"
