Reliable firearm performance starts with proper lubrication.
GNP Defend Gun Lubrication Oil is engineered to reduce friction,
protect metal surfaces, and support smooth, consistent cycling under heat,
pressure, and demanding conditions. Designed for shooters, competitors,
and professionals who rely on pistols, rifles, and shotguns in training,
competition, and duty use, our gun lubrication oil delivers dependable,
long-term reliability.
Unlike general-purpose oils, gun lubrication oil is formulated to stay in place,
resist carbon fouling, and protect against corrosion without damaging finishes
or materials. GNP Defend Gun Lubrication Oil is built for modern firearms that
use advanced coatings, polymers, and mixed-material components.

Gun Lubrication Oil FAQs
What is gun lubrication oil?
Gun lubrication oil is a firearm-specific oil designed to reduce friction,
protect against wear, and prevent corrosion on moving metal components.
It is formulated to perform reliably under heat, pressure, and carbon buildup.
What is the best gun lubrication oil?
The best gun lubrication oil is one engineered specifically for firearms.
High-performance
gun oil
should stay in place, resist fouling, and remain safe on modern finishes,
polymers, and mixed materials used in today’s weapons.
Does WD-40 work as gun lubrication oil?
No. WD-40 is not designed for firearm lubrication.
It can evaporate, leave residue, and attract debris that interferes with
reliable firearm operation. Purpose-built gun oils are recommended.
Is gun lubrication oil different from motor oil?
Yes. Motor oil is designed for engines, not firearms.
Gun lubrication oil is formulated to handle carbon fouling, tight tolerances,
and corrosion protection required in firearm systems.
How often should you apply gun lubrication oil?
Gun lubrication oil should be applied after cleaning and as part of routine
maintenance. Frequency depends on usage, environment, and storage conditions,
but regular lubrication helps extend firearm lifespan and reliability.
