I don't think i've seen any locally, but i will say this stuff is crazy spendy, to the point where even I haven't really wanted to try it yet.

I've never seen it local.. why not just order? Always cheaper online anyway

I was able to get some from nw armory this was a few months back so give them a call.

I did order a bottle on-line but figured if I could find it at a local shop and support them I would. Thanks guys.

Make sure you get the extra virgin Fire Clean.

Actually, this is a rad discovery. Since the stuff seems to work pretty OK, and vegetable oil is a LOT cheaper and more readily available than Mobil 1 (my main gun lube), we can just keep refilling our little oz sample bottles with Crisco and stay totally tacticool for free.

Even growing an operator beard isn't that cheap.

Pretty funny, when you think about it. They say you need to pre-treat your gun parts dry, then use it as a lube like you normally would. You know.... like splashing a little dab of grease in your pan so's yer eggs don't stick... Works for eggs, why wouldn't it work for guns??

Of course the problem here is that this someone re-bottled a product and put a (maybe the most?) really expensive price-per-ounce price on it and claimed to have engineered something NEW and DIFFERENT, with all this micro-science mumbo jumbo to justify the price. He basically made a fool out of everyone who paid him for his product.

All those endorsements.... also fools, eh?

I had heard of fire clean but never tried it. Looks like I never will.

Although, with all of the ringing endorsements, I will be switching over to canola oil when my can of rem-oil runs dry.

So what's wrong with Type A transmission fluid.?

Works for me. But it makes the eggs taste funny.

 

[PrDubi]

I got some firecream. ...got some crisco also ....sure look the same...my guns will be happier I suppose.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

If they hadn't gone all amazingly exclusive on the price, i might have tried it, but it really didn't look like anything that special, or different at least, from other gun oils. Unlike Seal1 for example, which was a different approach, and i still like a lot.

Used to work for a company that Roll Formed and induction welded aluminum into radiator tubes as well as other things.
For a time we used vegetable oil on the rollers (not the bearings) that shaped the aluminum.

I'll agree with the news article, if it works, so be it, as already said here, it's not like these things are magic new oils, at best they're combinations/modifications that work well for the application.

I likely won't be testing it though, nothing i saw in testing/reveal etc, really made me think it was very good, and, oddly enough, knowing that it's canola/vegetable oil based, it makes sense to the way i watched the oil apply
