Brothers & Arms TRUE BLUE is one of the best lubricants for firearms on the market today. I am a gunsmith and avid hunter who has used a lot of different products trying to find the best lubricant for myself and my customers.
I had the opportunity to test out the TRUE BLUE Gun Oil during deer rifle season in Southern California. I also had the opportunity to use the oil while training long range shooting in Southern California and in Socorro, New Mexico.
During deer rifle season of October, 2018, we had a heavy thunderstorm that rained all through the night and into the next day. I lightly applied True Blue Gun Oil to the bolt of my Remington 700. I also applied a light layer to the rail guides of where the bolt travels. As the rain steadily came down, I had worked the bolt a few times to make sure my position was suitable and that manipulating the bolt would still work as it rained. After the first day was over, I wiped down the bolt and my rifle. Usually, firearms near the coast will rust overnight. Keeping that in mind, my rifle didn’t have any rust on the bolt and inside the area where the bolt slides. The next morning had a lot of moisture in the air. So, I applied more True Blue Gun Oil for the next day’s hunt. I had a successful day in hunting that morning. Took the first shot at my deer and with the gun oil, it was an easy manipulation of my bolt to chamber a second round for a follow up shot if needed.
On the second week of December, 2018, our sniper staff had scheduled a long range shoot with our bolt action rifles that consisted of .308’s and .300 Winchester Magnums. First day of shooting was on a hot day that reached temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees. The gun oil worked perfect as we manipulated our bolts. We each may have shot about 250 rounds or more out of our rifles. After the days shoot, all we did was wipe down the bolts and the chamber area with ease. No need to scrub. The very next day, we all shot in the rain. I applied a light coat of the gun oil on my bolt and chamber and still manage to fire about 100 rounds out of my rifle.
Our sniper staff attended a long range shooting course in Socorro, NM on the third week of December 2018. The temperatures in the morning were 25 degrees and 55 degrees during mid-day. While we were shooting, I applied a light coat of the True Blue Gun Oil to my bolt action rifle, the manipulation of the bolt was very smooth which made it feel like it was gliding on the rails as we chambered round after round. We shot 150 to 200 rounds per day during the 3 days of shooting.
With my experience of using the True Blue Gun Oil, just apply a small coat of oil on all working parts. This will allow the firearm to work reliably in wet conditions and during cold weather environments. I am very confident that this gun oil will perform very well from both extreme weather conditions.
Hi Andy,
I thought I should give you an update. I’ve been using the True Blue (Gun Oil) and Gun Grease exclusively on my Browning Citori XS Skeet gun for the last year. I’ve run around 15,000 rounds through this gun in practice and competition using mostly the Gun Grease. What I like is that the grease is easy to apply AND remove without causing a mess. When operating the gun, the grease stays where I put it and does not migrate back into the receiver where it could carry unwanted dirt and crud. When I’m done for the day, a quick wipe with a rag removes the lube before storage in the take down case. I apply new lube each time I assemble the gun to shoot it. The gun has shown no wear since using this grease, and the internal parts I lubed with True Blue (Gun Oil) continue to function flawlessly.
So far, it’s good stuff. Thanks for the samples (SS 2017).
Just wanted to give you an update on the results using your Gun Cleaner here at the shop. It’s the product I reach for first when I’m doing a deep clean on any firearm. Since it’s less viscous than a lot of other products, particularly a CLP, it’s able to quickly flow down the bore and into all the tiny crevices, such as the ones found in the barrel extension near the chamber on an AR-15. This is a place that is notoriously hard to clean thoroughly. Your Gun Cleaner gets in all the tiny hard to reach areas. It does a great job of breaking carbon loose and making it accessible for a cleaning patch, a brush, or compressed air to get out of the gun. It seems to do a good job at getting the green copper oxides moving out of the bore as well. If I let it sit in the bore for a few minutes it really does a lot of the hard work for me. Solvents are more aggressive on carbon and copper, but they’re also more aggressive on your skin, lungs, and your senses if you know what I mean. No need for a respirator, a fume hood, or an open window. I recommend to anyone they should keep a bottle on hand when doing a quick cleaning and a full clean. Once everything is clean, put a drop of True Blue Gun Oil on the friction points, reassemble the firearm, cycle the action half a dozen times, your done. Quite the product you’ve created. Thanks for that.

Before rebranding away from our disappointing relationship with B & A
After being introduced to your Gun Cleaner at my local gun store who highly recommended it. I am rather impressed how well this works for a water soluble cleaner. And it’s biodegradable!! And it doesn’t stink!! I use it on my hand guns, bolt action and AR15. I found it works really well on carbon build up on the AR which I am experiencing less of using the True Blue gun oil.
Only the best for my chokes!! TRUE BLUE Gun Cleaner will make your chokes spotless!!! Instagram
Kaden is a TRUE BLUE Sponsored Trap Shooter
TRUE BLUE (Gun Grease) worked awesome this week during the California State Championship. The heater grease stayed strong and lasted through 1000 rounds and is still going strong. Works great on Over & Under Shotguns like Kaden’s Sliver Pigeon. We love testing new products and TRUE BLUE Gun Lube is exceeding our expectations. Instagram post
Wow, cleaning Kaden’s (son and sponsored shooter) gun and chokes just got a lot easier. TRUE BLUE has the best cleaner we have ever used. My Dad, a shooter of 45 years was skeptical at first. He had his back up “carburetor cleaner” out, that was never used and will never be used again. He is now a believer like us. Lastly we didn’t have to clean the gun outside, there was no strong chemical smell. Instagram post
Great meeting you (Shot Show 2017)and thank you for the ride. You did a great job presenting your products which peaked our interest. With so many different gun lubes on the market wading through the hype and hocus pocus can be a daunting task.
I have only used your products on my Glock 19 by design to afford me a baseline comparison with my other firearms and products. I have been pleased with TRUE BLUE performance. My test while rudimentary I have found to be a good indication of its potential and long term use. What I have done is clean and degrease the entire pistol then grease my rail contact points and oil the rest of the gun. I only have about 1500 rounds through it at this point and have found it to be performing very well. The plan is to not add any more lube and see how long True Blue works until I have a perceptible decrease in performance. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your products and afford me an opportunity to exercise them.
