Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube II Universal 4oz Squeeze Bottle Review

The Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube II Universal 4oz Squeeze Bottle Made a Bold First Impression

For years, I’ve preached the gospel of proper firearm maintenance. I’ve seen too many jams, failures to extract, and premature wear due to inadequate lubrication. That’s why the promise of the Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube II Universal 4oz Squeeze Bottle immediately piqued my interest.

My quest for the “holy grail” of gun lubricants led me to this product. I needed a lubricant that could handle the extreme demands of tactical training and competitive shooting. The Wilson Combat name carries significant weight in the firearms world.

Unboxing the Ultima-Lube II, the no-nonsense squeeze bottle design speaks to its practical purpose. The consistency feels right – not too thick to gum up the works, and not so thin it disappears after a few rounds. It’s a simple, functional package, promising serious performance.

Compared to my usual go-to, CLP, and the high-temp grease I use on my AR’s bolt carrier group, Ultima-Lube II aims for universality. It suggests a one-size-fits-all solution, which, if true, would simplify my range bag considerably. I was excited by the prospect of a single lubricant replacing multiple products.

First impressions were positive: a well-known manufacturer, a sensible delivery method, and a promise of high performance. I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype.

Real-World Testing: Putting Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube II Universal 4oz Squeeze Bottle to the Test

First Use Experience

My initial test took place at an outdoor range during a tactical carbine course. This environment provided the perfect proving ground for the Ultima-Lube II. The conditions were moderately dusty with temperatures hovering around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

I applied the lubricant to my AR-15’s bolt carrier group, pistol slide, and a few other key friction points. The application was smooth and precise thanks to the squeeze bottle design. It performed flawlessly, with smooth cycling and no malfunctions throughout the first 300 rounds.

The ease of application stood out. The squeeze bottle allowed for precise placement of the lubricant, minimizing waste and mess. No issues or concerns arose after the first use.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several months of use across various firearms and conditions, the Ultima-Lube II has proven its worth. It continued to perform consistently, even during a particularly dusty training session and after being exposed to light rain. I now have upwards of 2000 rounds through the AR without cleaning, only re-application.

There are no noticeable signs of excessive wear or corrosion on any of my firearms treated with this lubricant. The finish on high-friction areas remained intact, and the actions remained smooth. Maintenance is straightforward.

Compared to my previous lubrication regimen, using Ultima-Lube II has simplified my cleaning process and reduced the frequency of deep cleaning. The rifle shows no signs of slowing down, and cycles as if brand new.
