What happened to this company ? I’m pretty sure a member here owned it . The stuff works great but now I can’t find the product or the company anywhere.

I don't know about that, but I used to use a product called pro gold; a gold colored grease that worked well when first applied. After sitting in the safe for a time, however, the lubricant turned into glue, and I still have a 1911 that I'm going to have to spend some time with to free up, and probably soak in a solvent tank for a few days to move the slide at all. It turns into glue...turned a bunch of firearms in the safe into bricks and was a pain to remove.

I don't know if the stuff to which you're referring is similar to the pro gold lubricant. It worked well if regularly cleaned and removed, but sitting for a period of time, the firearm might as well have been lubricated with contact cement.

I’m fairly certain they are different companies. I still have a bottle of Hurley’s Gold and quite like how it works.

Hurley’s Gold

They have a FB page but it hasn't been updated since 2017.

The website list for their company page isn't active anymore.

Guess they closed up shop.

I still have some, it’s good stuff. I use it mostly on my .22 pistols.

My quart container of Mil surplus light machine gun oil was getting low, so I decided to make my own. The main ingredients is a quart of Royal Purple 0-20w synthetic motor oil the some ATF fluid. The last <10% is some other oils that come up on the net about ingredients.

I already used at times the Royal Purple oil with ARs, just made it more legit by mixing it up. So far results are positive.

Probably went out of business for the simple reason:

Very few people have gold firearms.
Limited potential customer base.

Are you the manufacturer? If so, I'd be interested in a second bottle.

Found the same result when I went looking for more a while ago. Hope more becomes available.

I also would be interested in getting some

I grabbed two bottles back when he did a special a year or two ago. Still using them on my pistols & occasionally Slap some on a AR bolt.

Good stuff.

Hurley's Gold is good stuff. Fortunately, I'm still on my original bottles.
Hope to see it available in the future, and will monitor this thread!

Not looking to start a fight, but what's so special about this product? There are many excellent lubes on the market.

Meh... pretty much nothing. It was just a product being sold by a member. So some of us supported him.

But it was kinda a consistency between grease & oil. *shrug* Worked on what I put it on. Just like everything else I put on the guns.

I liked it because it didn't dry up so fast like other lubes .

Thanks. I was just curious. I thought that I had tried just about every lube on the market. I missed this product.
