[Big 3 East] Geissele's New Spring and Go Juice
Down at the Big 3 East Media event, Geissele showed us their new Purple Go Juice. The Go Juice is purple since it will be under the ALG Defense brand. The Go Juice is a bio synthetic lubricant made from GMO seeds specially made to produce this oil. The reasoning behind making their own lubricant was due to Bill Geissele and his immaculate M1 Garand. He had used a vegetable based lubricant and after 6 months sitting in his safe, the lubricant failed to work on the M1. Joe of Geissele said that while petroleum based lubricants are very stable for long term storage, they do not work as well as vegetable based lubricants. So Bill looked into making a stable vegetable based lubricant. It took 7 months to find the right lab that could manufacture the GMO seed used to produce the oil. They have not performed serious heat tests but performs well at 0-20 deg F. No Arctic sub zero temps nor high heat temp tests done. Joe said that flashpoint temperature tests are misleading since the weapon will not get that hot. Go Juice will be available in about 8-10 weeks. They will be sold in 4 oz bottles for $11.50. Well under the pricing for other vegetable based lubricants in similar sizes. Joe said this oil works very well on moving parts. I asked if that applies to pistol slides. He said he recommends a grease since the grease will stay where it is applied. The Go Juice is very viscous and has 200% more lubricity compared to petroleum based lubricants.
