APEX started life in the West Texas oilfield, where lubricants either survive heat, friction, and grit — or equipment fails. Vendetta Chemical Solutions adapted that industrial chemistry for firearms, and the result is a gun oil that won't burn off a hot bolt carrier, won't corrode copper or brass components, and won't evaporate out of your safe queen between range trips.
Built for AR-15s, Pistols & Suppressed Rifles
AR-15 & suppressed rifles: Bolt carrier groups running suppressed generate the kind of heat that cooks off ordinary gun oil. APEX's 328°F flash point (ASTM D92) keeps lubrication on the BCG, cam pin, and charging handle when the steel gets hot.
Pistols: A few drops on slide rails, the barrel hood, and locking lugs keep semi-autos cycling smoothly through high round counts without the gumming that thicker greases can cause.
Precision rifles & storage: Ultra-low evaporation means the oil you apply today is still protecting bolt lugs and action rails months later — in the safe or in the field.
Why We Carry APEX
APEX lubricant has yielded the best performance consistently compared to all of the brands we have tried. In the hot summers of Lake Havasu, or during the monsoon rain I know the oil is going to perform on the range and protect my firearms. Clean up since using APEX has been a breeze without needing to scrub like before.
APEX vs. Conventional Gun Oils
Most consumer gun oils start flashing off or evaporating well below suppressed-fire temperatures, which means re-lubing mid-session or running dry without knowing it. APEX's oilfield-derived base oil holds to 328°F and has very low volatility — it stays where you put it. It's also copper-safe (ASTM D130, 1b rating), so it won't corrode brass or bronze components the way some aggressive formulas can.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is APEX gun oil safe for suppressed rifles?
Yes. APEX has a 328°F flash point tested to ASTM D92, so it holds up on bolt carrier groups and actions running hot under suppressed fire.
Will APEX harm brass or copper parts?
No. APEX passes ASTM D130 copper corrosion testing at a 1b rating, meaning it's safe on brass and bronze components.
How often should I reapply APEX?
APEX has very low evaporation, so it stays on contact surfaces between range sessions and during storage. Reapply after cleaning or heavy round counts.
Who makes APEX?
APEX is made by Vendetta Outdoors, a brand of Vendetta Chemical Solutions LLC of Midland, Texas, with a background in oilfield lubricant chemistry.
