Can this stuff be used on a Glock???I've emailed them but got no resonse so far......I plan to use it on my Taurus PT99......also could I use it on a revolver???:cool:

[TarpleyG]

It can be used anywhere you would normally put oil. The only downfall that I have seen to using Militec is that for it to function to specs, you have to heat the metal up following the enclosed instructions. I have better things to do that use a hairdryer on my guns everytime I clean them.

I use Militec-1 on my Glocks, my revolvers, and even my rifles. It's pretty slick when you put it on. You really don't need to use a hairdryer. I wouldn't want to do that either. The normal heat from firing the gun will "cure" the Militec. You will notice just how slick Militec-1 actually is after about three lubes.
The cylinders on my revolvers "spin" so easily that the weight of inserting just one new round makes it fall to the six o'clock position.

i got a free sample of it. I'm gonna clean my guns, then next time i go to the range, quickly lube them with miltec before i leave.

[PAshooter]

I bought some, and the instructions that came with mine didn't say anything about applying heat to activate or cure the lube. Haven't tried it yet - still using my old standby (CLP) but I plan to switch over one of these days.

BTW - anyone else have trouble accessing their web page (http://www.militec1.com/)? When I go there I get a screen full of gibberish - mostly boxes and symbols - as though it's calling for a font my machine doesn't understand. Theirs is the only site where I see this kind of thing, so I don't think it's on my end. I'd really like to read about the product...

[Preacherman]

Their Web site works fine for me.

[PAshooter]

Hmmm...

I ended up going to their New Zealand site to find a page that was in "English" :rolleyes:

[Kentucky Rifle]

The site works for me too.
Maybe something is wrong with your machine?? I really don't know too much about "viruses, worms, and Trojan horses", but WOW--did I ever get an advertisement I didn't want! I have NO IDEA how that happened, but I have heard of "things" that get into someone else's address book and then somehow obtains their list of e-mail addresses and uses those addresses to hawk their "products". That should be illegal--or maybe it is, and it's difficult to catch some "perv" sitting behind a computer screen.<shrug>
Sometimes, I even wonder if the anti-gun guys are lurking and making "lists" of what we own. Wow! I sound paranoid. :)

Militec seems to attract dust bunnies for me. It works as well as all the other lubes (FP10, Armalube, Remington, Hoppes and Breakfree) that I have used. YMMV.

[Carlos Cabeza]

I believe the directions for use of "Militec 1" required the user to remove all residual traces of any other lubricant used before the initial application.

[10-Ring]

I've been hooked on Militec since I got my free sample a while back ago. Works well on all my guns.

[JimJD]

What's everyone's favorite method of removing any lube before application of Militec-1?
Just wondering...

[George Hill]

Break Cleaner.

I used this M-1 lube... and to be honest, I am not all that impressed. I like the grease... use it where grease is the option and it's better than typical greases I think, but not as good as Brownell's Action Lube Plus. Of course, it's not a dirtly looking as AL+ either.

[P95Carry]

Used most of my sample bottle and have ordered some more .... something I feel i want to have in my ''lube armory'' now.

[Quickloader]

For removing previous lube and degreasing I use kerosene in a (flower-) trigger sprayer bottle with adjustable nozzle, together with a toothbrush, medium paintbrush, bristle bore brush, followed by blowing out with compressed air or a hairdryer when necessary.

Kerosene and mineral spirits is fine for this application, alcohols are not so well suited.

However, I don't use this procedure any longer before applying Militec, 'coz I don't use this product anymore for gun applications.;)

My samples arrived in the mail today (Monday).

Can't find anything in the instructions about heating it.

Web site works fine for me.

My brother swears by the stuff and he's pickier than me.

[Bravo11]

Another fan of MiliTec here.
I use CLP as a general cleaner/lube and Rem Oil as a wipe down after carry.

From their website -

PREPARATION: To take full advantage of MILITEC-1's unique properties, start with a clean firearm. Although MILITEC-1 contains a mild detergent that will help with subsequent cleaning, there are no solvents or other hazardous materials in MILITEC-1, so it cannot remove old caked-on fouling and build-up from other lubes. Thus, if a firearm is dirty, you must clean it with a solvent before you proceed. Normal fieldstrip cleaning should be perfectly adequate. If possible, remove the handgrips, clean and prepare.

INITIAL TREATMENT: Applying MILITEC-1 to a firearm for the first time is a two-step process: (1) Application and (2) Firing.

STEP ONE: APPLICATION. Now that the firearm is clean and dry, apply a light film of MILITEC-1 to all surfaces, including the bore. Burnish/polish MILITEC-1 into exterior surfaces by rubbing rapidly using a cloth lightly dampened with MILITEC-1. Sparingly apply drops into the action, concentrating on springs, moving parts and metal-to-metal contact areas. If your firearm has a magazine, be sure to apply MILITEC-1 both inside and out. Leave a very light film of MILITEC-1 on all surfaces during reassembly. Now proceed to Step Two.

STEP TWO: FIRING. Once you fire your weapon enough times to reach operating temperatures, the heat and friction will activate MILITEC-1, strengthening the bonding process that was started in Step One. While firing, MILITEC-1 creates a self-lubricating, water-repelling, dry compound within the gunmetal.

Additional Application Instructions: If Step Two is not immediately possible, consider applying low heat to the firearm to facilitate the bonding process until you can perform Step Two. In field conditions, place your lubed firearm in the sun underneath black plastic or a similar ventilated heat source for at least two hours. Alternatively, you may use a heat gun, hairdryer, burnishing or polishing tool to heat the gunmetal. In heat controlled environments, do not exceed 150° F (65° C). In all applications that require heat to condition the firearm, always insure proper ventilation and wear protective clothing. Please consult our MSDS for additional information.

Miltec for all my firearms. Including Glocks.

[TonyB]

How long after applying it can you wait to "heat it up" by shooting it?Like that day(couple of hours) or should it be sooner??:cool:

[ceetee]

After applying Miltec to my 686 and my CZ, I just cased both handguns, and left them in my car on a hot sunny day while I was at work. It seemed to help, and no mucking around with heat guns...

[bountyhunter]

The Militec liquid is slicker than anything else. I experimented with trigger pulls applying various lubes to the sear and Militec wins by a fair amount even over FP-10 and Blue Wonder. I use the Militec liquid to mix into a grease to hold it in place. It mixes perfectly with any grease I've tried including: Slide Glide, Wilson Ultima, Brownells Action Lube, and Militec grease also.

I have never heat cured the stuff, I don't think it is necessary. I have noticed that running the bore with it makes it eaiser to clean afterwards.

[Scarface]

An easy way to apply, if you're not range bound immediately, is to apply the Militec and put the weapon in the oven and heat it at 150 degrees for 2 hours, then wipe off any residue.

This stuff is so slick, it makes my Russian Makarov seem like an East German Mak. The machining marks are clearly visible on my Russian, but the action is smooth as a Sig.

Be well,

Scarface

[kernal_panic]

even if militec made the best gun lube in the world i wouldn't give a dime to those low life ghouls.

I perfer FP-10 but i have no problem using breakfree's product. Also tw-25b works great too its just expensive. i even use the old 70's LSA lube especially as a presevative and on my millsurps.

Uh, would you care to elaborate on this? In an objective fashion?

[forquidder]

Sven,

This thread may give you some insight into some peoples' opinion on Militec.
