Hello,
I'm trying to find an excellent lube/metal conditioner that will stick to bolts on my rifles much better than traditional grease.
I keep coming across an astounding number of products, mostly what I'd consider overpriced.
Militec-1 is one example. Supposedly folks in the sandbox are ordering it by the metric buttload but the DoD says NOT to use it (big ol' long PDF file on that one!)
I use cleaner to clean. I'm not looking for a CLP... Breakfree CLP is excellent for getting your rifle going again (I used it in Appleseed, anyway, to keep a 10/22 from puking), but I prefer to clean and then use a metal conditioner that impregnates itself to metal and won't leave. I hate working dry bolts!
Regular oil isn't cutting it. The rifle heats and it migrates to parts unknown.
What do you folks use?
Thanks,
Josh
