what lubes do you use, and on what guns?

I've been a big fan of Break-Free CLP on most of my guns, and Pro-Shot grease on my M1 Garand.

Ed's Red oil (not solvent), which consists of 50/50 automatic transmission fluid and kerosene seems to work quite well as a lubricant as well. It stinks to high heaven, but it works.
 
Hoppes and rem-oil to clean, graphite grease to lube.

I would add that I use very, very little graphite grease. The same small tube has lasted for a few years now, because just a very thin coat is all that's required. Some of my guns, like my revolvers, are for all practical purposes shot dry, with any lubrication being a by-product of the cleaning agents.

I also keep a small tube of loc-tite in my gun-cleaning box, and one day I came very close to loc-titing one of my autos as oppposed to lubing it. Stupid tubes are the same, but luckily the loc-tite tube is blue and I realized that before I absent-mindedly did something stupid.
 
I bought a can of Rem-Oil and found it to work really well.

Before, I had a really cheap gun-oil that came in a cleaning kit..

I noticed that rem-oil made cycling the action on ALL of my guns somewhat easier and smoother... Especially on the AR.

What kind of good greases would you guys reccomend for:
Bolt-Action (mil-surp, Mosin4Life!)
Semi-auto (AR and my .22)

I got the oil, and some thick grease that came in some swedish surplus cleaning kits... But I'm seeking the maximum life out of my guns.
 
Everything I have gets Wilson Combat Moly grease. Rem oil was to light and would basicly drip off while in the safe.
