Lubes ( An endorsement)

Tuner, if that's the same stuff I'm thinking of, it was designed for the aircraft industry. I was hoping to beat him to the market with it! :)

I've been testing a new grease also and it sure sounds the same from your description. If it's the same stuff, it's definately an amazing lube alright.
 
How well does it work on older auto-loading rifles that have a lot of contact surface? My SKS likes grease, but cruds up quick from the cheapo ammo. This stuff sounds great. Has anyone tried the baking-on approach? If it locks itself in after a couple of applications without baking, that's a plus, but I'd be interested in knowing what it does when you bake it. Just for giggles :evil:
 
this is the best quality you can buy$

i like all the better lubes on the market...clp br free,MILITEC is a real good one,and a couple more that you see every time you shop. all great,especially the militec imo.after taking the advice of an engineer relative of mine,that i know for a fact that he is great at what he does,i tried his recomendation and am now rethinking the bucks i spend on these little bottles of specialty oils...AMSOIL ,there are no negatives...its the best synthetic(and thats pure 100% synthetic) oil in the country.for that matter ,mobil 1 would work but its not a pure ,100% synthetic like you might think.they are able to say they are, but they are not.AMSOIL is. google it,you'll be glad you did. guns,cars,machines,knives,its amazing.you get a relatively large quantity for a good price.they have different grades for any application. im sold,and my guns never looked/worked as good...

The quick version is, use oil on rotating parts, use grease on sliding parts.

1911Tuner wrote a pretty detailed piece about lubricants in the last year or so, a search should turn it up.
 
Any news on the goo? I'm hoping it will be available for trials by us non-1911 Tuner types very soon.

Dave? Tuner?
 
My less-than-scientific cold weather testing so far has been to put some in the freezer. It thickened slightly but since it's a very light grease, it was still thinner than other gun greases are at room temperature. I had one tester shoot in freezing weather and he had no malfunctions.

Still, it's petroleum based so it will thicken as it gets colder. I would probably choose something more suitable for cold temps if I was planning on carrying or hunting in freezing weather.
 
Sounds good. My new sig likes a light greasing on the rails with a little oil floater. Sounds like some good stuff
 
I have a question about this stuff. It sounds great and must be slicker than snot on a doorknob, but I'm concerned about it NOT coming off. I know the question was posed about removing it for refinishing purposes, but my concern is a tad different.

Have you noticed any carbon fouling when it doesn't come off. Does the layer that stays on hold carbon or grit?

It'll come off with any good solvent, or even rubbing alcohol and a little effort. It just won't come off by dry wiping it...and any oil or grease will hold carbon and grit.
 
I've got the stuff in bulk but I haven't had a chance to put it into individual containers. Life has been a little crazy for the last couple of months but I'll try to get the lube ready soon.
 
After having used many lubes starting with machine and 3 in 1 oil in the 40s I have concluded that Mobile 1 is as good as anything, and better than most.

I have read the claims of manufacturers, but have not found anything better than Mobile 1. Currently I do have some FP10 and it is a good lube, but when it runs out I will stay with Mobile 1

If I remember correctly, Richard Heinie once said that after the break in period he uses Mobile 1.

Jerry

You ain't tried Berryhill's Double Throwdown Super Goop yet.

I've been to forty-three rat killins', three chicken pluckins', five county watermelon roasts, and an all-night goat milkin', and the stuff beats anything I've ever seen, heard tell of, or stepped in.
 
One more BTT with this. I've been fine with dry lube and a touch of tetra grease where needed so far. It seems like when I'm shooting it's either dusty or real cold. So oil type lubes haven't worked for me.

But now I'm wondering.........
