POLL: What kind of gun lube do you use?

[Full Metal Jacket]

i use wilson ultimate grease for the 1911's, and tetra white oil for the glocks


i voted for wilson, because that stuff's pretty impressive.

 

[REAPER4206969]

BreakFree CLP.

What oil to use

I use Rem Oil because that is what I have. I'm very new to hand guns and have a Star PD .45 a Charter Arms 38 special undercover a High Point C9 a High Point 40 and a Phoenix 22 hp22a. Which gun oil should I use? Are there certain lubes for particular guns? Revolvers vs. autoloaders?

 

[Full Metal Jacket]

BreakFree CLP.

i might give that a try for my glocks. i've been using hoppe's 9 for the bore cleaning, and tetra oil for the lube. using one product for both would be good, but i've been using those for years, and i don't like change lol

 

[ironcode]

Breakfree, but for some purposes I use a grease as well (Berry Hill's Ultimate Gun Lube, discussed here some time ago).

By the way, I only use it for lubrication. For cleaning, I use Pro Shot copper solvent.

 

[The Sarge]

Mobile is a town in Alabama. I believe you mean Mobil1.

 

[sniper5]

Breakfree most of the time but for interiors of bolts and revolvers I use gunslick graphite grease.

 

[Sapper771]

Militec synthetic and TW25B grease.

Gibbs

This is all our agency has used for over 10 years now. Great product that has eliminated all rust issues. Can be used as both a cleaner and lubricant.

Also a great company, last year, I deployed to Afghanistan with an Army (NG) MTT Team. Gibbs sent us their product to take with us.

I have used RemOil, Hoppes and BreakFree but for the past year or so I've been mostly using the RemOil. I like the way it feels when it dries on the gun and leaves a Teflon coating.

Marvel Mystery Oil
Rem Oil
Breakfree
Depends on what I have and what I can find. Haven't had any problems yet living the last 15 years in salt air places.

 

[ForumSurfer]

RemOil on all m handguns. It works and nothing is rusty, so I see no need to try anything more expensive. Being able to grab some at walmart is a plus, too.

 

[doc2rn]

Mr. Berryhills wonder lube!

 

[gbw]

Mobil 1. 15-50 for wipedown, 0-40 for lubrication. (I may have the exact viscosities wrong, but close). Quart lasts forever.

Many years on the Gulf Coast. Excellent lube and it's the best rust resistor I've found and I've tried about everything. White Lithium grease for bolts etc.

 

[Walkalong]

Some I like, in no particular order.

Slide Glide Any where you want grease.

Berryhills- discontinued best I can tell. Anywhere you want grease.

Slip 2000 They also have an EWL oil now Extreme Weather Lubricant. Haven't tried it. Should be good stuff. Original is great on AR's.

M-Pro 7 I have been using it on revolvers.

Gun Butter I have been using it on auto's.

Royal Purple I am using it on my LNL and it makes it slicker than anything else I have tried on it. Tried it on the AR, and it worked well, but not better than Slip 2000. Going to try it on an auto next.

 

[SSN Vet]

Breakfree CLP on all moving parts with the exception of RIG+P on my stainless 1911 slide.

 

[The Bushmaster]

And I have to be the odd ball here.

For internal moving parts, preservation and general oiling. Dextron IV.

For semi-auto slide rails. Artilery Red Grease (Milspec).

 

[griff383]

I used hoppes and remoil for years until a friend introduced me to Weapon Shield. That stuff is awesome, your supposed to be able to use it for everything. After time it builds up a "coating" of some sort and your weapon gets easier to clean the more you use it. I still use hoppes for the bore and put a coat of remoil on some exterior parts, old habbits die hard I guess.

 

[HGUNHNTR]

Slip2000 or FP10. Tried and passed on Breakfree, migrated a lot, and did not do as good a job "c'ing" "l'ing" or "p'ing" as products designed specifically for those tasks. I see it as bottled comprimise.

 

[ScratchnDent]

Depending on application:
SuperLube grease
Synthetic motor oil
BreakFree CLP
ATF

 

[pointman1966]

I use the new Castrol Synthetic motor oil, 5 w 30 ...If its good enough for car engines it must be alright for rifles and pistols.

 

[shooterIII]

Militec-1

 

[DasFriek]

I had to put "Other" as i use several types of lube just on one gun and that can one lube to another brand if i run out.
But here is my basic breakdown of my lube routine.

1. After any solvents are done being used i use CLP to wipe the whole gun down.
2. All internals that can be lubed get either Mobil1, Wilson Ultima Lube, or MILITEC-1.
3. Slide rails,barrel lugs and bushings get either White Lithium grease or White Grease with Teflon added.

Ive yet to find a gun that runs better dry than wet, But im sure some people have found some.

Maybe not these are totally different mechanical systems operating at different temps, with different tolerances. Pound for pound your firearm is worth much more than an engine anyway. Gasoline is good enough for car engines but I wouldn't put it in my cereal.

 

[Prion]

Wilson's oil, universal, and grease in varying combos depending on temperature.
