what lubes do you use, and on what guns.

[FlyinBryan]

on my rifles ive been using break free with the little tiny teflon particles

on my pistols, (1911s) just light oil (rem-oil) on everything but the rails and barrel exterior, and wilson ultima grease on the rails.

ive considered using the wilson ultima grease on my ar's too, cuz it seems like break free dissappears after a few magazines.

the wilson grease really seems to stay put.

 

[Steve C]

CLP or Remoil for everything and Gunslick for rails and any place I need lube to stick.

 

[possum]

depends on how hard i am gonna be running the gun that day, normally a light coat of clp for a normal day at the range. but for training courses and insane amounts of rds in a short time then i use lithium based grease.

 

[PPGMD]

I use Militec-1 has my lube for day to day cleaning and lubing. For parts I use a white lithium grease as I reassembly them.

 

[jimmyraythomason]

I use Rem-oil and WD-40 for general lubrication. When a little more slick'em is needed I use a few drops of Hoppe's Gun Oil. I do not use any grease on any of my firearms.

 

[mjrodney]

Ruger 22/45(s), Mark III, 10/22(s)......Ed's Red

Everything else, BreakFree, Hoppe's oil and/or Shooter's Choice grease.

 

[mbott]

Mobil 1 on just about everything, anymore.

Be aware that WD 40 is NOT a lubricant. It is not a rust preventative. It is a water displacing product for use on wet distributors and ignitions. Continued use will build up a gummy sticky residue. Use anything but WD 40.

 

[Mad Magyar]

i use lithium based grease.

I've convinced myself that grease is the way to go. I know all the negatives about grease, especially their attraction to things you don't want; but with my lifestyle: no problem. If I'm back in the military crawling in the dirt, maybe not, but firing, cleaning, carrying, storage: I like it's staying power.

 

[easyg]

CLP for my Glock, CZ, and Polytech.

 

[obiwan1]

I'm an experimenter. Lately it's Eezox with Militec1 grease or Tetragun grease on the slide rails. When i run out of Eezox then I'll try Weapon Shield. I don't have any problems with any of these products, I just like to experiment.

 

[passintime]

I use remoil on my 1911's and my makarov imports.

 

[xsquidgator]

I started using synthetic motor oil a few months back, other than the detergent smell it seems to be working all right. 10W30 or 10W40, I can't remember which exactly. A quart goes for about $3 and change. Much better than $6 for a little squeeze bottle. Oil anywhere that might possibly need some lubing. Breakfree CLP if I'm feeling extravagant.

 

[CountGlockula]

Hoppes #9 to lube all my Glocks.

 

[Gun Slinger]

Synthetic Mobil 1 20w50 (VTWIN).

Has an operating range of -59.8 F to +518 F, Group IV/PAO based and remains throughout the longest, hottest shooting sessions without ever burning off. It is, without question, the best lubricant that I have ever used on my guns. It has an almost greaselike (~NLGI 4) viscosity (it doesn't run or drip) yet remains usable at extremely low temperatures as well.

 

[Black Majik]

Pretty much exclusively CLP for all handguns.

 

[Drail]

CLP for all of them. Exceeds Mil specs.

 

[Ala Dan]

Break Free C-L-P on most everything, except the rails of my
semi-auto's; and for that I prefer Tetra Gun Grease.

FWIW, I do intend on try'in the syntheic 20W-50 Mobil 1 as a lubricant, one
of these days~! Cuz, here lately, our summers have been migthy
HOT and HUMID; with little in way of coolness.

 

[Gun Slinger]

FWIW, I do intend on try'in the syntheic 10W-50 Mobil 1 as a lubricant, one
of these days~! Cuz, here lately, our summers have been migthy
HOT and HUMID; with little in way of coolness

Where did you find M1 in 10w50?

Or was that a typo and you meant 20w50?

 

[Ala Dan]

Oops~! I meant 20W-50, sorry for that typo; and I will change my post~!

*FootNote- Thank You Sir Gun Slinger My Friend, for correcting my oversight~!

 

[Lex]

CLP mostly....maybe a little Tetra on the slide's rails (sparingly).

Figured it was just a typo, however, if M1 synthetic was being made in 10w50 grade, I was gonna have to take a look at it and see what kind of performance it had to offer.

Geez, gettin' all over-excited about new lubricant 'prospects' for my guns makes me think that I have perhaps, a little too much time on my hands.

 

[michiganfan]

Break free and Wilson lube

 

[ChrisMG]

Mobil 1 10w40 (would like to get the heavier stuff but Wal*Mart doesn't carry it here) & BreakFree CLP for lubing/cleaning. Silicone cloth for wiping down.

 

[enfield]

Mobil 1 for lubrication. I use RemOil for rust prevention.
