What type of automotive grease thats similar to

[nathan]

gun grease in consistency and viscosity ? Right now Im using the Petrolatum Gel (vaseline) for the meantime bec it doesnt have the smell .

Tetra and Hoppe 's grease are good but maybe theres better generic out there for less.

I tried some of this Militec grease sample before and its a great product.

I'm sure Slick 50 would work great... it's got a bunch of PTFE in it... slicker than cow snot on a doorknob.

I'd bet wheel bearing grease would work just fine too, but it stinks a bit.

Most wheel bearing grease is about right. I got some of the synthetic stuff but it may be overkill considering how almost any grease will work fine for guns.

The only guns I use grease on are those that are designed to run on grease like M1s. I found Mobil 1 is great stuff. Never dries up, water doesn't wash it off, and it's about $8 a cartridge at Auto Zone.

I like the Mystic red high temp bearing grease, it doesn't smell too bad.( I kinda like the smell of grease though) Its about 5 bucks a tube at wally world and holds up really well.

Automotive assembly grease with both molybdenum disulfide and graphite is one of my favorites. It works beautifully for getting the very best out of a well tuned revolver.

White lithium works well

White lithium grease. You can get it in tubs, small tubes (my own suggestion) or even in spray cans. Visually and tactilely it is nearly indistinguishable from firearm-specific greases. I would not use wheel bearing grease on firearms as this is very thick and heavy.

Anyone ever try Imperial Action Wax?

Alisyn grease, hard to find, kinda spendy, google Alisyn Lubricants, very very fine lubes.

I suggest "oil for things that rotate and grease for things that slide".

These are the products I recommend:

In my experience these claims are all true.

If you are going to go cheap as possible there are much better places to do it than weapon lube. It represents such a small part of the cost of shooting why not go for the best. That doesn't mean I endorse trying everything that comes down the pike.

If you want to go really cheap and still use a quality product just buy a quart of Mobile 1 20-50 motorcycle oil. It is actually an excellent gun lube. (I think it is called Mobile 1 20-50 VTWIN)
