Seems like this lubricant has taken on almost mythic proportions, almost like BreakFree did when it was in its heyday. But I've gone through past threads and posts and seen mostly passing statements about it.
How does MILITEC-1 compare to other gun lubricants on the market? Is it suitable only for lubrication, or can it be used also for cleaning? How well does it prevent leading and is there anything out there better? And how about the price? Twenty-five dollars for 16 ozs. seems a tad high, though buying it in bulk it can be had for as little as $13.
There also used to be varying "grades," but this seems like it was mostly hype. Now there's just one grade.
Finally, how good is the grease? Can one generally get by with just the lube without the grease?
Thanks!
Oh...one more thing. I almost forgot. What's with all the political stuff about being invited and univited to the 2007 Infantry Warfighting Conference? There seems to be an ongoing fued with the government.
MILITEC-1 treated weapons have been tested and proven to be more accurate, deliver higher muzzle velocity with the same load, and show decreased wear at all critical wear points. Also, the weapons subjectively "feel" better in blind tests.
MILITEC-1 has a very low evaporation rate and will not dry out and "disappear" like MilSpec CLP. Firearms remain properly lubricated for a much longer period of time. In fact, MILITEC-1-treated firearms can even be taken out of extended storage and fired immediately with no additional care. It seems to be an unfortunate but unavoidable fact of life that the proper care of weapons is sometimes ignored. MILITEC-1’s long-term lubricating potential helps guard against this eventuality and will allow even badly neglected weapons to fire without jamming. After proper application with MILITEC-1 insures that a weapon will fire properly first time, every time.
MILITEC-1 makes firearms much easier to clean. Since MILITEC-1 seals metal surfaces, fouling and other residue do not build up as quickly. In most cases, a weapon can simply be wiped clean with little effort. This saves a lot of time and frustration and makes cleaning almost fun.
MILITEC-1 is ideal for firearms that are exposed to harsh weather conditions. After proper application, a light coat of MILITEC-1 is highly corrosion resistant—approximately three times more effective in preventing rust than MilSpec CLP. This will cut down on damage caused by damp weather, and makes MILITEC-1 especially useful for firearms carried on motorcycles, bicycles or boats.
