Lubricant

[TLHelmer]

What kind of lubricant do you guys use. I recently switched to Shooters Choice grease from the Breakfree CLP I used for years. I like it, but it is hard to find locally. Is anyone else using a grease?

i prefer grease because it doesn't evaporate. It is harder to clean, but works longer. I am open to your thoughts.

A very wise man told me to use Permatex Engine Assembly Lube. It is seriously slick.

 

[TLHelmer]

I will look it up! Thanks for your response.

Which version do you use? There were quite a few listed.

I mix Lubriplate (White Grease) and BreK Free CLP 75%/25%. I formulated this years ago for an AMT Stainless 1911 to keep it from Galling. Works Good I'm still Shooting that AMT. I like Lucas Gun Oil for the Oiled Parts.

10W40 for oil, Lucas Oil Red N' Tacky #2 for grease.

Me too, but then I heard CM say the same thing, so I wasn't sure.

I like Wilson Combat grease and oils myself

I am going to pick up some of this .....

At the very least, this product shouldn't be in short supply... Liberal Tears Gun Lube (CLP) - Liberal Tears Gun Oil

I've been using Lucas Oil brand gun oil for my lever and bolt rifles and pump shotgun and this for my stainless autoloader pistol - https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Stainless-Steel-Ounce/dp/B0033CRQDQ

I use Lucas Gun Oil. No problems. A little goes a long way I've found.

Tetra Grease and lubricant. Wilson Universal lube. Mil-Comm tw25b

Yep. That stuff is great. I dab a tiny bit on a q-tip and very lightly coat the contact points. Can usually lube 3-4 pistols with that one dab.

Slip 2000 EWL, Slip 2000 30wt, and Slip 2000 EWG

Yea, he usually isn't any help at all but he got it right this time. Maybe it was an accident?

Permatex Ultra Slick 81950 - Engine Assembly Lube | O'Reilly Auto Parts

This is the one I have. I didn't know there were any others!

Whatever is in my garage.

Right now it's Aero Kroil for cleaning. Lucus 20W50 or spray white grease for lube.

Teflon oils are nice. Does not matter what you use.

I am old fashioned and still use Hoppe's gun grease. In spite of what you will read on the web; after 30 years I have had no issues, and all of my guns run just fine. I suspect guns are pretty tolerant of what lube you use so long as you use something and do so in a reasonable way.
