Lubricant

[Doublehelix]

I use Ballistol for cleaning, and Weapon Shield for lube. (I have also used Slip 2000 and Hoppe's #9 with great success.)

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

CM is absolutely correct.

I was using lucas gun oil(the red stuff), I bought it at pep boys, they also sell it at rural king, and I use lucas extreme gun grease(we sell it at the shop I work at) but a friend gave me a bottle of lucas extreme oil (the blue green stuff) and its now my oil of choice!

they aren't cheap, the grease is 17.00 a tube (1 oz I think) and the extreme oil should be about 18.00 for a 8 oz bottle but as slick as that stuff is, both should last a long time!

op since you live in eville, if you are interested on the grease pm me, and i'll tell you where I work if you want the lucas grease (we aren't a site supporter so I don't want to give out the shop name)

I like the engine assembly lube idea. I'm currently using Slip products.

Not that this one is a lubricant, but I wanted to put in a very strong recommendation for Birchwood Casey's Barricade.
I've been using this product since the 1980s, when it was called Sheath.
It's molybdenum disulfide in a spray can that serves as an excellent rust preventative.
I have yet to find anything that measures up to its effectiveness.

Thanks again guys!

Everyone should continue or start using the Permatex products. That way my 401K plan will continue to grow.

I work for an ITW company too.

Liberty Lube. Good stuff!

Liberal tears are flowing freely, try some of them?

I use any available oil. Sewing machine oil on triggers but you need to remove the excess.Grease picks up too much dirt.

Good old fashioned CLP. Hasn't let me down yet.

Lithium grease, like the kind used for joints in your vehicle. You can find this just about anywhere. Good for a wide temperature range and stays where you put it. Don't spend extra on "special" grease.

I am using CLP. My sons tell me it was issued to them in the Army and the Marines. That is a very strong recommendation.

 

[hps]

I'm kinda a lube/cleaning product queer (sorry if I offended anyone). I bought a bottle of the Permatex some of you have mentioned. This stuff stays where you put it!!

Looking forward to testing this stuff at a shooting event.

I recently switched from Mil-comm to Weapon Shield. I am really impressed so far. It seams to perform as well or better, and is considerably cheaper than most other gun lubes. I believe it is lithium based because after blowing off the gun with some brake leaner there is usually some white tell tale residue.

I saw the title to this thread and thought we would be having an adult conversation....I am so disappointed.

Anyway, for guns, I am a Weapon Shield fan myself. Lube works great and it seems to me that carbon deposits come off much easier when using it.

To be honest I thought that this thread would take a turn for the worse given this crowd! ;-)

I was going to suggest gun oil. I googled that one time when looking for some small storage bottles for my range bag. Let's just say I didn't know but now I do.

I didn't see anyone mention M-Pro 7. My 1911s love that stuff. It's the perfect viscosity and it's a CLP.
