Alternative Greases for Bolt Actions- What have you used/Avoid?

[1775usmarine]

I use Permatex Anti Seize on my Marlin 80 bolt. Used it for 2yrs before cleaning and had probably 1.5k through it from youth shoots and my own shooting habits. I know at the first youth shoot I had no issues at approx 700 rounds while my 10/22 started to have issues around 400 with plain old mil surp CLP.

In all fairness... Hard to compare a bolt gun with a semi.

If I had 2 of the exact same guns, I'd be tempted to do a test where I'd detail strip, clean, and then reassemble 2 10/22 rifles (and mags), lube them appropriately, and then just see how many rounds it took for one lubed with Brand A to suffer, and how many rounds for rifle lubed with Brand B to suffer.

I use Lubiplate on anything that slides. M1, M1A, 1911, and the rails on my Sigs

+1 for Lubriplate 105 (Engine Assembly Grease).

We use the stuff to build every Cummins engine tested. Works well on my bolt guns and AR alike.

Ive found Superlube synthetic grease to be an excellent lube for firearms as well. It sticks to whatever you put it on and wont run even when it warms up. Ive used it on all action types and its always served me well. Its even food grade so if you want to lick your weapon it wont make you sick.

This has been helpful. Good to see what everyone is able to save on! Save on grese, buy more ammo!

I use Mil-Comm products. TW-25B or MC 3000. TW-25B is more of a grease, and MC 3000 is somewhat liquid. Expensive, but worth it.
