Lubricants

[Raoul]

I've used rem-oil with teflon for a long while and I was considereing an alternative. I've got a couple of buddies in the NG and they like Militec-1.

Any body use this one? Also what other lubes should I consider?

I use CLP and really like it. I tried using some of the Jig-A-Loo dry spray lube and seemed to work really well until my last range visit. It had been a month or so since I had last used the spray and at the range I noticed what seemed to be tiny white particles everywhere. When i would shoot I would get a blast of smoke/gas, as usually, and then a dusting of this white stuff. It appears as if it particulated and just made a mess. I would stick with CLP, Militec-1, or Rem Oil.

I use the Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube Grease and Oil. CLP & Shooters Choice FP-10 are also in my kit.

On my Garands and M1A I use the plastilube or lubriplate GI stuff.

[Guest pharmtecher]

I use coastal uniplex because it was the first high-temp grease I saw when going in autozone. I have pounds of it.

This thread is not what I thought it was going to be.

That said, Gun Cleaner - Gun Lubricant - Clenzoil: Field & Range is what Jeff Walle suggests. Smells awful nice too, actually.

[Guest joeharris]

One should be really careful using any type of automotive lubricant's, some use Motor-Oil and some types will ruin a good blue job!

At least so i Hear!

Well I didn't say what I was using it on.....

[Okey]

I use Pennzoil 15w-40.

Okey

[Guest Todd@CIS]

Most everything out there will work fine.

If I had to name the best? Slip2000 and WeaponShield (both are CLPs).

I do use aerosol RemOil sometimes for those harder to reach areas that require a fine mist (think AR locking lugs). Not required, but it makes it easier.

[TripleDigitRide]

As far as a lube goes, I have used nothing but Militec-1 for quite a while.

I know there are many other options people use, but with the results I've seen with my personal firearms, I have no desire to change what I'm using.

I have used MilTec for six years. We also use Break free. I was talking to the

Drill Sergeants and another new player here is the CLP from Otis Cleaning Systems.

It is pretty sandy here on the ranges at Ft. Jackson and they stated it is their new favorite.

I've heard great things about Gunzilla but I have never tried it out myself.

Raoul:

Got a pretty good buddy in the custom gunsmith business. I asked the same question one time when i visited. His answer: "Buy anything that is on sale at Brownells or any other good gun supply outlet." Bottom line; they are all good. I like the moisture displacing lubes like CLP and SHEATH. I buy CLP Breakfree in the big bottle when it goes on sale at Midway. Also use Balistoil (Its a vegetable based water soluble oil) on black powder pistols; then finish off with CLP Breakfree. Also got some Tetralube grease laying around.

PS -- I'm satisfied that anything that a gunmaker or the military likes is good.

Hope this helps,

LEROY

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. That's what makes this forum great.

Mobil 1 Synthetic applied with a Q-tip after cleaning with non-chlorinated brake cleaner.

[Guest ArmyVeteran37214]

I have some CLP in my cleaning kit from my army days, but has anyone used Lucas Gun Oil : Lucas Oil ?

[Guest dizzielizzie]

Anyone know where in central tn, south of nashville, where to get some of the above mentioned products?

I like the looks of the kits Otis has. How do those flexible cleaning rods work?

[THE COOP]

I've been doing a lot of research on gun lubricants specifically for alloy frames and steel slides like my SIG's and a lot of top rated armorers recommend a very light grease like Slide Glide, I ordered some today so I'll post a range report in the future on how well it works.... COOP

[Guest m&pc9]

I picked up some Lucas gun oil today. I think it will work well. I put shooter lube grease on the slide and rails and used the oil on the other moving parts.

[Guest mikedwood]

I'm liking Miltec now that I learned how to properly apply it. It made my M4 run smooth.

[Guest m&pc9]

Dont use this on your weapon.

[TnShooter83]

I used to use CPL on all my stuff.

But I recently loaned my brother my Sigma.

(He sold his to pay medical bills for his new baby boy)

He is not allowed to carry in his work, and left it in his truck at work.

When I got it back the CPL was all gummy like?

Looked like coffee stains on the barrel lug and hood.

Weird....?
