Lubricants 😵‍💫

[Racewin]

I like Slip2000 EWL, but admittedly it can gum up when left alone. I also like M-Pro7 and Militec-1.

I use 10W30 to lubricate, protect and rustproof and a never-ending jar of grease from a trailer wheel bearing job eons ago.

Me too, lasts forever. No need to spend money on fancy overpriced gun lubes

I was sucked into the frog lube and had to convert all my guns back…what a mistake that was.

I caught the Frog Lube sales guy running a con at the Mesa Gun Show years ago. He stopped Mrs. Flash and told her how the lube was so slippery even she could rack a 1911 with ease. He gave it to her and sure enough, she racked it easily.

So I grabbed it, racked it and very loudly told the guy he should be ashamed of himself for putting a low power recoil spring in the gun.

He was speechless and that's the last time I saw him at the show.

I watched a video on School of American Rifle. The instructor uses a blend of synthetic motor oil and synthetic grease mix the two to get a thickness like honey. I pretty sure you can lube your pistol with it. I lube my AR & pistol. No issues.

Geesch, I thought you guys ripped out the living Goddamned guts of your enemies to grease your guns???

No, we use their guts to grease the treads of our tanks.

Depending on weapon and location.
Snake oil
FP-10
LUCAS
Slide glide grease.

Listed from thinnest to thick.

Those work for me.

UN-salted butter now, in the 'winter'.....
Pure lard in the summer.

Well, since we are being brutally honest,

Buttcheese in the Summer, Liberal tears in the winter.

**Buttcheese in the Summer,

*** Liberal tears in the winter.

** Sounds quite appropriate, consider the temperature and viscosity conditions of the average arse.

***Also agree. They flow FAR, far to readily, indicating minimal viscosity, and unlikely to congeal into a paste, or grease, and impede cold-weather function.

Hey, I resemble that remark ,dammit!

 

[brandonsmash]

LMAO. Here is something I found a few winters ago.... Frog lube on any gun with tight tolerances sucks in cold weather. CZ and 2011 wouldn't run well with it. Switched to Lucas and all good.

I used to swear by Frog Lube. Then I let some of my guns lubricated with it go a while without use and it gummed up terribly. I've been in the process of cleaning them all and re-lubricating with Ballistol.

I'm kind of wondering if ATF (the transmission fluid, not the government agency) wouldn't be a good slide lubricant, though.
