What gun lube do you use? - Page 2

BillArkansas · April 28th, 2009, 08:14 AM

Militec-1 grease and lube.

Also, or members of Military they will send product for free to those folks in field.

This product designed for dry conditions, i.e. like those conditions at Iraq or Afghanistan. Not designed for Vietnam conditions.

Why not allow Militec company to compete for govt contracts?

I am not affiliated with Miltec in anyway other than as a customer.

I do appreciate their unconditional support of our troops.

I'm not familiar with TW25b. What is it?

By the way, I love the H&K "Squeeze-Cocker." I have wanted one of those for years.

Weapon shield oil and Lubriplate white all purpose grease.

Sometimes even a little sewing machine oil. Thin and high quality.

I have only used shooters choice (sample)it was in the case when I purchased the Kimber since then I have used Gunslick Ultra-lube.

I purchased a new gun cleaning kit and went with the Gunslick brand I really like the product.

Castrol Syntech;

I have been using this stuff ever since it came out back in the 90s, when I was shooting a lot of IPSC and 3-gun matches; Basically you have to think of a gun, especially a semi-auto, like an engine. You want the lube to be thick enough to stay put and do its job, but you also want it to have a detergent quality to it so it doesn't gum up the action, especially when you are running and gunning through a 50 round field course, or god forbid, a real fight.

I know some guys nowadays use Mobil 1, which is just as good, I guess but the thing I like about it is you can buy a quart for about 5 bucks and it will last you for several years if you shoot once or twice a month. I know when shot every weekend, I would go through a quart of Syntech every 2 years......
