Powder Finger Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hello: The Redline assemble lube I use is very thin and red in color. If you put it between your fingers in wicks like a spider web. Great stuff! I may try some of there transmission fluid in the light weight. We used to use it on Formula Ford gearboxes with great results. There are alot of great lubes out there for different things besides guns Thanks, Eric no kidding it's like any new to me lube or oil gets bought, tested etc........ guns, fishing reels, anything you could put it on just to see. worse than a woman & her shoes!

flack jacket Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I learned about this lube from the early 90's from my dad. The bottle I have is 18 years old! http://www.prolixlubricant.com/order.html Great to see they are still in business. +1 on Royal Purple 5w/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I use mobil one or amsoil,and for grease I use Lubri-plate engine assembly. In seems to me that gun oils and grease arent what folks expect,I have done some testing in the past and the synthetic motor oil is far better, than any of the advertised gun oils. Use to use Wynn's friction proving mixed with a little stp and military issued engines oils, all we could get at the time. Jim/Pa Sailors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secinv Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Slide Glide is the best and can be purchased by the owner of This BLOG. Slide Glide by Brian Enos. I use it or Break free CLP, as it Cleans, Lubricates and preserves the metal from rust. I used It in the US Army and still is the Best for cleaning firearms.

dlee14 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 After storing my guns for a year, or was it two, I took them out for shooting and inspecting. They were dry as a bone. The oil had evaporated or run into the lower extremities. If you are oiling and using your guns more often than, let's say 6 months or so, then use your choice of oil. However, if you are like me and don't get out often enough, then you might consider the other lubricants such as Slide Glide or Boeshield. Lots of talk about how great Slide Glide is and I am a true believer; just wish I could get the pricing down somehow (hint, hint). The Boeshield is really great stuff and worth a try; it was developed by Boeing for jet engine parts. Good enough for me. It's like a parafin suspended in the aerosol. After cleaning my guns, I lubricate as follows: use aerosol Boeshield on larger surfaces and then Slide Glide on the high friction parts such as slide rails, sear nose, barrel lugs, etc. This formula should be good for my guns that don't get used too much.

gino_aki Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 militec, and mobile 1 synt when i'm out of militec. i find militec work/penetrate and hold better on eated metal. i guess molecules are streching allowing the oil going ''inside'' the metal. i just eat the parts to be lubed till too hot for my skin,then oiling immediatly. Militech mixed with Mobil 1 10w30 in a 1:2 ratio works great on my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcalvert Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Slide glide is the best grease, Gun butter is my favorite oil. I use gun butter when its colder. it seem to really work good and stays put with out slowing the gun down. dcalvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob DuBois Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Mobil 1 5x30 fully synthetic, a quart would last forever for the average shooter. Put in little needle oil bottles purchased from Brownells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If you are going Hi-Tech: http://www.alphatechcoatings.com/Infomation.htm#firearms-- I have used this stuff for years. Works great and is not temperature sensitive http://www.386nanotech.com/ - Dillon sells this stuff. It is amazing how clean you gun will stay. I do a very detailed cleaning and remove all lube etc with Acetone. I use this Nano 386 as per directions. Then I will use the Blue Magic on the rails and sear. The Blue Magic is about 20 bucks which is expensive but I have the same bottle for over five years now. You do not need very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
