which brand lubrication are you using ?

[3gunwoody]

Same thing Ballistol

[Mturnbull333]

I've used about everything and just started using slide glide and I gotta say I love it, stays where you put it which is the number one prioritie.

[thekid75134]

I just use whatever I have laying around

[rc51g]

I really like a mix of slide glide and light weight mobil 1. but my gun is on the loose side.

I recently switched to Rand CLP from an FP-10 and grease combo. Been liking the results so far. Just have to see how it does during the winter months.

[mitchiepinoy]

Militec 1 all the way

[HI5-O]

Was using FP10 (worked fine) then went to try something thicker (Kellube) to keep the lens free of splatter but it was too thick to use on a tight gun and in cold weather.

Will now use Brownells Friction Defense.

and where do you shoot?

[Iceman2733]

For the people using frog lube how tight is the gujln you using it on? I have wanted to go to using it on my open gun but a little nervous about using it on a tight gun. I just get tired of wiping oil off of me and the gun lol <br />Sent From Mobile Land<br />

Shot the Open Nationals in St. George, UT couple weeks ago and will be heading to Area 2 next. Those 06:50 a.m. starts will be freezing...for me

I use the orange bottle of hopes, been using it for years, its a very light oil and I apply it pre match, because it will not stay too long, like some of the thicker oils.

i would like to amend what i said earlier. i in no way meant to imply the matt mclearn built a loose open gun. in fact mine was the opposite. it was like a vault. but it was used and it was my first open gun. it was a DIY thing. i would definitely buy one of his again.

[mike g35]

FP-10. Ran my gun through 2 practices, shot new loads over a chrono, and shot 3 matches before cleaning it and it just kept going and going. Not sure if it was the lube or just the gun but something was working well so I'm not gonna switch.

[joer]

I use whatever my gf has laying around - hopefully it is not the water based stuff....

[rc51g]

I have been waiting on that comment.

[Feralshooter]

I just gave up froglube. It is fantastic for cleaning and works well as a lube, but not for long enough. After about 150 rounds I was getting jams in my SP-01.

I am giving slide glide with Wilson combat oil a go now. G96 for the non critical areas cause it works well and my wife LOVES the smell.

I think froglube would be excellent in an AR type rifle FWIW.

I'm using BreakFree CLP with Teflon.

I worked at a Military Base that was disposing of it and was able to dispose of over 4 gallons at the time. They had changed to the CLP without the Teflon.

I've given away a fair bit of it to friends.

Another one that I like is Friction Defence from Brownells.

Now my gun leaks instead of my Harley...

I know that feeling, oh so well.

[Mturnbull333]

I posted on this last month had been using slide glide and loving it, then it got cold, and no beuno!

[kirbinster]

I like Ballistol, it cleans and lubes - but how does it know which to do

Heck if its good enough for Hickok45 its good enough for me!

[Mturnbull333]

JJ Racaza recommend that I try archoil so I'm gonna give it a shot and see how it works.

[dcalvert]

Gun Butter is my go to oil.

Works in our 110 degree heat in the summer and cool desert mornings in the winter.

Use in my super tight Kodiak Open guns, limited and my SP01 Shadow. Great stuff.

Slide Glide Lite on the slide rails, FP10 everywhere else. Brownells Friction Defense works well too in place of FP10.
