ranger Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I am looking for a "dry lube" to lubricate a Beretta M9 and Ar15. Any suggestions? Where can I purchase? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Only thing I can think of is "Mag Slick" type products which spray on wet and evaporate to leave a dry film. The makers of FP-10 claim you can rub it on and wipe it dry and it leaves a magical layer of film protection at the molecular level. But, I ain't trading my cow for those magic beans.

EricW Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 There's a bunch of different products on the market that all *seem* to be based on dissolving paraffin wax in a solvent carrier. Each is its own special witches brew that is superior to all others. Eezox, Boeshield, Strike-Hold, Militec, all seem to be variations on the same principle, each with users willing to wage holy war on the infidel users of other lubricants. Personally, I'd go with the Boeshield just because it doesn't feel like I'm mailing blood money to the Taliban. I got an email from a guy competing in the Year Long 3-Gun Match and he swears by the Strike-Hold. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 If you head to Militec.com, you can request a free sample to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I've got a buddy who is using TW25B grease on his beretta and M4 in Iraq right now. It's not a dry lube, but you can use just a tiny amount and get good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 I bought some Remington DriLube aerosol today for a trial. Anyone use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I bought some Remington DriLube aerosol today for a trial. Anyone use it? We (a buddy and I) tried it on a couple of guns back in the mid 1990s. It was ... inadequate. The dry teflon residue doesn't do much to help a slide move easier on its rails. After that, I used it on the inside of magazine tubes and not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Thanks Rhino. Another $4 wasted. I'll use the Remington DriLube up somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Did you mention why you wanted a dry lube? I'm guessing for deployment to SW Asia? Take a tube of TW25B with you. If you don't use it, it won't take up much space, but you might find it meets your lubrication needs even though it's not a dry lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
