Secretariat Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Do stainless steel guns need a different kind of lubrication? If yes, what kind of lubrication do they need? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The rumor is they do need to be well lubricated to prevent galling. I've always used BE slide glide on my hard use Infinity Limited guns and have never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 There is a specific grease called Rig +p for stainless that claims to prevent the galling problem. It is good lube, I have used it. I currently use Slide Glide and FP-10 on my stainless guns and have yet to see any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hello: I use Mobil 1 20W50 summer and 0W30 for winter. Never have a problem. If they build the gun with the correct materials they will not gall. If you buy a new gun clean it very well and lube it up. Run it and lube it up again. Then clean it after 500 rounds. Then again lube it up. Repeat for thousands of rounds and enjoy. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 If your really worried about galling use some kind of grease with copper in it. Copper is used on bushings for its anti galling property's as well as in anti size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have many stainless guns and the only one that ever showed any sign of galling was a Para (not much). If the gun maker adjusts the formula of the materials that ride against each other, galling can be eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan550 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Break Free LP....not CLP. Says on the bottle that it was designed for "intensive and sustained fire for rapid-fire automatic and stainless firearms". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Rig +P is the old standby for stainless. When the AMT hardballers and other early stainless bottom feeders were having galling issues that was the grease to use. I still use it on my Dan Wesson and cut it with a little FP10 or light oil. Works great. But, any lube is better than no lube, especially with stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagoRed Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I put tetra on the rails of my trophy match and slip2000 on the bushing, link and barrel hood. As well as disconnect and hammer. Hopefully that's good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonics recommended Breakfree for the Scoremaster and included a couple of bulbs of it in with the gun, but I found RIG +P grease to be superior. These days the metallurgy is heaps better and galling is almost unheard of in new guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
