revchuck Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'm going to try to detail clean some of my S&Ws over the long weekend. For reassembly, what's your favorite lube for the pivots and rebound slide? I've got Slide Glide Lite, Gunslick, and Browning's version of the grease everyone sells in a syringe. Is there anything out there that's demonstrably better enough to make it worth getting something else? Y'all don't eat too much today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi Chuck, I use SG Lite (apply it very thin) and oil it up. So a mix of SG Lite and oil I don't use the SG on the hammer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Chuck, I like Spooks idea, but I use 100% Remoil in mine anywhere there is or might be a moving part touching anything else. Sooner than later you will decide when to much is to much. HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revchuck Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hop - How much RemOil? Dampen it or drown it? I keep a small bottle of it in my gun bag for a quick clean-up when I shoot my carry gun. I have it because it's small and cheap and works. I'm concerned with how long something that thin will endure over a period of time (about a year) as the only lube inside a revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Chuck, I practice with Lead bullets, therefore I also clean it about every 2000 rounds or so. Since I clean it fairly often I can't anwser that question. But, If you are doubting it has enough lube you can reliably relube with Remoil without taking the side plate off. Cock the hammer (empty gun please) a couple of drops down each side of the hammer. Flip gun over and a couple of drops down each side of the trigger, and where the rebound spring housing is. Dry fire and repeat one more time. That will give you a quick "relube" but is not as good as taking the sideplate off and doing it correctly. Hop Oh yeah, damp plus just a little...No need in drowning as the extra will run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I like Glide Slide and oil. I use Moly Fusion Oil, it has just a little bit of moly in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I use prolong on the cylinder and yoke. For the hammer and trigger pivot pin, and sear surface I use Mobil1 synthetic grease. use very lite kote also on the rebound slide. For those of you who handled my 625 at the classic, it had over 3000 rounds tru it and has yet to bee cleaned. Maybe this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Three drops of Corrosion X in the lock work. One on the trigger stud, one on the hammer stud, and the last on the stop for the rebound slide. Upon reassembly, a drop on the barrel of the yoke and last is a drop in the hole for the #3 screw. I feel less is best. regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chuck I clean with Tetra Gun degreaser spray, and I lube the rebound slide with a mixt of Break Free n° 1 (Military specs) and Tetra Lubricant, for the pivot of hammer and trigger Tetra Lubricant. In the sear only Break Free, my friend gift to me a bottle of Militec-1 I must try it but task that Break Free is the best Best, Igor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 At Area 5 this year, Hopalong was cleaning his revolver with some sort of volatile fluid that Rodney May had in a Crown Royal bottle (the same bottle Cliff kept drinking from, in fact). The hilljacks were using some sort of strange-looking lube, too.....I guess I really don't want to know what that stuff was..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Dillon sells some stuff called "Snake Oil" and it tends to stick better than Rem-Oil. I use it on Pins, Sear, Rebound Slide and just lightly coat the Crane. But, I keep Rem-Oil in my bag as it flows easier, especially if the temps get below 40. I've also happily used Rem-Oil alone if I don't have any Snake Oil. I have a RLee 4# Action Job and it shows up pretty quick if you have too heavy weight of lube. Tried SG Lite and it slowed down the Rebound too much with the RLee action. With the Clark 7# it doesn't seem to matter as much. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lee Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 If you have one of my trigger jobs, I recommend Lubriplate white grease. It has the best viscosity characteristics over a broad range of temperatures. It is a very lightweight grease which allows the parts to move as freely as in oil, but floats the rebound slide and rebound seat for a responsive return. It's also pretty cheap. :-) #311-003-010 in Brownells. I've had the 10 oz tube for about 6 years and it's about half full. Sorry for being incommunicado from the forum... trying to get a handle on the volume of work(thanks guys). Cliff W.- did you get Lisa's message about your 627? It's very nice. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squibby Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Greetings Clifford, First timer at 'phone' dry fire?? You mean you're a VIRGIN??? You poor guy...you need to try it more often.

Carmoney Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) In Cliff's defense, the subject line is "what's everyone's favorite goo?" So although it's perhaps a bit stomach-turning, it's really not a thread drift situation after all. Edited December 1, 2005 by Carmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Hmmm. You guys are starting to make me think that I should have cleaned my revolver sometime in the last couple of years. Other than, you know, just polishing up the exterior. OK. Back to the thread drift. Edited December 9, 2005 by Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
