Matt Cheely Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I carry around a small bucket full of rem oil. If I feel like it needs some lube, I just dunk it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin40 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 / THREAD DRIFT I did this on purpose, I wanted it to drift once Keen started talking about lubing anything. I didn't want his mind to wonder then start typing that crazy stuff on here. Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I lube my Open gun in my office.... d'oh... I use SG Lite for basically everything that makes sliding/mating contact in the gun (rails, barrel lockup area of barrel and slide, hybrid cut, lugs, link, ramp cut area, recoil spring and plug, guide rod, bushing in the L-10 gun). If it's cold out, I'll cut it slightly with some Slick-50/10w-30 mix I've got as the standard "oil" in my gun. When fresh, the extra Glide squeezes out - and gets all over my C-More lens... heh heh... After a hundred rounds or so, though, it doesn't spit much at all. And it stays put, as advertised. For other parts - the internals, and whatnot - I use the oil mix liberally on just about everything. The stuff inside the mainspring housing gets a lithium based grease. The sear and hammer mating surfaces get JP Trigger Prep (moly based compound). I do general cleaning every 500-1000 rounds - just wipe off the old lube and carbon fouling, and relube, basically. Every other time or so I do a complete detail strip, and clean the barrel, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) Everywhere it needs it , of course All the places stated above. Also the gun "talks" to you if you pay attention. The wear/scuff marks show where to lube or where you didn't. Sub 2 lb trigger and lack of deep cleaning can spell trouble.

schmitz Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I use engine oil Shell 10W40 mixed with Slick50 (PTFE). Lube the gun whereever needed exept the exterior of course. Degreaser: low acetone-content brake-cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azone41 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I use chainsaw bar and chain lube. It's sticky as hell and stays where you put it. Best part is it only cost a 1.99 a gallon (lifetime supply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenTX Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Anyplace where metal rubs against metal gets lubed. When I got my used Open gun I asked Matt Burkett, "where should I lubricant my gun"? His reply "anywhere it is shiny". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
