I searched and didn't find much information on this forum.

I'm curious about some information I've seen about "Greasing" guns instead of using light oils.

I've seen where they suggest a Grease and lots of it on all parts of glocks, sigs, 1911's etc. Same thing for the AR, some even going as far as using standard automotive brake and bearing grease on the bolt, BCG etc.

I typically clean my guns with Hopps, CLP, Gun Scrubber, Foaming bore cleaning etc, and lube with either Hopps, CLP or Rem Oil. Obviously whatever I have available at the time of cleaning and lubing. I'm running my guns fairly dry it would appear, rather than using "Brake Grease".

I've never had any issues. Not sure I would change my methods.

I figure brake grease would be similar to shooting my old SKS that had cosmoline still in various places and splattering anything and everything each time it was fired. No joy.

I know opinions will vary greatly on this, but value the opinions of many on this site and would like some feedback on this "Grease" issue.
