Lets talk lube!

[DANGERTASTIC!]

I want to hear what you guys use specifically for the FCG (Hammer/Trigger springs) etc.

I dont care if its wheel bearing grease, lithium, CLP, Astro Glide, KY, or Crisco.

I have used a light bearing grease and periodically "touch up" with Slip2000.

What works the best for you.

I just throw a dab of militec on the springs and pins every 4-5 cleanings. When it gets dirty I spray it out w/ brake cleaner and compressed air.
Simple as that.

I usually clean the lower every few outings with brake cleaner and then with a Q-tip lightly coat with 5W-30 Mobil 1 oil.

For the upper and BCG, I do the same and has worked just fine for me in warm and cold weather. Steel casing have been the only issues when it gets cold.

Personally I prefer silicon based lube over that water based shit, it just doesn't break down and become 'tacky'...

Oh wait.. wrong lube!

I seem to be of the same with the fellas above.. 4-5 trips it all gets sprayed down w/ gun scrubber (brake cleaner of a different name, I got a case for free..)

I actually have been rather fond of gun butter.

I let a gun sit too long w/o a lube job and took her to the range.. she kept seizing up on me.. A sig none the less.. I had my gun butter with me and put a few dabs on her.. cycled the action and have not had a problem since.

It doesn't seem to accumulate 'gunk' as you put a drop on it and work it in. It is pricey.. but.. IMHO worth it.

Tetra gun grease.

clp for me, or rem oil. I clean my guns all the time after every use and have never had an issue.

I use regular old Hoppys in the orange bottle. It worked for my great Grandpa, Grandpa, father, father in law, and my self. Been using it for 25 years with no problems.
