What is everyone using these days?
I’ve tried most of the popular lubes and have settled on Slip 2000. Oil and grease, been using it for a few years now, what I like most is that after a few applications, all that is needed is a wipe down, and the soot just comes off, cleaner is really not even needed.
Worst I tried was Cherry Balmz, the stuff would harden when left for an extended time.
For black powder guns (no petroleum products. Petroleum + black powder residue = TAR) I really like Frog Lube and if I can’t get that, Ballistol.
For modern, I did a business deal years ago with a company that distributed Tetra Lube products, so I pretty much have a lifetime supply. Even if I didn’t have this much I’d still use it. Great stuff !!
It depends what I’m lubing but mostly use Militec-1. Where grease is necessary I tend to use Super Lube. Neither are a cleaner or rust prevention. I also use regular CLP in some cases but is not my favorite.
Rem Oil for gun cleaning & collet lube on a MEC shotgun press. The MEC lithium grease attracts dirt like a magnet and causes problems. A clean MEC is a happy MEC.
