Pistol lubrication and cleaning

[Magdump]

Gun grease definitely has applications such as your BCG, trigger and slide or bolt rails, but I prefer a good moly grease. I’m not a fan of Lithium grease for guns. KG makes the best dry lubes I’ve ever used and the best moly grease as well. That’s my trigger dope. As far as a real world protectant, Marine Tuff Glide has kept all my hunting rifles and shotguns in good shape for about 30+ years. Anything steel that you need to weatherize would benefit from a coat of this.

Break Free CLP and Birchwood Casey Barricade (formerly known as “Sheath”) are a couple more of my long time favorites. I’ve amassed a pretty decent collection over the last 40+ years of collecting and have tried a lot of products. I’ve whittled the list down to a choice few over the years. I still use Balistol (rarely) but I also still gripe about the smell. I mean come on, does it have to stink that bad? I love the smell of Barricade and Hoppe’s number 9.

I use a lube I make up cheap and easy seen it somewhere else a d been using works great I use a mixture of motor oil and a molly grease mix until its almost texture of honey way cheaper than buying any gun oils

Light grease on internal closed parts and oil for all others if you must use grease.
