Lubricants

[MajorJim]

I was thinking about a list for existing Firearm treatments and lubricants (leaving the cleaners out of this one).

There is a lot of discussion out there on individual products, but one "list" of the ones currently available are few and far between.  I took a list started on another forum and added to it.

What got me started on this is that I am a big fan of HBN coatings (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) and started following it at about the same time David Tubb was testing it. It has been available in powder form for some time now, but a powder is tough to apply to moving internal parts (and gets mighty expensive). I did find recently that there are a small number of vendors selling an aerosol version of HBN. I have an order into ZYP, and will be seeing how that works. Might also do a test to see how it acts as a bedding release agent.

I became a true believer when I dropped a pinch of the stuff on the shop floor and almost broke my neck when I walked on top of it with rubber soled shoes.

Cerflon does have boron nitride it is, but also contains moly.

Right now, I am using XF-7 for grease (same thing Smith Enterprises uses in thier builds), Mobil One for lubricating and cleaning in the new build, and Slip 2000 for the wet tunning in AR's.  Using either Corrosion X or Boeshield for storage.

[imschur]

damn fine list  <thumbsup>

[MajorJim]

Thanks!

The Mobil One idea really started with the bench rest guys a few years back.  There are several varieties of Mobil One - right now, I have a 10W30, but they have it in higher and lower viscosities (even a 0W).  Royal Purple saw this happening and they now offer a specific gun oil, of course, capitalizing on the permium pricing for firearm lubes.  A quart of a synthetic motor oil is about the same price as 4 ounces of "gun" oil.

The US is a bit behind the rest of the world on the HBN bandwagon.  When HBN first hit the firearms scene, the only place you could get was from Canada.  As far as car oils go, I can't find any US oil company that offers it.  In Europe and Asia, HBN has been available as an additive for years.  I just found this available in the US - Cera Tec (  http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/mediendb.nsf/gfx/315F4856B709C6E3C12573B000545958/$file/TI%20Cera%20Tec%20oil%20additive.pdf) has been offered by the Liqui Moly company in Germany for some years now, and it gets some outstanding reviews. The HBN in Cera  Tec is 2 nano meters or less (that is 2/10 of one micron), compared with the 5 micron size used for bullet coating.  Since it is imported, coupled wth the low exchange rate for the US dollar these days, it is not cheap.  But, for use with firearms, one container should be a lifetime supply.

Well I don't think you forgot any. I remember years ago there were a bunch of oil additives that were supposed to do miricles.....slick 50 being one of them. Used to watch a commercial where to oil was drained and the motor kept running. I know one thing there is no shortage of ideas as where ever you go on the firearm forums this is talked about. Lots of great stuff out there now to find a cheap one that works as well. I think synthetic oil is synthetic oil regardless of brand. I know when I change my oil I always have a little left that I put in a small container. Works for me.

[blue109]

I'm just not cool enough to put that much thought into it. A little squirt of minty fresh frog lube and bang bang bang.

[Nereus]

Mobil 1 5W-30 and Mobil 1 Aviation grease. Does the trick.

[Robocop1051]

I'm quickly becoming a FireClean fan-boy

[planeflyer21]

I've been on the G96 bandwagon for a few years now…the squirt bottle works great and the aerosol smells a million times better than Hoppe's #9.

 

Follow the instruction on the can and enjoy your trouble free maintanence!

Oooooh, them's fightin' words sonny!  :bat:

 

<laughs>  <lmao>

 

G96 huh? Now I gotta try it.... 

[GRA]

i've always liked Break-free.  

[AngelDeVille]

My list is Break Free, and tetra grease.... end of list

[dprice38444]

i use amsoil waterproof synthetic wheel bearing grease.

[shibiwan]

This stuff works really well.

 

[GRA]

I remember Remington or somebody else used to market a small tube of black graphite grease.  Don't exactly remember the title of the product but it worked great.

 

Anyone maybe remember this, and if so has anyone seen it around lately?

I just applied FireClean to my AR-10 tonight, in six months I'll clean it again and see if it made a difference. :lol:

It did seem to break down the carbon well. I'll put it on my PM400 soon, that will be a good test with all the mag dumps that little sucker gets abused with.

I would recommend ordering it from Amazon, I ordered directly from FireClean and it took 4 weeks to arrive :huh: they did send a handful of the little sample packs though.

  Gunslick does & I still use it .

[unforgiven]

While reading the M1 Garand owners guide recommended lub was grease not oil.

M14 is the same too.

I've been using the same tiny bottle for 2 or 3 years now

Weapon Shield will send you a free sample if you ask.That also goes a long way.

Several years back they sent me a sample with a long needle like applicator. I've been using it on my 1911 since then but it is almost out. Hope I can get another from them, the applicator is a one and done deal or I'd refill it. I like their grease as well for cam pins, gas rings, and the slides on my Sig pistols.

I went on a kick asking for samples from every lube seller I could find, got everything from Slip 2000 to Italian Gun Grease, still opening up new stuff. FrogLube was about the only one that never sent a sample........

[unforgiven]

Good to know,yea the WS applicator is slick.

[jtallen83]

Tried to get another WS sample but the program has ended, the reply;

 

"Hi Jim

 

I’m very sorry but our sample program has been discontinued for over a year now due to a corporate decision.

 

I ran the program for years and gave away thousands of $$ of Weapon Shield, but at some point you have to recover the loss.

 

I appreciate your interest in Weapon Shield and its sister products, and if you would like to purchase them from us or any of our distributors you can find a list here: http://www.weaponshield.com/orderonline.htm

 

We also have our complete maintenance kits available now and can be seen here : http://www.weaponshield.com/kits.htm

 

I will make you this promise….if Weapon Shield or any of my products are not the very best products you have ever used or you are not satisfied in any way, I will refund your purchase and shipping if you buy it from us (800) 390-1535. Thanks and we know you'll love Weapon Shield, as it is the undisputed best of the best when it comes to total gun care and maintenance.

 

Best regards,

 

George"

 

Glad I got some free when I did.
