A good stainless steel grease I can buy at Canadian Tire

[Magellann]

White Lithium grease will be perfect for it as mentioned. I use Lubriplate 105

I use Moly grease, from CT.

Stainless on stainless is a real issue. I have seen severe damage on bolt rifle lugs in rifles not lubed.

Would it contain molybdenum disulfide (moly), graphite as one of the ingrediaants?

The Permatex Ultra Slick Synthetic Grease might work for you.
It's semi-translucent in colour. Seems to work fine for me.
Someone even gave it a five star review as a 1911 lubricant on the CTC website

Thats what I use. What I like is, it stays put and does not spread or splatter about.

^^^Another great choice, its just a little heavier consistency than the Lubriplate 105. Ive used that on the gas piston assembly on my M100

Anyone stopped and thinked for a moment why he would need grease for a prohibited gun? He can't shoot it, so why lube it?

my guess is he may be using it out of country

 

[Magellann]

No reason not to keep it in good working order and rust free, for long term storage.

I'd do the same no matter where it's used it was probably not cheap

We can legally shoot 12(6) anywhere we can legally shoot restricteds.

I use a synthetic bearing grease from CT. Have the same tube now for 5 years. Will probably still have it when they bury me.

I only chose synthetic because of it's properties in below freezing conditions (they don't change.....up to -34 it sez on the package); not for it's regular performance under heat. Mark explained it already.

I bought a tube of this about seven years ago. The tube is down now by about 20%.

You could probably get away with using Preparation H on guns. Truth is they do not experience severe stresses as compared to cars, trucks & bikes.

Red n' Tacky is pretty good for a whole bunch of things. I think I got mine at CT here in Mission. What about a judicious application of Permatex Anti-Seize?

Any of the anti-seize pastes would be a great first lube - they are still a lubricant for years after being applied - not really slippery, but would definitely prevent galling between the stainless parts - which is the concern here.

Very little would be needed, then another slippery oil would be applied over the anti-seize stuff.

^ a very, very messy option. (neverseize gets everywhere)

...um, ok. I've tried it and don't like it. It gooped up my glock. As you seem dissatisfied with anecdotal statements, tell you what, go spend $60 yourself and give us some objective data to rely on? (sheesh, try to help a guy...get sh1t on for it, relax plinker the guy's from out west...deep exhale)

I do have some. Used it a bunck no complaints. I was wondering why you said run away from it. What I got was no $60 either though

I use TW25B grease on my AMT Backup and never had a problem. I would also suggest a small dab of blue Locktite on the grip screws, trust me, they are hard to find when they fall out.

I'll do that once I get the safety working properly.

Gonna add a +1 for basically any type of grease that's adorable for bearings or shafts. The key is going to be making sure you don't goober it on there.

Synthetic helps in winter, especially with tighter tolerances.

As for frog lube.... There are actually some low strain/low pressure applications where it works well. For example, the gas valve on my weatherby semi auto 12 gauge. Warm up the mag tube, and use a paper towel to smear it on. Watch it melt, then heat up the tube again, and wipe it off after it cools and hardens again. All that's left is a very thin coating you can't see, but can feel. I do the same to the valve itself. Throw it on and it works beautiful, to clean it you just do the same procedure with a wipe beforehand.

But that's an incredibly low stress application. I tried it on bolt carriers etc and I didn't like it. It provided no real protective layer or barrier. It also doesn't really clean very well. It rarely gets used anymore now that break free clp is on the shelf, along with various types of grease (no they aren't allocation specific, I just have a few syringes full because I thought I lost one, filled a new one, then found the first, lather rinse repeat)
