Oil Or Grease?

[silverfoxdj]

really imo i think anything pretty much works if you clean your gun on a regular basis

i know guys that have just used vaseline for years and that works fine for them

just remember less is better in this case regardless what you like
cheers

agreed....

Many years ago I purchased a cartridge of synthetic wheel bearing grease. I have used this for many years & it works well. I believe I still have a life time supply.

That's a big 10-4 on the above. Clean liberal lube conservative. Even though Conservatves love oil these days don't use much even if it cost jobs.

Thanks for all the replies. I have some Moly-Slide (Molybdenum Disulfide) from my hand gunning days. Can that be used?

Thanks, Leo.

Moly based grease is a great choice in most cases, its almost overkill from a standpoint in that it has very high shear strength which most firearms rarely see under most applications. It will protect well against rust and corrosion, and lubricate.
The only downside for me is that if it gets on your clothes its sticky and hard to wash off. But used sparingly that shouldn't be much off a problem.

It never occurred to me to use anything but oil. Now I have a use for that synthetic grease I haven’t used in years. My toes are twitching with delight!!

Go for it Al, you won't be disappointed.

Lubriplate white grease is a very good grease to use, its not too heavy, doesn't get thick in the cold, has good shear strength, and doesn't wear or wash off easily.

Lubriplate comes in many grades and weights. IMHO 130-A is the best for grease for lubricating guns, only a very thin film is required.

What about chainsaw oil (in summer or winter versions)? That stuff is necessarily sticky and a half.
