It’s Time To Lube Up.

This CMD stuff “kolar” is worth a try.

Around 3000 shells though the gun in the last month or so and hardly any gas leaks around choke tubes. Just a thin coat is all you need stays put.

I use regular anti seize on choke tubes, and it works just fine. I usually Remove the chokes once per year, clean them, and reinstall them. I use Krieghoff Glide on the hinge joints.

The CMD stuff is very good. I've had a couple of friends buy a case of the stuff. One fellow, a retired commercial fisherman from Newfoundland says it is the best lubricant he has ever found.
 
The two main things about lubricant are to use it and change it often. Using it prevents wear on the mating surfaces. Changing it prevents your lubricant from turning into an abrasive.

I'm sure CMD is wonderful stuff but if it's not easily obtained it's not worth the bother. I've used grease from Briley, STOS, Nye among others and don't believe any of them gives an advantage over the similar grease you can buy at Canadian or Princess Auto.
 
I am pretty much with Claybuster on this one.
There are lots of useful lubricants, greases. White lithium grease works well. Change it often, keep it clean.
Its all about marketing with the high priced, "can't find it anywhere" but ya gotta have it, products.
 
Nothing is easily purchased from crappy tire...

And super lube that can be found there is good stuff. But there is a difference between STOS and a bucket of wheel grease.
 
I prefer a few drops of oil to grease. I don't know what the "wonder" oil was Vic Tomlinson sent me back after servicing and changing the locking block on my Perazzi but I applied it very sparingly as he indicated and it sure spreads and lubricates nicely. Gun feels slick and smooth opening and closing. He put the stuff in two small squeeze drops top style bottles and would not say what it was. Must be a closely guarded secret? ;)

But it sure does work well !!

I just use Lucas Oil Red 'N' Tacky #2 grease. I think it was $8 for a big tube at Canadian Tire.

Red and Tacky #2 is very good for keeping choke tubes seated particularly those like the Beretta Optima and Benelli chokes that have a tendency to back out when fired. The newer Optima HP chokes are much better for staying seated. The Lucas product is much less expensive and easier to get than the Briley choke tube grease.

There's been a long and ongoing debate between oil vs. grease among Perazzi owners. Those in favour of oil say it doesn't attract debris. Those in favour of grease say it stays put and doesn't risk migrating into the wood. I've used both at various times and don't think it matters as long as you clean both off after you put the gun away.

Absolutely and of course it's just personal preference.
