Quote HistoryQuoted: I always used Slip EWL but recently bought some Cherrybalmz and it may be the ticket...! I’m liking it. Just ordered more as my first bottle was getting low. I would say 95% of the folks that have tried it haven’t looked back on any other. I use the field balm and the black rifle balm together. |

2/3 Weaponshield Lube and 1/3 Weaponshield Grease mixed and applied. This is the best thing I have found for storage that still comes out lubed months later.
Love Weapon Shield products. By far the best I have ever used |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Frog lube extreme CLP is amazing and the paste is good to go as well. The extreme stays put pretty good but the paste stays put no doubt. Don't knock it until YOU try it. It works well and I use it with the Froglube solvent for cleaning. I have run rifle courses with nothing but an initial lube of the paste and my stick ran like a champ and I will disclose this was in the summer months. I use the extreme and paste combo now but when it is expected to get cold outside I run just the extreme with excellent results. Just sayin I spent time in the military and we used two different lubes depending upon the extreme environments we may be in. I do not use the liquid Frog lube because it does gum up in my experience when it sets for a week or so. OP, try it and then decide. It is what it is bro. Edited to add content. I tried frog lube and fireclean. I don't remember which lube was used on which guns, but some of this gummed up sitting in the safe. At the time, both were highly praised here. I've very cautious on lube of the month recommendations here. I used to use Breakfree CLP. I never really had problems with it, except maybe it's a little runny. Mpro7 or something is what I use. It's ok too. I'm not running thousands between cleanings. I shoot a few hundred and then back in the safe. I may give Cherrybalmz a shot someday, it's been a forum favorite for a couple years. |

Yeah Frog Lube is a no go for me. If you apply it, run your gun, reapply, run....it’s fine. But let it sit in the safe for a month or two, total gum. Just like many of us here, I’ve got a dozen or so ARs in the safe and I want to be able to pull any one of them out and hit the range without reapplying lube. Cherrybalmz is the only thing I’ve found that allows this. TW25B was good too for this purpose, but nah on the PTFE. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So because they use PayPal as a merchant? A lot of members here boycott PayPal because they are supposedly anti-gun and don't like people buying gun accessories using their company, but I have not found much proof of this. They might as well give up siting down to watch a football game and drinking a beer because all of those companies donate millions to the gun grabbers. Should also stop watching movies or anything to do with Hollywood. |

Funny you should mention those things. I don't watch football, don't drink beerr, and gave given up on Hollywoo as 60% of their output seems to be hooror movies or comic book based. But my objection to PayPal is they directly PREVENT you (by closing your account) from continuing to exercise your constitutional right. Football teams and beer companies don't do that. Sure, they give money to political parties and or candidates, but I can do the same thing in reverse by not using PayPal. The 3% I don't give them doesn't amount to much, but I posted here, and now more people may also vote with their wallet.

Now to get back on track, I have been using CB for a couple months now and the stuff stays put and does not burn up as quick as most of the non grease oils I have used.
I also like the idea of the other poster here who is mixing Weapon shield grease with their oil. I thought about using their oil mixed with their grease product but figured it would separate after a while? |

I would not mix lubes,
I once lubed the insides of some of my revolvers with Breakfree, and then a year later shot a spray of Balistol in there. 6 months later had a big yellow gummy mess. Both good oils, but didn't play well together. When it comes to lube debates, use whatever you like. The worst thing I saw as a Gunsmith was customer guns that were bone dry. Either they had cleaned the gun and over time the oil dryed up or burned off. As for me I like Breakfree LP for Lube and Breakfree Clp for cleaning. The CLP is fine if I can't find the LP. I want a lube that 5 years from now I can still find I want a lube that doesn't dry or gum up in 6 months from now. I want a lube I can find easily. I can find Breakfree on Amazon, Midway, Brownells, even my local Walmart. |

It of course depends on phase separation and chemical compatibility but I’ve had bad luck trying to mix certain oils, and greases. What does work though is Cherrybalmz Field Balm and their black rifle balm. The field balm, if you haven’t tried it is a bit thinner. And it’s perfectly fine to mix the two. The field balm goes on the bolt and black rifle balm goes on the carrier. I’ve tried it enough on different rifles that it’s going to be my long term solution. Till something better comes along. |

I have the 5 pack of all of them. Got 2 FB and 2 RB + 1 WB. In my own experience I have found no issues with mixing lubes as long as they were from the same brand. Only issue I had was when I mixed SLP2000 EWL with it's 50 weight oil. It had separated and the slp2000 ran off and the heavier 50 wt stayed put. |

I have heard great things about the brand and the guy who runs it, but at this point it seems like something is going on. Shame. It's definitely a shame what's going on, and if it's the USPS that dropping the ball and there's nothing he can do about it, well then that's one thing, but him not answering any emails or phone calls is kind of lame unless he's absolutely overwhelmed maybe? It is a shame because so far I've been impressed with the product, but I have only fired 2 to 300 rounds out of any of the firearms I own with it so far. One thing that does bug me a little bit about it is the application is a little bit slower than if I were to just use a regular CLP or whatever. I'm also wondering if this grease is slowing down my BCG group as it gets dirtier? I'm almost thinking of trying the field bomb exclusively for the AR platform and using the heavier grease on my pistol slides. One thing that also bugs me about this oil is it's not going to get down into parts that need lube like a regular oil will, so you're still going to have to use something to get those hard-to-reach parts lubed. |

I've made 3 orders from CB. The first one did take a week to ship. No biggie. The second order shipped in about 48 hours. The most recent order I placed about 2 months ago arrived 2 days after placing the order.
I have an extra Black Rifle Balm and an extra Field Balm, both new. The Field Balm is just a little less viscous but not by much. PM if you want either or both, $20 /ea. shipped. I drive by a post office every day so if you're eager to try it I can have it to you in 3 days. |

Cherrybalmz. I went through my free sample and ordered a 5 pack of BRB. That should last me a while.
I shot a little bit this winter and it did fine, even in the Minnesota cold. I found that it does "creep" a little bit. The outsides of my pistol slides regularly have some wetness from where I greased the rails. |

I've been using the ALG lube and super thin grease for a while and like it enough but the oil has a tendency to go everywhere but where you put it. I prefer the 0000 grease as it stays where it is and generally keeps things wet. The one I want to try is Slip2000. I may go grab some today and run it this weekend.

Sometimes I prefer the ease of using oil / lube but it just doesn't stay and everything I have tried cooks off super quick or disappears while being stored in the safe. That is not the case with Cherrybalmz. I've been using it on all my ARs and Glocks. It just works. It makes a fine lube if you spread it with your finger on the bolt. For the slide contact areas like the carrier surface, I use the brush and gob it on kind of thick and let it work its way in by racking it a few times. On my suppressed SBR 300 BLK which gets hella dirty, it can get kind of messy to cleanup but its all still there. I just wipe away the dirty, spray G96 Gun Treatment on it and let it sit for a minute. After that it's cleaning and reapplying CB. |

This is the one thing that bothers me with grease is it gets gritty after firing and carbon builds up on the bolt and carrier ,especially when it's cold out. I can literally feel the carrier slowing down. I know this is what the winter balm is for but it feels like the same viscosity as the ALG LG. |

Although I ran out recently and found a good deal on Strike Industries anti venom aerosol. Smells really good and cleans/lines as well as G96 so far so I’m happy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm an industrial machinist and light cuts and scrapes are a reality, and I can attest that it does work as an antiseptic, just tried it this week since I keep a small battle of it at work to clean my tools with. The cut never showed any sign of infection just the same as the other antiseptics. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I know a lot of folks who swear by Ballistol. Cool thing (IIRC) is that it can double as an antiseptic.

I have had good results with Weapon Shield oil on my 1911s and revolvers. New to the AR platform but have been using Weapon Shield for all critical lube points and putting a light coating on areas carbon tends to build up. Makes clean up a whole lot easier and the rifle has run great without failures of any kind. https://www.steelshieldtech.com/shop/weapon-shield/weapon-shield/

Quote HistoryQuoted: One of the Mil-Comm products such as MC3000 or TW25B. TW25B was my down-select as a newbie for my LE6920, solid products. Curious about the SLIP as well but MC is a thumbs up for me too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've made 3 orders from CB. The first one did take a week to ship. No biggie. The second order shipped in about 48 hours. The most recent order I placed about 2 months ago arrived 2 days after placing the order. I have an extra Black Rifle Balm and an extra Field Balm, both new. The Field Balm is just a little less viscous but not by much. PM if you want either or both, $20 /ea. shipped. I drive by a post office every day so if you're eager to try it I can have it to you in 3 days. I placed an order 7/21 and... crickets. |

Still liking Cherrybalmz. I’ve got 3 ARs that have been running it since shortly after I made this thread. It does seem to dry up a bit on the carrier surfaces after being in storage for a few months. But hasn’t affected performance.
Just got some Machine Gunners lube that I’ve been using exclusively on a new AR-10. Probably the best oil that I’ve tried so far in terms of viscosity and staying put. |

I used to use oil on my ARs mainly but I recently switched to SuperLube grease and mix it with HbN and WS2 for increased heat resistance, increased tackiness, reduced friction, and increased corrosion resistance. When I shoot, it doesn't burn off, it stays put, has no smell, and lubricates and protects well. It's also non-toxic, safe, and not hazardous. Only problem is when I put WS2 in it, it gets messy because it's black in color. Otherwise, it's clear in color.
This is my new favorite and it's cheaper than other options. A little goes a long way. |
