Quoted: How impotant is the moly grease on the trigger and pins???
|
Not important at all, it’s just something extra some guys like to do.
Will there be major issues or extreme wear without it it? I take it that CLP is not an alternative?
|
I would not worry about wear, CLP will work just fine. I stick with CLP for the internals. If I shoot a lot and the lower receiver is looking pretty bad I’ll flush it out during cleaning with a 50/50 mixture of Turpentine and Hoppes #9. Any grease applied on the pins would be washed away.
How is the stuff that BM sells, suggestions for a better price or product.
|
Check WalMart, I picked up the grease pictured below for about a $1 if I remember correctly. Enough grease to last a lifetime of AR building.
I have 3 lowers to assemble with float tubes. Should I use it on the buttstock threads too?
|
Lubing the receiver extension tube is not a bad idea either.
Suggestions for other applications and how often to reapply on finished and factory rifles?
|
New rifles should not need reapplication unless of course, for example, you change out your barrel. As far as other applications, I’ve used a bit of grease on the barrel threads when installing the flash hider. Any where two dissimilar metals are threaded together or simply to aide in disassembly at a later date, a bit of grease on the threads of just about any part is not a bad idea. Used in moderation, it definitely can’t hurt!
