well, you (and all of us) have already spend a LOT of money testing and approving CLP..........



just a thought.

Astroglide or Breakfree CLP, depending on your intended use.

KY, hands down.

Which congeals in cold weather.  I use Miltec, works great in the heat or cold.

Break Free CLP, and it's fairly cheap too.

I got out a couple gun cleaning supply catalogues and I couldn't find a reference to a product named KY. Could this be a product designated for other use that is acceptable for use on firearms? If so where could I find it referenced? Is this an industrial lube? or is it used in some other business?

Say I use Astroglide, and I go plinking with Wolf.  I'd think that it would just gum and foul up really bad, no?

Jiffy Lube?

Course, they always get a little nervous when i pull up into their service garage, open my trunk and have like dozens of dirty rifles and handguns and say "clean and lube these things, and no- they don't need another coolant system flush!!"

Some brothas in my area swear by "Soul Glow" also...

Mobil once synthetic for normal use.

A light coat of this stuff, shoot to my hearts delight, and even wolf ammo crap mostly wipes off, with very, very little needing to be scrubbed off  on the rear of the bolt. And even that is light scrubbing.

Never going back to anything else.

Colloidial Graphite for extremely dusty use. (Graphite powder suspended in an alcohol base)

Its a dry, graphite lube, used sometimes as anti-sieze by the govt.  Called 'Neo-Lube' these days. Dosn't attract dust and debris like oil based lubes do in desert environments.

After completely degreasing a firearm, I put several coats of the graphite on all the friction/wear areas, let it dry completely, and then put the weapon back together.   It will last for about 600 to 1000 rounds on an AR before starting to wear too thin and allowing the carbon gunk to gum up the works.

Good shiznit.

Original KY is good, but the warming KY is gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

Use Mil-Tech, regardless of what the rest of these perverts say. And there seem to be a lot of them!

KY warming doesnt't warm....it fucking burns, go for astroglide or generic brand lubes.

I'm sure prison lube will do just fine.

Seriously - Eezox or Gibbs.  Nothing else comes close.

I bought some aresol(sp?) CLP. I highly recommend it. It gets into every tight spot.

Militec 1. I have a few bottles from when I worked at Barrett. Militec was giving it away to us. I ended up with 5 or 6 1 pint bottles. I haven't made much of a dent in the first one  after 2 years.
I use it on both  AR's and both FAL's. A little goes a long way.

Guys,

Anal lube, rim lube, prison lube, astro lube, no, and KY, I'm asking about  about  GUN Lubrication not BUM lubrication.  Is there anything better than CLP out there? There have been a couple suggestions, is there anything that would be good on my CETME and my AR15?

Just slather it up, dripping inside and out, with CLP. Dry patch the barrel, and wipe the outside down with a soft lint-free cloth. She'll luv you longtime, Joe!
