Is there a big difference between the white lithium grease and the regular black lithium grease? I know that I have purchased some magazines that came with the white lithium greaser applied to the springs. I have a bunch of different magazines that I wanted to put the grease on, just for measure I suppose, but I have a ton of black lithium and no white lithium grease. I didn't know if there was a big difference. Is it ok to use? |

Who made the magazines that came with grease??? I agree with everyone else, lightly lube the inside bearing points on brand new DRY ones but grease on the springs I don't get unless this is a preservative grease. If I use grease I like Mobil 1, Synthetic Chassis Grease (nice sexy pink color) or GAA, Grease Artillery & Automotive. Grease Aircraft WTR (Wide Temperature Range) is also excellent. All are proven to work in cold weather as well. I fell into a whole case of GAA at a flea market a couple years back in one lb cans and love it. |

I know a guy that has the neatest preservative system I have seen in a good while. He has one of those heat sealing commercial bagging machines. He casts bullets as a living and he takes his bullets and seals them in heavy plastic bags. He says he has never had any oxidation or corrosion on anything. I keep telling myself I need one of those outfits haha. On my bullet molds when I get through casting I place them in a zip type plastic bag and they are stored in a outbuilding in 80% and better humidity. Never had a spec of rust on one yet. Lubing molds is a bear to get them going again but the sealed bags are neat. Then again I have new GI mags still sealed in their bags for last 20 years and are perfect. Since I have never been able to wear a GI AR mag out, no reason to open the rest of them. I have mags I have used since 74 that are still going fine. I think the sealed bags will last longer than I will. Once had a SF type tell me they had numerous 20MM cans full of loaded magazines for AR in Europe back in cold war and they had been there for years. All perfectly good. |
