| Anyone ever used gun butter on there gun? Well don't. I used it on my bolt and bolt carrier and that crap was all over the place after the first mag. Now don't get me wrong it lubed well but what I started noticinb was it picked up everything that touched it and stuck like glue. I had power residue, pieces of brass, dust, lint, and god knows what else stuck to me bolt after a couple of mags. I could tell it was going to get worse so I cleaned it off. It took forever to get all that stuff out of my chamber and upper. I won't be using it again. Back to CLP and Rem Oil. As long as you keep em wet this has always worked for me. What are your guys experience with this? |
Sorry, the name itself just sounds like trouble.
| Gun butter is like Rig. Real thick. When it gets hot it thins out a bit but still pretty thick. Everything sticks to it. Dirt, dust, lint, fuzz from towels, sand, power from ammo, foulings from ammo, etc. Other lubes I have like Rem oil and CLP aren't as bad. I have a new one I've been trying by Smith and Wesson. It's called Smith and Wesson Dry lube. It smells like it has some alcohol in it or something that drys up and just leaves a thin film that you can't even tell is there. There's no chance for anything to stick to that lube but I haven't really found out how good it works yet. |
I personally use GunButter on every weapon I own. There is no better lube out there. Need to follow application instructions. Does not play well with others. Needs to be stripped and oil free. Then buttered up! Do not over butter!

| I havent really compared it to different lubes I've normally used but I read all the hype and decided to give it a try and I've been using it on my AR for almost a year and now my M&P40 and have had no problems at all with it. The hype about cleaning being as simple as wiping off dirty parts and relubing isn't really true but unless I use cheap dirty ammo (which is rare) or feed it a really large amount of ammo in a single trip then I don't clean after every time I shoot and my rifle has shot with out any problems and this is with out cleaning and relubing between shooting trips. I've never had any seriously dirty parts after just a few mags. No more than anyother lube I've used. Both guns I've used it on both ran perfectly smooth to begin with so I can't tell if they're any smoother or not by just using it. |

Gun butter has been great in my experience...but then again, any lube will stick dirt and debris in place because it is a wet surface. It really doesn't matter if it is CLP, Gun Butter, MilTec, Slip 2000, ect. The difference is between Oil and Grease.
IMO, the AR is an Oil system...not too thin works best and don't blend lubes. Pick one and stick to it...they don't all play well together. |

I can't speak for using it on an AR, because I haven't tried it yet, but I use Gun Butter on every gun I have, including a bunch of pistols, shotguns, and a couple bullpups - and there isn't a better lube. The only reason I haven't used it my AR is because it ain't cheap, and synthetic motor oil is. And the AR seems to need more lube than most other guns.
I haven't noticed any excessive dirt accumulation with Gun Butter, but you DO NOT need to use a lot of it. Just my opinion. |

It is a good general rule of thumb when you are dealing with lubes, solvents, ect. Solvents are the worst...but you shouldn't mix anything on your gun unless you KNOW how the two will react together. |
