Gun Lube Poll?

[garyb]

Greetings,
I'd like to conduct a poll, based on a list of gun lubes. How can I go about organizing this to make it easy to get a response. My thoughts are to list a dozen to 2 dozen gun lube manufacturers and allow the viewer to click on one to enter their selection. Can we make this work and how do I go about putting this together? Thanks.

Send out an SOS. Some of the guys here have done these polls, I'm ashamed to admit I don't have a clue how to do it myself. I'll track down one of them guys and get them on the case.

Rem Oil
+1.

[MichSteve]

I have used Militec oil for over 15 years.

Rem Oil. Available at Wallyworld.

I use Brownells needle point oiler P/N: 084-038-203.

Works good for lawnmower wheels too. :)

I use Eezox in a needle applicator. I first used it on my Seecamp per their recommendation. Works great in all temperatures, and doesn't attract residue (or pocket lint). Just bought more from Midway USA on clearance.

I use TW25B on all of my striker fired pistols - just a light coat on the sear, connector at sear contact point, and front face of the striker dogleg. A trick I learned from Dan Burwell who did my M&P's.

+1 for eezox. was surprisingly really impressed by it. wasnt sure about a non-oily lube but its been great & u cant beat the corrosion resistance.

As for the polls around here you are limited to 8 or 10 responses. There is an option to make a poll when you start a new thread. I use remoil, hoppes #9 oil, and a snap-on teflon infused oil. Rarely will I use a grease, but have been know to do so. I have found that many products that work for automobiles will work well on guns too. I have used polishes and such when I used to reload, I have also used several lubes that way as well. All have worked well.

Used to use CLP but now +1 for Militec 1.

[jlottmc]

Actually RY, the powder that the gun uses does that. Nitrocellulose aka smokeless gunpowder. Look it up in WWII the gubmint actually had people saving their bacon grease to make powder.

[Jim K]

I think that the grease was being saved for it's gylcerol content.
You know, nitro this, nitro that. Kaboom!

Rem Oil and outers grease & protector.

Hi, new guy here. I use Militec. It is said to "bond" with metal to form a near-frictionless surface. I was convinced of this when my college son ran his car out of oil and ran it (by my estimate) about 300 miles protected by nothing but the Militec film. That engine should have seized, but we simply filled it back up with oil and ran it another 50,000 miles. I cleaned my new PM9 last week (my first Kahr) and lubed with Militec. Have fired 200 rounds so far and the gun has worked flawlessly from the first round.

I use Tetra lubricants (grease on slide rails and oil elsewhere)... high tech... follow instructions... bonds molecularly and creates more frictionless surfaces and rust protection.

Just a dab of Tetra white grease on the slide rails and a silicon cloth everywhere else!

Wow.....this is starting to look like a poll on Harley forum. Just ask what oil to use on Harley forum and you will get 6 million responses...lol.:popcorn:

[recoilguy]

Its even worse on a metric sight....they will agrue the value of stnthetics vs dyno, the value of Rotella vs Amzoil and then crack jokes about than God its not a Harley or you'd just be soaking it up in floor dry anyways.....

I like FP-10...it smells good too.

Dang, I guess you can use whatever's handy. I was on a long B52 flight one time and realized that I had forgotten my Chapstick.:eek: I could feel my lips splitting and was really wondering what the heck I was going to be able to do while obsessing about that. I had eaten a chicken in-flight meal, so I dug out some chicken skin... I don't eat the skin... too fatty... smeared chicken fat on my lips and was able to concentrate on the mission. Ya does what ya gotta do to get the mission accomplished... improvise as necessary. True story! :D
Oh, it was just a training mission... no live ordnance on board. Bacon fat, chicken fat, or whatever you have. Just use something. :D

Wynn:yo: :D
