What lube do you use?

[jgcoastie]

We have threads every couple of days asking about this or that lube... Well, let's have us a popularity contest that one can actually look at and see the numbers plainly, without having to sift through a dozen pages of opinions.


So, here's the poll. If your pet lube isn't listed, please select "Other" and list it below.

Thanks for playing along.

No options were showing for this poll on my screen, but: Break Free.

You forgot the poll

I use lubriplate (I forget the actual type) on my M1 rifle and M1 carbine, where grease is required. I also use it on the slide of my alloy framed P226. The rest of those firearms get Hoppe's gun oil

I use Remington dri-lube on my P22, because that little pistol runs like a champ when I use a dry lubricant and the Rem stuff is available locally

I was entering in the data for the poll. Took me longer than I had expected. It's there now.


And yes, you can select more than one oil.

Silicone oil. I have a whole stash of that stuff

 

[Boatme98]

What. No strawberry flavored?

 

[johnbt]

I have all of those and more. I have to buy something when I go to a gun show. Lube, cashews and beef jerky.

I even have the glass bottle of Daisy BB gun oil that came in a kit with my rifle in 1955.

They all work, and the greases too, some a little better than others for specific applications. I like TW-25B for daily pocket carry.

 

[Kreyzhorse]

I use Rem Oil as well as some "gun oil" which I assume is more or less a light sewing machine 3 - 1 type oil.

 

[rdf.hack]

Froglube, it does a good cleaning and lubing job, my mauser cocks like an Enfield with it.

 

[MEATSAW]

For lubrication I have found that Ballistol is really slick stuff. I'm a fan.

New-fangled, fancy-shmancy "Gun Oil"= $12 per pint (16 ounces)
Mobile 1 synthetic engine oil= $7 per quart (32 ounces)

This one's a no-brainer for me..

 

[jmortimer]

Ballistol - I am a fan as well.

 

[alloy]

A mixture of automotive oils and whatever samples I get with firearms or at gun shows. If a small bottle of something famous is on sale for a buck I might buy it and dump it in the mix. The mix probobly has traces of a dozen things on your list, although I know wd-40 isn't in there.
