Grease that STAYS in Place...Suggestions Please.

[Nalapombu]

Hey all,

I am looking for a grease to use on my handguns and Semi-auto rifles that stays in place. I would really like it if it was a grease that could be purchased in an Auto supply store, Wal-Mart or some other local retailer.

I have heard that Marine grease is really good and works well. I have also read that bearing grease will also fit the bill. I haven't tried either of these to know.

I use regular Mobil 1 oil for lube and have no complaints.

If I can't find a good grease that stays put that's easily found locally, I guess I'll go ahead and buy some Brian Enos Slide Glide. I've read an awful lot of really good comments about it. I just don't like paying $14 for a 1/2 oz syringe of grease.

What have you all used and found works great on your semi-autos? I will be using whatever I get on both blued and stainless firearms.

Any suggestions on what I should try?

Thanks all.

I've used Slip 2000 products for years, and currently use their Extreme Weapons Lube on all my guns.
Here's their grease:

I just use Mil-comm TW-25b (which works perfectly on my guns - glad I bought a bunch for cheap when a gun store was closing out, but I'm still on my first tube after more than 15 years - you don't need much), but I appreciate all these other leads.

Try this. Loctite C5-A Anti-Seize Grease Copper from Midway. Remarks say it's the same or similar to what comes from the Glock factory. The factory stuff on my G26 stayed on a long, long time.

I am using RIG Stainless.

At the auto parts store you will find white lithium grease. Excellent lubricating qualities with practically no melting point or flash point.

Can usually be found in small tubes for a couple of bucks, or 1-lb. cans for under $10.00. If nothing else is available you can buy the 10-oz or 14-oz cartridges made for use in a grease gun. About $4.00 or so. Cut open the cartridge and scoop the grease out into a jar or can, or a squeezable mustard bottle the will allow you to apply it easily and keep it sealed.

White lithium grease is what is used when rebuilding an engine, applied to rings and bearings. Provides good lubrication when the new engine is fired up the first time until the oil pump starts distributing motor oil to the critical parts. Great stuff, been around for many years, and it is dirt cheap compared to all the specialty "gun stuff" offered.

This or Wilson's lubes.

I use Wilson Combat grease. It makes the slides on my semi-auto pistols feel like they are on ball bearings.

Based on this stipulation, I suggest Super-Lube Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease:

It appears....

It appears that everybody is in agreement on which grease is best.


Seriously, any of the above will work.

All of the above greases will work well. Mobil 1 gives the best bang for the buck.

Plus 1 on the white lithium grease. It's the duct tape of lubricants! We use it all the time at work.

Get some motorcycle chain lube. You spray it on your
chain and it aint goin anywhere.

The semi-autos that I've owned that liked a little grease both performed well when using Amsoils spray on grease. I used it in my M1A and all my AK based rifles, I liked the way I could spray it on parts like the bolt and then take a shaving brush and brush it around getting the excess evenly distributed. The only reason I got onto that stuff was that I had a buddy that was a dealer, I wasn't all that crazy about the stuff but after installing it in a Jeep Cherokee Chief that I had that wouldn't pull 5th gear on a level road and finding it worked and actually increased the mileage over a period of months. Its not something to run right out and change everything over but the stuff does work, it sure helped that weak engined Chief, 2.8 Chevy V-6 is good as a boat anchor thats about it.

I started using white lithium on the M1A, and then the rest of my firearms.
By the way, I prefer cherry pie more than apple.

I second the white lithium. It's good stuff.
I also use synthetic brake-caliper grease. It will really stand up to high heat applications.
You can find both at an auto parts store.
