Militec-1

[worahm]

Does anyone have experience using Militec-1 lubricant on a S&W G&P-40? I am apprehesive about getting the lubricant on the composite parts of the gun and also if I should use a heat gun to cure the lubricate as recommended in the instuctions.

I have used Militec on my H&K 45's and gotten it on the composite frame with no problems. Since it's not possible for me to shoot them after applying the Militec I heat them on top of my oil space heater, regulating the temp to what is uncomfortable to lay my hand on but not umpossible to touch. I stand the pistol slide down on top until it is warm in the grip area. I also use the Militec grease on the slides.

Militec liquid will not harm any plastic or paint. I am not thoroughly convinced their "heat plating to the metal" effect actually exists. What I know from my own testing is that Militec liquid is the slickest lube and will reduce trigger pull weights. I have seen data that it is a poor rust inhibitor. I blend Militec liquid and FP-10 at a 50-50 ratio to get good lubriticity and rust protection.

Militech grease is not intended for firearms, and that is according to the info on their own web site. I use Slide Glide for grease.

When I did it, I took the metal parts off the gun and laid them on a cookie sheet and used the regular oven (make sure your wife isn't home

)

I never saw any evidence it did anything permanent.

Do you remember the temperature you set the oven?

Funny.... when you get senile, you leave notes for yourself. I checked the label on the bottle of Militec and I wrote in black pen:

cure temp 150F

I must have gotten that number from somewhere, probably the Militec website.

Yep, when all else fails, read the instructions.

Actually, the cure temp is not on the label instructions. That would make life too easy. I think I must have looked it up on their website and then written it on the label in black ink for the next time I needed to know....

APPLIED Miltec to my SA mil-spec parkerized finish. Put it in a cardboard box and sit it out in the sun on a 95 plus Texas summer day. Now have a dark and durable finish. No rust in over a year.

I put Miltec on my M4 and my Beretta and left them out in the Afghanistan sun for several hours in 2006. No rust (it does rain and snow in Afghanistan in the winter) and it helps to repel dust as well, which is REAL important over there.
