    Dry lube

    Is the bomb shizzy. Grease running down your arms is for B-Dubs. Clean and slick is the way to go.

    Discuss.

    Edit: a guy I know said his unit used dry lube in the 'Stan (MP's, so no SAW's seizing up). Less sand and grit getting sucked into the action, but they kept to routine maintenance schedules. Might have been a trial of plain dry lube, vs. the new experimental plated stuff, I didn't ask, as that wasn't news back then.

    Slip EWL with a touch of EWG in a few spots makes me happy

    Birchwood Casey, Hoppe's. They're pretty similar.

    Only dry lube I have is the "Machine Gunners" lube in the little sample packs that Springco has sent me with every order. Never tried it. I run Slip2000 and Mil-Comm TW25B.

    Aeroshell and Mobil 1. Firearm lubricants are a scam.

    Agreed! Isn't Slip 2k supposed to be crisco or something? I'll take the stuff CART diff mechanics ran over cooking oil any day!

    That's fireclean you're thinking of. I saw a video on youtube where they used fireclean to cook breakfast (i think it was the InRange TV guys).

    I'm a fan of Slip 2000 EWL and TW25B if i need to use grease. The exception to the use of TW25B is Geissele triggers, which get lubed with Aeroshell #6 (i got a 14oz tube for like $9).

    I've also found that synthetic engine oil works well, and have used that in the past (or in a pinch).

    I've tried several motor oils and they generally suck for suppressed use, leaving gummy buildups and smelling terrible. I also shoot and clean my guns so often that I prefer a non-toxic lubricant.
