This Militec stuff would probably be the only other stuff I'd use...JLaw wrote:For lubrication I use Hoppe's gun grease on slide rails mostly, other times I'll use Break Free. For lubricating the action (trigger components) I've been using Militec. Not sure if the Militec is any better at lubing actions yet, just thought I'd try it for a while to test it out. I use the Break Free for rust protection also.

When some have noted the "traveling" aspect of lubricants, its hard to find one that stays "in place" where you want it...
So thats why I use, almost to an obsessive lower limit, or amount, where I know it'll need some kind of "coating"...
And thats really where it is...You won't find a light oil that will stay in place that much...So instead of trying to find out what to put on it, try to figure out just the amount you think you need, and then put slightly less...
With the amount some of us do shoot...And the amount of cleaning and troubleshooting we do on our firearms...I don't see a need personally for me to lubricate much more (or in my case, "less") than what I do now...
The whole motor oil has me intrigued...The retention, adhiesion, or viscosity level (capability) of those products give me a reason to think about doing some experimentation on some other lubricate product...
But the bottom line is that things (subjects) like this is what makes the whole idea of firearm ownership and usage a lot of fun in my book...
