Lubrication in 2014? Too many damn choices.

[Onyx Z]

Fireclean without a doubt. I'm about to order my second bottle.

Rand clp, fire clean and weapon shield have been my favorites. Currently using fireclean and it seems to work exceptionally well on suppressed guns.

We'll allow this one to stand since there is a poll. But generally the lube debate has been debated.

My first choice is Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil, but it was not listed.

My second choice is Break Free-CLP, but it is a distant second.

I'm gonna be the odd man out and say brownells xtreme friction defense. It goes on runny and then after a couple minutes it kinda sets up. Not sure what makes it work but I once ran 5000 rounds in 4 months with no cleaning I just kept the ddm4v1's bolt wet and had only three failures all with the same brownells mag, I found that that particular mag body was kinda smushed and was causing the follower to drag/hang up causing bolt over base failures. After I riddled it with .224 size holes i had no further problems.

Would other lubes perform just as well, yes, I'm sure several would. But after this little test I purchased 12 bottles so I'm kinda stocked up lol.

Used Breakfree CLP for some years as it was readily available and mil issue. I found that when sitting for longer periods it would gum up. It did protect from corrosion pretty well on my carry. When FP-10 came along I did some research on it and found recommendations by some people in the know. I used it for a few years and was much happier with the results overall. I also liked the rep and attitude of George Fennell the developer, who is also a shooter. After he parted ways with the FP-10 company I was looking for a replacement. I found Weaponshield and George again. Weaponshield is the best all around gun lube/CLP that I have used. After some testing and extended use I bought a large qty.

Froglube sounds like a wonder product but I am not about to try anything I need to bake on. If I was going to start with a new lube today I would try Machine Gunners lube from Tactical Springs. It is based on Molybdenum Di-sulfide that is processed to not separate from the synthetic carrier like other Moly lubes do. My own experience with Moly oil additives in motorcycles leads me to believe that it would be a fantastic gun lubricant.

I use either the CLP milspec stuff made by Royal in the clear pint bottles (got a case at an estate sale for $5 years ago) or Slip2K EWL. Depends on what I grab off the shelf.

Please read the Froglube directions. There is no need to bake anything. You simply warm it up.

I used WeaponShield in Iraq for a couple of years and liked it. I am interested in checking out George's latest stuff and once I have some samples I will give it a go.

I use Wilson Ultimalube personally. In active duty, we used Breakfree CLP.

It's not on the list, but I moved to G96.

One of the best CLP, Lubes I've used to date. Easy on, easy off. Relatively inexpensive. After a couple treatments to my parts, my cleaning regimen has been reduced significantly.
