militec.... yes again

[cymax]

so i just got a bottle of militec at a local gun shop. people there told me it was the shit... well guess what it sucks ass.... rust protection sucks.

lube wise it's good did a heat treatment thing the recommended and it did leave a film. but i would not use it to store my rifles specially my antics. i am talking about an 11mm Mauser or 6.5 Swedish or mass 36 in 7.5 french. all in immaculate condition

let me point out something about the penetration bonding thing. as a mechanical eng. i studied extensively materials and especially metals.

metals are crystals. on the surface of any metal depending on how polished it gets u have pit's. i think that the militec fills those pits making the finish a lot better. a better finish equals less friction.

i am sorry about the language but having spent my hard earned money on snake oil pisses me off.

on the other hand i found that landrover swivel grease is nlgi0 ( liquid at room temp) and contains 3% moly i may try that and see how it goes over all

Have you looked at Gunbutter? I've had very good results with it and have run some comparative frictional and environmental tests with it and some other brands of firearm lubricants and the results were very positive. Fully synthetic and works at both ends of the temperature extremes.

Keep it on topic.

[Col_Crocs]

I think Ive read that somewhere in the past. I think it may have to do with the recommended application method.
Keep us posted on the land rover grease. Im interested to see how well it does.
You could also give bug juice a try. It's a mix of:
1 part fully synthetic engine oil
1 part ATF
1 part STP Motor oil treatment
10% Hoppe's #9 solvent.
The original thread recommended mobil 1 10w30 but I think any fully synthetic oil should do. I used a 10w diesel engine oil.

I used to use Militec almost exclusively and it worked pretty well as a lube. Until I found out it didn't have any anti-corrosion properties. I mixed it with a royal purple synthetic motor oil. It works well.
Weapons shield and Slip EWL also works very well.

Weapons shield and Slip EWL also works very well.

I like both of these very well, but have found the Weapon Shield burns off slower. At least in my experience.

I have and use both though.

Latest issue of Gun Tests reviewed products for anti corrosion function and Militec did not do well. Test did not look into lubrication capability.

Militec is an great lube but shoddy at rust prevention. I use CLP or Hoppes gun oil when I wipe down my weapons and then lube w/ Militec. FYI that whole heat treating thing is BS, just use it like regular lube and you'll be fine.

I have used it sence 2005 in all my AR platforms. I used it in Afghanistan and Iraq with no issues.

You can here the diffrence in your bolt after a few applications

I consider this lube to be a "dry" lube. Heat part, aply.....repeat a couple more times, wipe off as much as you can off the weapon, now your gun is ready for the sand box. The good thing about it is that it doesnt leave your gun gunky and full of dirt. Here in the states this is not nessesary and thats why I use slip 2000 ewl.
