Since I can’t see my other poll I will start a new one. I’m looking for a new handgun lube. Tetra Gun Grease, TW25B or are they the same? |
I've never lubed my AR's bolt lugs. I'm not saying it right or anything, but it would seem to attract even more powder fouling, and my locking recesses are filled with enough crap anyway. Do you have any problem with it turning into a sticky mess? |
+1..........I use it as well, and it does the trick

just about any lube I've used will do this after several 1000 rounds and plenty of time sitting in the safe (uncleaned). Sweets gets it off no problem and it hasn't caused a malf.  Probably not "correct", but I haven't had a problem yet.I use a chamber/barrel extension brush during every cleaning so gunk build-up hassn't been a problem. I tend to lube my BCG pretty heavily. Hasn't caused a problem...keep in mind that I'm not a soldier in any of the 'stans. btw, I do ensure that the chamber stays lube free. ymmv |

Recommended to me by a VERY good gunsmith: Super Lube Use it on everything. Like it better than Tetra. |

I used Tetra before, but when I got My Wilson I just stuck with Ultima lube gun oil, and maintained regularly. The other day I figured, WTH, try some grease on in. A few days of plain carry later, I decided to field strip and clean (mostly to get at the places sweat may have contacted). The grease had dried/hardened to the consistancy of baked-on hardened frosting. It might have been white coming out of the tube, but it was burnt orange coming off the Q-tip. It was a magnet for lint and grit as well. I'm done with done with grease... at least for my CCW. |

I've had good luck with Militec lube and grease. www.militec1.com/ |

I've been using THIS stuff on my AR and 1911s for the past few years without a problem. It stays in place and doesn't get all dry and sticky. I bought 144 of these little cups from CTD, so it'll be a while before I need to look for anything else. |
