When you say Lube you mean Grease?

Lube that smells like ass and dries up too fast?
I think you clicked on to the wrong discussion forum.
 

For which firearms?

Seeing new lubes here and there. Reading reviews, particularly online was interesting to entertaining. I tried all sorts of different ones when I first got into shooting, trying to see if there were differences and find which works best. Overall, I keep it simple and that includes simplified cleaning.

Definitely not opposed to trying new products, but lots of tried and true over years of use. Many of these new products on the market seem quite pricey.

Personally, I only use grease in my AK.

When you say the oil “dries”, are you saying what you use evaporates? As in becomes dry just sitting at normal (non shooting temps). Or it cooks off while shooting?

there was a paper that compared the usage of grease and oil. Concluded that grease will retain more dust and crap than oil does. Grease is good for enclosed areas where oil would be used on exposed areas.

I would use oil on my BCG and let it sit in the safe for a month until the next range day.  BCG is dry (evaporated I guess).  Rifle still runs with no problems, but figure I'm bored and looking for something to buy that's cheap.  Was gonna grease the extrator, BCG.  Oil on the trigger spring. For pistol, grease on slide contact areas, oil on outside of barrel, trigger, and things that pivot in the frame (mag release, slide release,etc..)

Was watching some vids and some say if it slides, grease it. If its a pivot or spring, oil it.

I read an article about Hurricanes and how essential workers (utility) were carrying and their pistols would be under water at 1 point.  The grease was still on the pistol.  Guys who used oil, pistol was bone dry.

One month? Not sure which lube you had been using, but most shouldn’t have evaporated completely (bone dry) during that time just sitting in the safe.

Been using Break Through Battle Born Oil.

Update: I've ruled out froglube because the correct way is to heat the firearm then apply it on.  Too much humbug.

I've complained about rust in humid climates on other forums. The general advice was to use grease if not using it for a long period of time (months?), but you have to use detergents to clean it out before firing. I've since used Ballistol which is the best thing I've found for removing/preventing rust in Hawaii.

Ballistol everything, don't look back

I use Slip 2000 EWL on all my firearms, I've wiped down my shotgun with EWL after a rainy day at the range an see no rust anyshere.  Have not used solvents to clean barrels since starting to use EWL and bores are nice and shiny even after sitting in the safe for months.

M Pro 7 so far so good...used Ballistol to clean up a couple of old lever actions that I acquired and was surprised how much it cleaned them up

Ballistol everything, don't look back

I also use Ballistol on parts that are more susceptible to corrosion. Learned lesson the hard way on the base and rings on my Rem 700. Luckily, I don’t have many guns that have corrosion sensitive finishes.

Ballistol everything, don't look back

 

I picked up some Mobil 28 too for Rifle BCG's, Triggers and stuff..
