New Lubricant
 

Hello to all,

Just thought I would throw some info and FREE samples your way. This stuff is supposed to be pretty good stuff, I've used it on a couple of my firearms and it works good. It doesn't attract as much dust, dirt, grit, etc. as alot of you more heavier based lubricants like CLP for example. Well if anything, you can get a free sample and give it a shot for yourself! They also deal with grease for automotive equip. too.

Hi Josh, I've used Militec-1 for a while on some uses, like you say it's a great "fairly dry" lube, doesn't attract dust etc.

Families have literally been sending Militec-1 to their sons etc. in Iraq as it works MUCH better than standard issue CLP in dusty sandy conditions, to prevent jamming / malfunctions.

One comment though, most any oil or lube will include "prevents rust" in their advertising info, and Militec-1 says this too, but it's NOT a great preservative, it's not a great rust-proofer.

I did my own salt water and fresh water spray tests using Militec along with BreakFree, Rem-Oil, Clenzoil, Sheath etc, and BreakFree and Rem-Oil did the best, Militec was pretty far down the list on what prevented corrosion in my own tests (and in tests I've seen from others, one was posted on this forum a while back).

Militec retains lubricating properties even when all the carrier is gone and after being "shot dry" etc, it's great for that, but I wouldn't use it as a preservative for collectibles.

Even for bore protection, I'd prefer a patch with Rem-Oil, it's a nice light oil that truly is pretty amazing at preventing corrosion. I'll be testing out this Eezox I just got in also...

I'll be interested in your Eezox results. I have to tell you, it sure does clean barrels really well. I cleaned my Luger barrel with Butch's Bore Shine which I thought was doing a good job. When a fairly clean patch came out, I figured I was through. I did brush between patches. The I ran a patch of Eezox through and it came out really dirty!!! It took four patches with Eezox before I got a clean patch. I've since tested it on several other barrels and got similar results. I see now why a major barrel manufacturer recommends it, and includes some with each barrel...
