Gun oil or grease?

[SIGnificant]

I like CLP for everything but the rails. For the rails I like Tetra Gun Grease.

I have been using light oil for firing pins/other parts that don't move very far and Hoppe's gun grease for slides and semi-auto bolts. I want to try Frog Lube... the local guys had it, then sold out pretty fast- about the time it showed up on the ODT. I blame all of you.

I guess I'm going to have to order from their website.

I thought Hoppes gun grease specifically says on the back that it should only be used for storing guns.

Jr. uses Preperation H but, not on the firing pin! Could cause ftf's.

(Me? I use Nano)

I use clp to clean gun and oil. Any metal to metal contact I add gun grease. I use a syringe with a needle that is cut in half to remove the tip. Wife works in the er and is always bringing them home by accident. Makes grease application precise and clean.

I like 10W-30 myself, Mobil 1 Full synthetic to be precise!

But still use hoppes for a lot of stuff.

Just tried a lil grease on the bolt carrier on my AR's and all I can say is ooo-la-laah. Yes, I am French (not really, but I play them on the interwebs)...

Haven't shot 'em yet, but they seem to cycle very, how do you say; cleanly...with an emphasis on smooth...

A little dab'll do yah....
