Lube it up.

If it rotates , oil it. If it slides, grease it.

Bought some of the ALG 0000 Thin Grease to give it a try.

On an interesting note, the directions that came with my STI Staccato-P 9mm specific states NOT to use grease. Grease is all I’ve used on it so far. 5 loads, from 115grn reloads to 124grn +P’s, 800rds total, absolutely no issues.

Been using nothing but Lucas on my Staccato C2. I’m at 600ish and the rails still look super with only a couple of shiny spots.
Been using it on most all since I picked it up couple years back. My Baer is the absolute tightest I’ve owned and it works fine on it so I just keep using it.

Anyone use full synthetic motor oil? I think remember someone recommending this? Or maybe they mixed synthetic motor oil with something else to make a great gun lube?

Thats what the old fellers told me to use on my commie guns.

Not a bad video. He was funny at some points, and i liked that.

The new rifle vs old rifle thing was a good point.

Not sure about the running your guns super wet part, but i do agree you don't have to clean every time unless you're putting like 1k down.

Also not sure about the wd40 thing, but hey I remember the old dudes telling me to dump motor oil in my AK so...

Good perspective though.

*disclaimer - I dont have 4 or 5 decades of experience like some people on this site. These are just my thoughts.

Yeah, it's just one guy's perspective, but John is pretty knowledgeable and I have learned some good info from his channel.

It struck me as knowledge he had learned and tested himself in the field, and thats the best kind.

Got the ALG Thin Grease in. It’s thin, but should stay where you put it.

I took the grease that I’ve been using for years, which is Mobil 1 full synthetic automotive grease. I mixed that grease with my homemade Ed’s Red oil until I got the consistency that I wanted. A little thicker than the ALG, but much thinner than the original grease was. I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work, but we’ll see.
