Lube it up.

[Old_School]

I use Tetra Gun.

Be careful with Tetra. Unless they've changed the formula in the last 20 years or so, it will eat synthetics like 1911 buffers, Coleman pump plungers, etc.

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.

Cleaned and lubed my STI Staccato-P with my home-mix thin grease. I really like how smooth it is and how it goes on. Action cycles slicker n’ snot on a doorknob.....but it always did. If I have any issues with it on the range, I’ll let y’all know.

Next time I clean and lube one of my AR’s I’ll try the same stuff on it.

Not related, but just emailed sti to see if I can get a staccato p with a threaded barrel

Since there's so much controversy going on, I figured I'd pick a topic that everyone undoubtedly has the same opinion on.

GUN OIL!


How much is enough?

How much is too much?

i run all mine dry. On another note the wife hates it too

I think you’ve shared before but I can’t remember or find it. What goes into your homemade Ed’s red oil?

Yep. No issues so far. Been lubing all my guns with it, I really like how smoothly it applies compared to the tacky grease.

2 quarts synthetic motor oil
1 quart automatic transmission fluid. Brand and spec don't matter.
1 bottle of original STP. The blue bottle.
1 7oz. jar of Hoppe's #9

If you want some, I’ll give it to you, just bring something to put it in. I’ve got most of a gallon jug of it already mixed.

Douche it. The difference in most oils is flash point. After that it's just a matter of relubing

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.

I stopped using it. It separates. It will leave a sticky thick substance on the gun and the liquid part will run off and disappear. It even separates in the container.
