I've been using Mobil 1 for years. Its grease for me from now on.

I used to shoot with a guy who was a gunsmith specializing in high-dollar IPSC-type pistols. He himself competed in Steel Challenge and IPSC at the national level. He knew his stuff. He always used and recommended a white lithium lubricant (his favorite was Lubriplate) for the rails, and BreakFree CLP for the rest.

I don't think you can buy that kind of Lubriplate any more. Permatex (O'Reilly's usually has it) makes a white lithium grease that comes in a toothpaste-type tube.

I know LSAT is used on the military MK-19. Fully automatic grenade launcher! It's awesome to put some rounds down-range with that bad boy!

Does anyone know the difference between Mil-Tec products and Mil-comm products. I think I got bamboozled into thinking they were one and the same, but after checking I think they are different. I have been lubeing the same way FLORK recommends,but using Mil-Tec oil that is heated up real good with a heat gun, after application. For the rails I mix the oil with Lubriplate 105,apply and heat up. Rack the slide a couple of times and wipe excess with the slide mounted.The rails are the only part of the gun that are wet,for the oil is absorbed in the metal so say Mil tec. All I know is the stuff works.They also have a grease but I have not used it on my guns ,BUT use it in servicing my trucks in my business and I could not be more pleased. NO DRY OUT.It is a synthetic grease with 15% mil tec oil added.All I know is it is slick and works.

Any auto part store carries LUBRIPLATE 105. Bout $7.00 a tube. The cats meow when assembling engines,and what makes it good is, it will mix with oil which most grease WILL NOT.
