I used to use STOS but didn't like the idea of leaving that thick of a layer of lube, more of a grease.
Now I use Slip 2000 inside and out.

STOS, if it has threads or hinge grease it.

 

Super Lube Synthetic is hard to find. I've stopped by auto zone and the local wal-mart and neither have it. I guess I will have to order it. Anyone know of a auto parts store or hardware store that keeps it on the shelves?

 

My local Ace Hardware stores have it in stock.

 

The purpose of using synthetic oil, grease r any other synthetic is "WHAT' ? Chemistry 1o1.
One of you sez WHEEL BEARING GREASE, THATS GOOD, I CANT GO FURTHER THAN THAT, MAYBE HE JUST DOESNT KNOW or care. He should be
told who ever did the threads did a lousy job but he is cunning enough to use a heaver molecular grease so it works now.
The GERMANS have been using SYNTHETIC OIL SINCE WW11 in their engines and more. NOT USA.
Doesn't your shot gun deserve a good lube? The fine threads in your barrel, LOOK
I have a thin barrel ,the SMITH said, Im an expert, yes he is, but not using thin wall choke tubes. Looking down the barrel from receiver the threads are not deep enough
so the raised edge inside collects anything coming thru it. Sooner or later the threads will wear down cowboy shooting, its all its good for now
and soon the barrel will be cut 1 1/2 inches. BE CAREFUL.

 

My local Ace Hardware stores have it in stock.

I ordered a tube from Amazon Prime. It was a little over $5 and had free shipping. Thanks for the heads up, I look at Ace Hardware next time.

Slip 2000 it's what I like to use

 

Light oil and clean and remove everytime you shoot and you won't have any problems. If your one who does not change a choke all year then a good grease is the way to go. I clean my chokes and the inside threads of the barrels everytime I shoot, if it's 50 targets or 200. Grease is too messy for me especially shooting sporting clays and your changing chokes multiple times through the shoot.

 

Good lordy, I didn't know there were so many different kinds of lubricants for choke tubes.

Hmmmmm..................Now maybe we need someone like Neil to do us a study on which one is the best.

How about it Neil...............(Just kidding)

Hauxfan!

 

I've always just used Rem Oil and never had a problem on my trap gun or on any of my hunting shotguns.

 

STP oil addative works great if tubes tend to stick.

 

I use a high temp bearing grease. Cheap and can buy in bulk from the hardware store.

Sometimes this is easier to apply than the tub

 

What about Choke cleaner or soak to get it off and the plastic wad dissolved? and go:cheerleader1:

 

I use the breech plug grease that came with a knight muzzle loader I bought several years ago. It seems to work well and I am certain it can handle the heat if it was made for muzzle buster.

 

I also use Breech Plug grease from Thompson Center. Works great on contact points as well.

 

Super Lube synthetic grease.

 

Pro Shot

 

I have always used anti seize. Lubricates and prevents tube from getting stuck.

 

Door Ease hinge lube stick. About $3.00 for a 3/4 dia. x 3" stick in a tube. It stays where applied, will keep a choke tube in a jam-a-matic but won't let it get stuck and the tube will last about 20 years or so. Mine, bought in the 90s is still in use today.

 

Slip 2000 EWG

 

in addition to slip 2000 super lube synthetic grease or white lightning crystal. Im a fan of a clear grease vs colored so that it is more evident when things get nasty...

 

After purchasing a brand new gun with a severely "stuck" choke tube I decided it was time to keep grease on every choke in every gun I own. I have used the outers choke tube grease that can be found at Wal-Mart. I have not had any problems or issues in 15 years and it works perfectly.

 

Take plain old straight 30 weight motor oil and it will do the job.
Slap a sticker on it, in the smallest container you can find, and call it XYZ Gun lube and charge a 5,000% markup, and the world will beat a path to your door.

Any lube will do, just use something, and then periodically remove, clean, relube choke tube .

 

K-80 grease
It's cheap and if it's good enough for a 20K gun , it's good enough for me
