STOS is pretty tacky, not sure if it is still available.

I have used lubriplate, softens some when it gets really hot. On bolt actions I have been using moly grease. Seems to stay pretty tacky but black and messy if you get it on your hands/vest. Shooters choice also had a tacky red grease in a squeeze tube. And then there's pro gold... that has worked too.

STOS is still available. I purchased 2 jars last month online.

 

Superlube has been pretty great for me

 

I use the super lube and like it a lot

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a good gun grease?

All I would recommend is anything made by Pro-Shot Products. They have gun grease in a nice convenient syringe tube. This makes it real easy to place the grease exactly where you want it. When your finished shooting for the day. Simply wipe off all the grease. Then reapply the next time you assemble your shotgun. I like all their cleaning supplies and tools. All American made as well. So that's a plus as well. break em all Jeff

 

I was using STOS since it was in a syringe and a jar but it’s getting hard to get. PW appears to have the monopoly. Besides, not sure about a Reloader grease standing up to Gun heat.

 

Buy a jar of Lucas Red N Tacky for $10 and you’ll have gun grease for years. It is obviously red which is easy to see application and it has perfect consistency that won’t melt / drip in hot weather. Been using for years.

 

If you even knew how low quality that stuff actually is. (I worked there for over a decade). I certainly wouldn't be using it on a nice shotgun. Just sayin. I'm new around here though and my word probably doesn't hold any weight, but skimping on lubrication is just never a wise idea. I actually helped develop the gun specific oil during my time there. I'll also say what we developed then is NOT the same product they're selling now. Lucas brand has gone severly downhill in recent years as the never worked a day in his life son took over and is cutting every corner possible. Anyhow... don't say I didn't tell ya so.

Ohhh, I should add... TW25B -

 

Tried several over the past few years, STOS is my favorite.

 

I use STOS on my reloaders. So I originally used STOS on my O/U but in extremely hot weather with high humidity, I've had STOS drip out of my O/U and was hard to see the clear application.

That is why I went to Lucas Red and Tacky....like bearing grease, it is a smooth, tacky, red lithium complex grease fortified with rust and oxidation inhibitors. It is also water resistant for that occasional rain shooting day. I also like the red color so it is very obvious that it is still there where you put it and can control the amount very easily. It also goes into a syringe easily for application in your shooting bag.

Each to his own.....but why spend huge bucks for something else for a small tube when you can get 1 pound for $9.26 at Advance Auto....this is enough to last a lifetime of shooting. Try it.[/QUOTE]

 

I loved Krieghoff gun glide, but cant find it anymore I guess they quit making it. Bought a tube of Lucas gun grease and so far its ok, will have to see how it works in summer heat

 

I just bought a tube from Krieghoff; their newest version is green in color. Works great for me.

10W-30 car oil. I buy 1 quart that comes with a cap, using a dropper to dispense it. If it's good enough for an engine running at a couple thousand rpm at several hundred degrees temp, it's good enough for my gun.

 

I use automotive high temp EP2 wheel bearing grease. I fill several syringe tubes with it so I have one on the bench and one in each range bag for use at the club. fellow shooters have asked to use the lube and like the syringe for easy application. The bearing grease is easy to find locally, always close by when needed, never thins out from heat, and can be applied in a thin layer.

 

Slide Glide from Brian Enos is good stuff. Red and Tacky is probably really close and way cheaper.

 

Used it for many years on my 1911 pistols - amazing stuff. Slick as snot.

 

I use grease for slow moving and oil for fast moving. I se Lucas extreme grease.

 

Most O/U actions are not well served by thick greases. Oils and light greases will serve you better.

If you insist on grease, look at the already mentioned SuperLube or Tetra Gun Lube. Both are full synthetic, rather light greases (Tetra Gun offers a full line of lubricants as well). Neither one has a significant oder, and they do not stain.

 

anything but oil!! i have seen STOS run out in hot weather, aftre shooting 3 traps. use lucas red and tacky or CMD. at larger shoots of several days. i re-greased after 600-800 rounds and the CMD was still on the bearing surfaces

Recently promoted Far East Regional Sales Manager, our own forum member @Jaburg1 has sourced a spectacular new grease product soon to be available on the Bi-Star website.

 

The pivot away from China has begun! The North Koreans' military equipment has been in service since the 1950s, which proves how good BiStar grease actually is.

 

You can still get STOS over the internet. I got the syringe and a jar just a couple of months ago. Works good for me.

 

I really like "Corrosion Block", it's a blue grease that is a lot like the grease Briley's sell for the choke threads.

It's made by Lear Chemical Company. The best price that I found was on ebay for a 16 oz tub. It was under $20.00

From their website;

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

• WATERPROOF • Multi grease compatible • Excellent thermal / oxidative stability • Resists bleeding or melting at high temperatures • Suitable for sealed for life applications • Use in electrical applications that require grease • Workplace safe & environmentally friendly • Out performs competitive grease 5:1

 

STOS for my Brownings, Gunglide for my K-guns

 

Some time ago I needed gun grease. Went to an auto parts store, and bought a small tub of high temp bearing grease for six bucks. Filled a pill bottle with it to keep in my gun case. I don't remember the name, but it works great. I've been there buying that expensive grease, and it didn't work as good as my bearing grease.

 

Used Mobil 28 grease on commercial aircraft landing gear. I use it on my DT-11 hinge points and I can guarantee it won't melt on a hot day when you are shooting doubles! I bought a tube off eBay and use a popsicle stick to fill a syringe, works great and you don't need much at all

 

Walmart Grease. Been using it on one of my Perazzis for around 25 years or so, now I use it on 2 of them. Cost $5.00 back then, now it's $9.10

 

There are a lot of good gun greases out there. Probably can’t go wrong with any of them as long as you use something.
I’m not selling anyone on it because I don’t get it for free or any kickbacks but I’ve been using Super Lube grease and oil as far back as I can remember. Stumbled upon it because of working in industry. Liked it and stuck with it. -40 deg. to 400 deg. F.

 

Any grease is good enough if you apply it when you take your gun out of the case before shooting and wipe it off when you put the gun away after shooting. That’s what you are supposed to do. Grease doesn’t migrate, oil does and if the oil makes it to wood, the wood will soak it up, get dark and eventually ruin the finish from underneath (especially on the edges).

 

I get a packet of CV joint grease from my mechanic buddy, works great. Once packet will last a long time. Mechanic shops usually have lots of extras.
Bought a small travel jar to keep it in

 

Grab a few MonoJect 412 syringes (dentists use them a lot)

Great way to store and apply grease.
