Anyone have a recommendation for a good gun grease? I’ve tried several but not real happy. They’ve either too thick and won’t spread or they “run off” when hot.

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.

thanks for the info maybe I need to look again
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

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 -
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).

Grab a few MonoJect 412 syringes (dentists use them a lot)
Great way to store and apply grease.

Back some years ago I shot with an older shooter (father-in-laws buddy) who has since passed. He use to shoot an old Winchester Diamond Grade and he use dab on STP engine treatment on his pivot areas. He had no galling and swear by the stuff.
I spent my whole life in heavy industrial equipment repair and another good product is CMD lube. It’s anti scoring and more of an extreme pressure grease. Used a lot of this stuff over the years on screw machines, lathes, hobbers and milling. Internal rotary chucks, bearing and journal lubrication. It is good stuff and you don’t have to use excessive amounts on a shotgun be any means. But I sort of settled on Super Lube. Thought CMD was a bit overkill.
Again not trying to selling the idea of the stuff. But it works.

I've heard, but can't verify, that this is the grease Krieghoff currently sells under the Gun Glide name.
In any case, it's superb gun grease.

I prefer Tri Flow oil because when I used grease it seemed to catch any dirt that was around. The Tri Flow wipes off easily when I am done shooting and I don’t have a build up like I did with grease. There isn’t a problem when it is cold and if you have a problem when it’s hot don’t put so much on.

I’m looking to get in on this ASAP! But I can’t find BiStar on the Turkish or Chinese Stock exchange!! Next stop my local Chinese Buffet, that looks very familiar……..

I use wheel bearing grease in a syring. Seemed to work for me.
