Wheel bearing grease?

[Lonesome Dove]

Toad piss is all ya need.

Plain ol lubriplate. Stays where you put it, very thin coat. AR (carrier only) and auto pistol.

Sorry, it sounds too much like someone that does not actually shoot weapons, cross contaminating it with another item that they have no experience with. Say what you will but I have great amount of experience using "Frog Lube" and it is still my preferred cleaning/lubrication solution. The nearly dry lubricity does not attract any abrasive substances.

I know everyone has their own favorite. In the last decade none of my weapons were unable to function when required or had any measurable corrosion. I have tried several lubricants and Remoil has also worked well but still seems to attract dust and other undesirable storage issues.

Frog lube sucks. It solidifies in anything below room temperature, and lets be real. If a firearms lubricant needs another step beyond "apply", it's either bullshit, or snake oil.

The only firearms that i have ever seen that are malfunctioning due to being lubed, had been lubed with FL. Amazingly, after removing that stuff and using literally anything else, the guns work.

Frog lube is not for guns it's for.........

I've used it on a buffer spring before to quiet down the action. White lithium great accomplished the same result and was much easier to apply out of a spray can.

This is the only application that seems sensible.

 

[Sam7sf]

I stopped using grease.

I’ll tell you what works good is chainsaw bar oil.

No I don’t put wheel grease on any firearm, matter of fact I use it on wheel bearings where it’s not getting atomized and inhaled.

I use clp like I did in the Marines.

Do any of you use wheel bearing grease on your AR15? I have seen a video of a trainer that uses it. He really likes it. A tub goes a very long way. On handguns too. I you do, is any brand or type preferred? Thanks.

No.

No doubt FP-10 is good stuff. My bore cleaner for decades has been Shooter's Choice. Per your link, Midway says that FP-10 costs S2.50/oz. A quart of Mobil 1 works out to about 32 cents/oz. Yeah, I'm a cheap bastid. I should also mention that I shot NRA Highpower Rife for decades. I used a LOT of cleaner and lube. At my age, anything I buy now is likely a lifetime supply, and maybe a little nostalgia.

Most wheel bearing grease smells bad.

 

[deemus]

I have used a very thin coat of Marine wheel bearing grease on slides and also on the BCG slide area. Rarely do that anymore, but it worked find.

 

[zackmars]

Most wheel bearing grease smells bad.

I will occasionally buy a thing of G96 just because I love the way it smells

 

[Otto_Mation]

I just use CLP but School of the American Rifle.(SOTAR) mixes a concoction of Mobil 1 grease and Mobil 1 oil for his AR lube.

 

[Darqhelmet]

Over complicating an easy thing. CLP, slip 2000, etc.

Frog lube is coconut oil. Remoil is mineral oil.

I would never use bearing grease on a gun. I do however use any of several other gun greases mentioned in this thread. Uncle Sam used grease on all their firearms for decades. CLP was and is a poor choice for a lube. The temperature at which almost all CLP products burn off is way too low.

 

[Ozzman]

Nope, I don't.

I only use 5w20 Synthetic Motor oil, Ballistol, and CLP.
That's it.

 

[cycleguy2300]

Oops, spilled some Finish Line Dry Ceramic lube for my bicycle chain on a rifle and then my pistol today. Hope they dont blow up when I shoot them

I use Hoppe's #9 on my car's wheel bearings.

 

[Laufer]

Some very thin bits of Mobile One grease in the receivers and Tiny spots on the curving angles of the PTR's (HK) locking device.

Ballistol on other areas. Imbel FAL, Aussie L1A1 FAL, PTR-91, M1A Standard by S.A., Czech VZ-58.

I never roll around in the dust playing "Drop and roll- at the right time after the X-Files' helicopter lands here", and only shoot at a private club.

No ATV here , no bicycle carry at all, no 'wannabe SEAL' maneuvers, and no feral pigs or a place to hunt them.....
