Re: bolt gun lube
I would also like too know if anyone uses it. I would think it would work, and I have plenty of the stuff.

Re: bolt gun lube
Any high pressure synthetic grease will work, just keep the lugs greased. I was using the Red Shooters Choice but now I'm using the red Mobil 1 Synthetic High Pressure Grease. No odor and looks very much like the Shooters Choice I was using. $4.00 per tube, I bought a case of 10, set for life.

Re: bolt gun lube
I use a few drops of Mobil 1 oil on all my bolt guns, we get lots of wind born dirt out west, grease seems to collect it and turn it into grinding compound.

Re: bolt gun lube
I use Tetra Grease. Its rated for -65 to 750 degrees and bonds with the metal (factory statement) but it seems to keep crud down and the bolt on my factory rifle is now smoother than before without any visible galling or wear issues.

And oil runs off and you get no lubrication.

Re: bolt gun lube
I use copper anti seize on my bolt lugs (even on the 50 BMG bolt) and trigger sears. Works really well and stays whare you put it. I use Tetra oil and grease for everything else. I also use some 100% synthetic motor oil for some parts as well....

Re: bolt gun lube
I use boretech grease for the lugs and have been happy with that. No real preferance, it came in a gift bag off of a prize table and the same tube has lasted me about 10 years. I do like Gunbutter for my ARs and shotguns, a little goes a long ways and it seems to stick around after other oils have evaporated off.

Re: bolt gun lube
I have been using copper anti seize but some fellows here recomended Super Lube ( auto Stores)and how slick it was, they were not kidding. Clear, stays put and is the slickest thing I have ever used. It makes the bolt opperation smooth, I have used molly, Brian Enos lube and a host of others but this seams to be the best.

not so, minimal lubrication is all that's necessary

Re: bolt gun lube
Super lube is good stuff.
My wife works for MSC. and brings a lot of the samples home from the vendor. Both the grease and the oil is great. It is slick and good at high temps. Will make a bolt slide slicker than snot on a door knob.

Re: bolt gun lube
I wipe the bolt body down with CLP and wipe it off, then put a dab of TW25 on the back of the bolt lugs, camming surface and cocking ramp.
It works just fine.

Re: bolt gun lube
Militec-1 grease, slicker than snot. Not sure about now, but they used to send some to you free to try out. Google them and see, very good stuff.
okie

Re: bolt gun lube
Little more expensive but I sent my bolt off to get Black T'd and it is slicker than snot and stays dry. We have lots of dust as well. Just my .02.

There is only one location that I'm aware of for Birdsong finish and that's with Walter Birdsong.

Re: bolt gun lube
I like copper anti-sieze on the back of the lugs and any threads. Once she is broke in good, I go to grease
I just picked up some Wilson oil. Seems pretty good so far.
For light oil, G96.

Good stuff, and it will "bond" to the metal over time. Still about 2/3rds in the free cup I got a long time ago!

Re: bolt gun lube
Black-T or any other color is only available from Walter Birdsong. Better be patient though. It was worth the wait but damn it took a long time. I think it was around 10 weeks for the return. Like I said it was worth it though.

Re: bolt gun lube
I also use Wilson oil. I dont know if its the best but I ended up with a video after buying .45 way back and one part of the video is Bill Wilson showing off his gun oil. He rigged up a grinder and tension guage and put straight roller bearings in it. He demonstrated his oil against other popular brands and it was pretty impressive how little damage the bearing had using his oil.
