Tw25b is a really good one.
Isn't that the grease that comes with a Sig?
There is another thread over in the Gunsmithing forum where the consensus is that Weaponshield is the way to go. I have looked at a bunch of YOuTube videos, and I am very intrigued and impressed. I have ordered some to try out.
WeaponShield is good stuff. It's the direct descendant of FP-10, which is also an excellent lube and CLP that George Fennell created.
Just for discussion, my Giessele trigger came with a sample of ALG Go-Juice lubricant. Don't think I've heard of it until then.
Mobil 1 Synthetic (10w30 to 20w50). The higher weight doesn't seem to run off as easy. And Mobil 1 synthetic bearing grease where grease is needed instead of oil. The amount of R&D that's went into Mobil 1 is so much higher than any of the "wonder gun lubes." No need to spend money on fancy lubes when Mobil 1 works so dang well. None of the lubes will break down before they're packed with fouling and need replaced anyway.
Just a few drops for the installation. I wasn't sure if it was an oil or a liquid grease, so I opened it up. I have my own opinions and methods for lubrication, but for the most part I use "Liberty Lube" as my "gun oil". There are places I use Tri-Flo or white lithium grease, and on some things I use TetraGun CLP aerosol. I've even gone so far as to soak some parts in Zmax....I got a small sample of it also when I bought a trigger. I have no idea what it costs but it seems to work just fine, have you tried it yet?
Since my Army days at Ft. Stewart in 82' to the present I run the AR bone dry. Can go about 1000 rounds before a good cleaning, but usually clean long before that. No problems out of any Colt I've had, or the M16's that we had.
That's typically when mine get cleaned - if they get cleaned - each year.guns now just usually get cleaned over Christmas vacation
It gets that cold here. Granted, most of us never go outside when that happens but often the dew point is high enough the frost will seize up the action and even well lubricated stuff can bind up.If you're in an environment where your lube freezes, that's probably one of your lesser concerns. By that time you'd be a meat popsicle

I am a Mechanical Engineer with a lot of experience with lube testing and I agree 100% with seedbubs!
I assemble the lower with Mobil shc 220 and the bcg with Mobil 1. These full synth greases are some of the slickest (lowest cf) out there and a film stays on the metal for a long time.
I only use what I used while I was serving my country, so its Milsurp CLP for me.
As a CLP, it's pretty good at C and P, not so much L. I typically use it on the inside of my pistol slides, the outside of the barrels, the outside of the guns, inside the AR upper, inside the 10/22 reciever, and my cleaning rods. I also use it on my RCBS press.....Just curious but what do you use tetra gun for? I used to use it constantly but have kind of strayed away from it "just because" however, I don't ever hear of many people using it.
