Eyesa Horg Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Title says it all. Also, which Mobil 1 grease do you all like for BP. I have Clenzoil on hand and M-Pro 7 LPX which states on the msds that it has petroleum distillates, couldn't find anything on Clenzoil. Goin to the darkside for the first time this Sunday.

Dusty Coalhopper Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I always thought I was bit weird, but as this would otherwise NEVER come up otherwise, I'll declare here, paraffin based Automatic Transmission Fluid is liberally used on all my cap and flint locks as well as my C&B actions.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 OP first you asked about oil weight. Then you say grease. Which is it, or both. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Thank you folks. Looks like 5w-20 on the oil and red grease if needed. I've used a Valvoline synthetic grease on my C&B arbors. But having not ever shot BP out of my Marlin or my Rugers, thought oil would be a better product. Much Obliged, Eyesa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't understand using this at first either, but it was suggested to me when shooting my 51's/60's C&B's to use some on the base pin to help prevent binding when using real black. Afterwards, I found it easier to cleanup. No caked on fouling. Same thing when I used it in the guts of the gun. I used to use olive oil, but then I would have weird cravings for freshly sliced tomato's with mozzarella and basil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 PLUS ONE to Phantom . . . . Except I shoot Cap Guns. Or Open Tops. Use Mobil 1 Grease on the Arbors. Tube of that will last a Long long long long . . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attica Jack #23953 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I use Mobil 28 grease and Mobil 1 20/50. Mobil 28 grease is similar to Brian Enos slide glide, but cheaper, it is used in the aircraft field. The grease stays where you put it and it works.

Grease is generally used for heavy load applications or where one needs long time application. In an open environment that's rather exposed to contaminants, it a poor lube. If you never fire or clean your guns...I guess grease is good. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I prefer (Mobil 1 red) grease for heavy pressures that are not exposed to dirt and blow-back. So it works very well on rifle levers, the internal links. pistol arbors, and even the hammers of my rifle and 97's. It is definitely a superior lubricant, but as Phantom says, in open places it gathers just which can become a grinding compound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
