ohbejuan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looking at the collective opinions about everyone's favorite lube/oil for their Benelli. Since Noveske is one of the top end barrels for AR's, I've stuck with their recommended choice for all of my firearms, KG Oil. Love me some KG-4 http://www.kgcoatings.com/firearm-related-products/rifle-pistol-pack/ Available at MidwayUSA also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12508 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 FP-10 or the oil the gun comes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowatwr Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Slip 2000 with some Lubriplate SFL-0 on the rails. I have never used KG-4, but KG-12 is hands down the best copper remover I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 FIREClean, and I wouldn't buy any stainless Noveske barrels right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I use what I use on my M14/M1A rifles. Grease. Rifle grease to be specific, either lubriplate 130A or plastilube. The recoil spring gets oil, the FP channel gets a drop or two of oil. The bolt gets a few drops of oil prior to insertion into the carrier, but the outside of the bolt carrier and tail gets greased.

Vertigofirearms Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Very interesting variety we have so far. I will definitely be testing out some of your recommendations. I am using MPRO-7 right now for internals; and the nationwide notorious Frog Lube for external surface. So no issues with this combo (in a very dry, drought ridden California) I do have Lubriplate and LPS-1 at my place of employment, as well as Starrett Instrument Oil for my micrometers. EDIT: My biggest dissatisfaction with Frog Lube and MPRO-7 is that I cannot obtain any lab certifications from an accredited association.

What would you like to know? FrogLube, I am not fond of. Like most vegetable type oils it turns to elmer's glue in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The ants really liked Froglube. They marched in to my safe and ate it off everything I applied it to. Usually I just use Machinegunners lube and Brian Enos' slide glide grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most vegetable type oils it turns to elmer's glue in a few months. Never mind, i found (some) useful information in the MSDS. However, I didn't see ISO Viscosity Grade given for each.

ParadigmShift Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I use FrogLube inside and out. No problems. Easy clean ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found viscosity to matter very little, personally. What is your specific reason for wanting to know viscosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigofirearms Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I've found viscosity to matter very little, personally. What is your specific reason for wanting to know viscosity? Several weeks ago while at my place of employment, I was switching out the chuck on our CNC lathe. I started asking something about the oils, coolants, and greases. That turned into a sixty minute lecture from the Engineer about what goes on what on the machine, why it goes there, and what happens when the wrong type of liquid is used. EDIT: I pretty much accomplished nothing to answer your question. In short, the viscosity is all relative to the friction coefficient (the amount of resistance two things display when sliding against each other) , wear, and longevity of the liquid used.

Unobtanium Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Several weeks ago while at my place of employment, I was switching out the chuck on our CNC lathe.

That turned into a sixty minute lecture from the Engineer about what goes on what on the machine, why it goes there, and what happens when the wrong type of liquid is used. A CNC lathe is different from a firearm. Is different from a vehicle. I think that the viscosity aspect is over-thought on a firearm, and the simple "if it slides it gets grease, if it rotates it gets oil" is out-dated by the creation of better EP additives as well as the complication that in the firearm world, often "sliding" means "floating", such as is the case with the M4 Benelli carrier. It may slide, but really, it floats if you think about the tolerances involved. Les Baer recommends CLP on their pistol slide/frame interface. Benelli ships with a bottle of rather thin oil. Pat Rogers and many others use a CLP type product on the M4 carbine SIG has recommended things from TW25B grease to Militec-1 oil (junk, IMO). I have pistols (same model) that shipped with both from the factory. I think in the firearm world lubricant viscosity is over-thought.

Vertigofirearms Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I do agree with your above statements.. It is over thought, these guns are not high accuracy precision instruments like my micrometers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
