I'd like to discuss grease. I think it's pretty close-enough on topic to stay in this thread, no?
I've heard certain guns (or types of guns) ought to be greased, rather than oiled. Which guns (or types of guns) are these? And which types of grease do people use?
Warp, what is it about CLP and RemOil that you dislike?
FWIW, I've always used RemOil, but have never been happy with it. I store my guns somewhere between wet and dry, and when pulling them out, they're always dry.
I want to switch to something else, just not sure what.
I've never had it to happen in over 40 years of using it. As I've said before, I go through a lot of it on bluing day. For regular maintenance, I use RemoilCareful with WD40. It will gum up fairly quickly in some environmental conditions.

In the mid '70s I worked for a very large Caterpillar dealer. I primarily rebuilt cylinder heads. Heads that were to be put directly on engines, got lubed (valve stems and guides)with 30w engine oil. Those that were destined to be put into inventory (and may not be sold for months)got lubed with a 50/50 mix of 30w oil and STP oil treatment. The mix stayed on the parts indefinitely preventing a dry start up. I sometimes use it on guns but haven't in a while.one part mobil1 5-30w, one part STP oil treatment, 2 parts ATF.
