OK sports fans, simple question here:
What's a light but 'staying' grease for gun interiors?
I'm about to tear down a new to me Taurus 605 to clean interior and relube. Couple guys in that thread said 'lube of your choice'....
I've always just used Hoppe's oil, or 3 IN ONE oil in my guns, and wiping them well after significant cycling. When I rebuilt engines, I'd coat everything with white lithium grease on assembly and change oil after about 100 miles. Those engines ran 90000-100000 miles before I sold them.
Reference being that if I clean and degrease a gun's interior, a little light grease might protect things pretty well and eventually be replaced by gun oil as needed. So, when I clean the interior of my new 605, I'm thinking a light coating of light grease on contact points might serve well, and eventually be dissolved by gun oil, if at all. I suspect by then I'll be well cremated, and it won't be my problem.....
Any other comments?
