I am setting here with 5 or 6 bottles of Militec-1 dry lube for weapons. Has anyone used this stuff on there rifles or pistols and how good is it ?

I have been told not to use it but others have told me it was good stuff.

So what do you guys thing ?

    We use dry lube only on suppressed weapons.

    Keeps the cans cleaner and extends the life.

    Does it do any harm to the weapon ?

    I have militec 1 on a couple guns. It's very smooth.

    Seems to make nylon sticky, though, so don't use it on the outside of a handgun you're going to put in a nylon holster.

    So you have no problems with it and it works as advertised ?

    Yes.



    Instruction say to lube up the weapon with this stuff and warm the weapon up to operating temp, and repeat. Is that how it works best ?

    I use molytech (poly) crap! now i cant remember...either way it feels like a semi dry graphite, spread it real thin and its pretty much a dry lube....works really really good on my pistol and my bolt guns.

    I have used "Dry-Slide". It works good and has been around forever. It is messy to apply when liquid. I am not sure that dry-lubs give as much corrosion protection as gun oil. It does not collect dust and gum up.
