Good thread Dave. I see you have a 10-8 armorer's block too. I use mine a lot.

Though I haven't tried it, I hear Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30 motor oil makes a great lubricant for the 1911. Thoughts?

I bought a qt, but haven't tried it.

Guys, it wasn't my intent to turn this into a 'My lube is better than yours' or even a 'This is the only way to do it' thread. It's basically a thread to show new guys and such, where to lube and how I do it.

Doesn't matter if you use what I use, what somebody else uses or if you have success rubbing the rails with Vietnamese Potbelly-Pig fat. Nor is the way I showed the only way.

Please, I had no intent to turn this into a debate.

ooooooh.... vietnamese potbelly pig fat..... ROFLMBO!!! now that is Funny!!!

Dave, you just posted a very good thread, don't worry about it:) Mike

sorry it took so long to answer Hoss, I love mine best tool investment I've made in a long while. Damned thing has more uses than a Swiss-Army Knife!

Thank you for posting this.
