Dave,
Where do you get your plastilube? It looks like it comes in different grades or thicknesses. Are you using the thinnest "0" grade stuff?

Oh just spit on it

I use Mobil 1 thicker seems to work better. I also soak them in Kroil when new. Have used Mobil 1 sense my first SS lock up with Rem oil, to lite. I put Mobile one in needle oil bottles works great and cheap compared to this other stuff. But then again I use Hoppies #9.:D

I usually use whatever I have on the table from cleaning my rifle, which lately has been Slip 2000 EWL.

Slip, FP-10, CLP, Weaponshield, Rem Oil, oil of the dipstick when I'm in the field, I have never found a benefit for brand X over Y as long as they are good brands.

Dave,
Thanks for the tip and thanks for the picture. I've always only used quality gun oil so never really slick up the sides, usually just the top and let a little run into the sides. Your picture is worth a thousand words - Thanks.
Dennis

Alex, you see it all the time at Gunshows and probably don't realize it. Almost all the tables that sell American Milsurp parts have a box containing little clear tubs with yellow caps full of brown grease. Usually two for a dollar, that's Plastilube! Three dollars worth will last a year or so!

I am going to give it a try. I have never heard of it. Thanks Dave

You can also try Brian Enos's Slide-Glide, great stuff if I do say so myself!!!:D:D

I forgot to mention that MILITEC-1 is an excellent choice also, man how did I forget that one!!!!!:D:D
