Good Video, thanks.

Not related, but I performed this lubricant "corossion" test a few years ago:

Between the two, I am not really sure, but this is what I use and recommend.

I haven't tried those but the Militec that Bills and Striechers sells seems pretty good.

No love for Slip 2000 or Weapon Shield? I use TW25b on the carrier slides and bolt and slobber Slip on anything else that moves. WS clp for bore and general wipe down.

Just started using Slip2000 and it's some slick stuff. Shooters Choice FP10 is good too.

Is Slip black? Anyone know of a gun lubricant that's black?

The really well used BMW oil is the black stuff.

I believe Brownell's Action Lube is black.

All my guns are lubed with Lubriplate.

as a chemical engineer. Nothing has as good corrosion inhibition as a 60/40 mix of a Clay based greased and mineral spirits. (Mixed properly of course)

It works as a lubricant and corrosion inhibitor. Last around 1500-2000hrs in a salt spray chamber.

It's was I do for work

Pictures are of 1010 Steel Panels after the rust started to show approx. 1500 hrs without amine additives to the mix which would increase the corrosion inhibition ability an additional 300-400 hrs at a 5% add.

Just your basic military clay based grease and mineral spirits

But how does it do lubricant performance wise?

Cosmoline is awesome for corrosion too, but i wont run that in my gun.

I run this exact formulation on my glock and AR bolt carrier group.. Never had an issue

I would say it has the same viscosity of 5w30

Anybody use fireclean? I have heard good stuff about it and am considering checking it out.
