Lucas Gun Grease

[Mark M.]

Anybody use Lucas gun grease on their AR's, and how is it?

 

[GenePoole]

The only thing that touches my AR's is LSA. The Army got it right for once!

I've never used grease on any firearm.
Same reason it's not used on sliding surfaces on machine tools- traps and holds everything that touches it.

 

[Fuj]

No grease on AR's. As mentioned, mostly LSA. Will use
CLP in a pinch

 

[DGP4]

Only gun I have that gets greased is my Garand. Modern guns do not require grease and as stated above grease just attracts dirt. My go to lube in semi autos is synthetic ATF diluted with mineral spirits.

So you don't grease the bolt lugs? Bolt action of course

 

[GenePoole]

I don't. LSA on bolt lugs as well. I keep a small vial (the same as the one in an M16 buttstock compartment) in my kit, and apply a small dab on each lug right before a match. I don't know what's in it, but it is like a thicker, grease-like substance suspended in a light oil. Covers all the bases. Wipes away clean.

The main disadvantage of direct impingement is that the breech of the firearm's firing mechanism becomes fouled very quickly. Greasing the bolt lugs just adds a magnet to all that fouling to build up on the lugs and potentially causing an OOB.

How does one keep from galling the lugs?

 

[DGP4]

I'd say oiling it and cleaning frequently. Direct impingement systems are great but dirty!

Where do you buy the LSA oil

Especially when suppressed.

And M1-A

Sorry! Something went wrong!

On bolt action bolt lugs I use Dri-Silde.

Military surplus stores will have it. We have one where I
live. Also look up Castrol LAW military cold weather lube.

Hmm, shows in stock for me
