Grease on tight guns - is it a "lapping compound"?

Here is mine. I use whatever grease I got a free sample of at the last gun show on the rails, hinge pins, cranes, etc. I use whatever oil I got a free sample of on action parts. Except when I use some grease for that, too. I prefer grease for most purposes as it stays put longer.

All my guns work fine. No lapping, no galling, no seizing.

Same. I use no fancy schmancy "oil/grease" of the week.

Aeroschell grease and Mobil 1 synthetic oil or CLP for oil. DONE. Effective, proven, CHEAP.

I love grease lube oil discussions. Yay! Can we break out pictures of rails with varying amounts of wear? Pretty please?

You are probably over paying for your lube. Who cares though. It’s your gun.

Personally I have a 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 that I use to top off my cars. It also fills up a lube bottle that will last me roughly, forever! I have a tube of inexpensive white grease I use where I want grease. It all works. Don’t bake with it though. Lol

Me too. It’s like with shaving and debates over lather and skin cancer. 99% of men with skin cancer shave, a doctor told me.
