Lube and Grease thread

[titanse05]

Thanks for sharing this info for the 1911 newbies. I prefer the use of FP10 exclusively on my 1911s for the exception of a small amount of grease on the sear/disconnector when doing a complete breakdown. Grease doesn't stay put on the rails of my tightly fitted 1911s.

Titan, it may be the Grease you tried, my Frame/slide fit is very tight, I have no problems. FP10 is a good lube and that's all that matters.

I do the pretty much the same except I run a cutup Remoil patch down the bore (humid here in Dixie) and use Ultimalube Universal on the rails.

Nice thread, .

Good step by step illustrations.

As far as the bore, Schuemann Barrels says the same thing, just firing rounds will eventually get the bore shinny?

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?

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!
