If it slides grease it. Thats what the field manuals say.
Ive used lubriplate for decades now. Was invented to use on the Ma Deuce & M1 Garand & even the M-14.
Its white for a reason, to see debris getting into the slide.
With all the high tech grease out there, the Army still uses this.
Actually I heard that Froglube was developed by an ex-Navy SEAL and is used by the military now.
There's a guy that has made a corrosion video and FL won hands down.
I agree about Lubriplate - forgot all about it so thanks for the reminder.
I always beware Moly greases - people will tell you that it "bonds" to metal - it will, but only under if made to do so.
I was in the Air Force and we were given gallon cans of Molybdenum diSulfide powder to add to our greases, heavy oils and such. Some guy had put in a suggestion (they pay a bonus if accepted on savings) to add it to our expensive gearboxes and such for heavy ground radar. I noted that the stuff just lay there in the bottom so they hired a chemist who laughed and said even in suspension (grease) moly will not bond, nor add any surface protection. It has to be bonded during a special treating process to the metal surface to be of any use. Basically snake oil the way it's sold today. The theory of moly came about because the chemical structure looks like a roller bearing. It *is* useful in the same way that graphite is used - a dry lubricant.
Anyway - I never had much use for it after that. Best I can say is it won't hurt anything.
I ordered up a jar of the paste and the liquid - I'll let y'all know what I think. One of the things that others are saying is that it also keeps the bore clean and cleanup is a breeze.
