Gun Butter question.....

[Tempest]

Would this stuff work ok for where it says "apply grease here" on new rifles..? instead of thick grease...

What rifle? An M1 or M1A? Those do require a thicker grease in certain areas for wear control. A good quality oil will be fine for other guns and other surfaces.

Gunbutter is just crazy WAY too expensive.

That is the operative statement. Sadly, 90%+ of the oils on the gun market are just simple oils that either evaporate or burn up too fast, forcing you to reapply often.

GunButter is expensive because it is the best. If used correctly, it will actually save you money because you use so little and it lasts so long.

+1 Thank you OldSchool. I had to tuck my kids into bed, but my delay gave way your better reply.

Kudos

Now that I will give you. However, I just don't see what makes this stuff so expensive. Slip2000, Weapon Shield, FP10, Eezox...these are all in that top 10% and don't cost near what GB does. And I have a really good idea what is in these products and how they work. Most of the information on the GB site is simple marketing blah...blah...

I want to have some idea of what I am buying if I'm going to pay prices like this (top shelf motor oil goes for $6 a quart and is superior to bottom 90% of gun oils). Do they have an MSDS? What kind of Anti-wear or Extreme pressure additives do they have to protect the metal to metal contact in the boundary conditions found in a gun? Are they using some type of polyol ester for a base oil? It's about the only thing that could cost this much in a lubricant, maybe.

And why don't they offer it in larger quantities?

I have tried all of the mentioned product and not one comes close to GunButter. I don't know what is in the product and I don't care. What I do care about is that one bottle lasts me two years.

Unlike the products you mentioned that run all over the place, GunButter stays put. You can use that product and after 2000 rounds, you can see where it remains. The other stuff would have been gone long ago.

In the end, folks should spend their money on the products they are comfortable with. If a quart of Mobile One is your choice, go with it. For me, on all of my guns, I will never use anything else but GunButter. This from a guy that has over a dozen bottles of other options sitting around.

Have you seen this? Of all of the products on the market, Todd Jarrett selected only one lubricant during this brutal test: DOWN RANGE TELEVISION with Michael Bane - Show #1: 1-ON-1 with Todd Jarrett

I paid (probably overpaid) at a gun shop just under $10 for a 10 oz spray Rem oil and a 1 fl. oz. bottle of liquid Rem Oil about a year ago and I'm not even half way through either...

How long does Gun Butter last? I ask because I clean my guns every time I shoot. I don't run a brush through the barrel every time, sometimes just a patch or two to clean it out, and then re-lube. If it goes more than a couple days without any shooting, I will add a drop to each side of the rails on the 1911. The XD, I don't worry about...I field strip to blow the dust/lint out of it from carrying it, but it hardly ever gets any lube between cleanings.

REMOIL is water compared to GunButter. A bottle will last you a very long time, as you don't need to remove it everytime you clean your gun.

So using GB, I would only need to clean the bore, the feed ramp, and the inside of the receiver (magazine well/tube)?

I'm just used to cleaning the rails, the inside of the slide, the locking block, everything really...

My brother and I have been sharing the same bottle of GB for 3 years before we used it up. That was over 50K rounds and probably hundreds of cleanings. A little goes a long way. And for those that don't see the value in the $10 GB, then your missing out on a great product.
