I polished my barrel last night and need to get some lube for it before I go and shoot it next. What kind are you using?

I just spray a cloth with wonder lube and wipe it down.

I always use Militec, but most any lube is fine.

Do you use the Militec-1 or the Grease?

Since the polishing I use a bit of Gun Butter GREASE on the barrel.
A touch of Gun Butter oil on the rails.

The Best Firearm Lubricant - Gun Butter

How about a pic of that barrel?

I have a little more work to do on it. The flat part looks good, but the barrel needs some more polishing. I just ran out of time. I have a three-year old that wanted to go to the zoo. I used a brass brush bit to get the black off of the barrel. That went alot faster. I will post some pics soon. I want to do some of the other parts next. Trigger, mag release, slide stop etc.
