    From the rust testing I've seen, Militec tends to do very poorly in this area. It's a lube, not a rust inhibitor. I would look at Eezox to prevent rust.

    Any lube is better than none.

    If given the option, I usually grab Slip 2000 EWL, but have also had good luck with Gunbutter.

    I also tend to use a lot of generic white lithium grease; TW25B and XF7 also work well.

    Militec and CLP have left a bad taste in my mouth and I try to shy away from them if other options are available.

    I like Butch's Gun Oil the best, but not for any hard-core scientific reasons or anything.

    There's some on the filing cabinet next to me. I think there's a bottle of FP-10 in my range bag.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    I have used TW25B for a very long time but have heard such great things about Militec that I was going to switch and try it out. Could you please elaborate.

    Thank you.

    I never have to buy lube again.
    I use ATF as well, it's cheap and works well.

    I use Militec-1 and to Protect Corrosion-X...used the Corr. X at work on some very expensive test equipment(harsh environment's) with great result's no rust or any oxidation.

    Froglube

    I'm exclusively using Froglube for now, and I love it so far. The liquid and paste (grease/not a grease?) are exceeding my expectations. It cleaned my weapons much better than I expected. I live in an exceedingly hot & humid place, and there is great corrosion resistance. It makes the moving parts slick and smooth. Bonus - I can pick up my newborn with Froglube on my hands, and I don't need to worry about it being hazardous to him.
