Gun Butter

[ramtough47]

Can anyone expound on this lubricant? Just heard about it and went to the website, but i would like to hear from glock user and those that have tried it and what they think.

I have been using Gun Butter for the past 6 or 7 months and it is the only lube I use, in fact every gun that leaves my shop it lubed with it. Gun Butter was developed by Boeing Aircraft chemists who are shooters, they wanted to make a lube that would work in the most extreme environments and last a long time. These guys are competitive shooters who just wanted to make a lube for themselves and did not plan on selling it, they have access to some of the most advanced components around that have to work in all temperatures and environmental situations.

Gun Butter has the best adhesion of any lube or grease on the market and very little is needed and it stays where it is put, it will not wear off, burn off or run and migrate where you don't want it. It also has a rare quality in that it does not attract dirt and firing debris and prevents carbon build up especially in gas operated guns. A lot of people look at the price and small quantity and say it is a rip off but that little bottle will last you as long as a 6oz bottle of any other synthetic gun lube. It is 100% synthetic and will not oxidize like Break Free, FP-10 or other mineral based oils and unlike Mil Tech does not require you to heat treat the gun and lube to bond into the pores of the steel. Just remove all other lube from the metal, apply a small thin film and your done. Many people say it feels like the slide is on ball bearings, this is noticed best on a tightly fit 1911 where improper lube will lock up the gun, but you will feel a difference on a Glock too. And you will see the difference when you field strip the gun for cleaning, the lube is still their just like when you applied it and the dirt will just wipe off with a rag, even after 500 or 600 rounds of continuous shooting.

Well off my soap box, try it and you will not go back to any other lube.

Used it all Summer season and Fall. Probably put 5-7K thru a G34 run exclusively with it. Hated to pay the asking price but it does own up to its claims. Not only does it do an excl. job of not migrating, it also picks up very little in the way of powder residue or carbon, etc. Personally never use any solvent on Glocks, except for the bore and sometimes the feed-ramp. Most of the times have wiped the GB off the parts was simply to make it easier to handle them, as generally completely strip frame and slide when cleaning as inspect entire pistol also. All that needs to be done is smear the tiniest amount here and there with the excl. needle bottle it comes in. Once switched over to GB have only "touched-up" the lube just before a Match, etc.

The bottle I have is barely 1/8th. empty and have recently begun using it on 1911's.

There's always a "latest and greatest" lube but this one is worth trying! Great Stuff!

Thanks guys. I have a bottle on the way.

I agree with everything said above ;a

It made the action on my AR and Glock much smoother,,,Iam glad my Miltec was a free sample

I've tried just about every snake oil out there, any difference is minimal and most likely mental. Breakfree works and is cheap(Mobil 1 is an even better value), never had a lube related failure on any firearm.

I too have used about everything out there and to that end, I've ordered a bottle of GB that will be here next week. I'm pretty happy with Tetra oil and grease so we shall see.

BTW, is there a difference between GB and their other product, Bike Butter? I suspect they're the same thing.

I have now tried the gun butter on my AR yesterday and I put about 120 rounds of dirty wolf thru it. When I got home I checked the action parts and they were kinda dry like and I could not see any oil anywhere. In fact it just looks like I never put any oil anywhere at all. I dont know if that is the way it is suppose to be or what. There was a little powder residue but the action worked ok, but not as slick as it was before I shot the gun.

I did notice that the oil did stay where you put it and it did not run or spread around like some oil. I put it on my glock and it stayed where you put it, that is a nice feature.

I have not decided if the price is worth it tho,,,a quart of Mobil syn oil would be hard to beat in price if it works just as well, but I have not used mobil-1 yet and I just may try it.

I might add that the post above that are positive about gun butter state that the oil is still in the action after a shooting session. Im my case I could not find any oil in the gun that was left over, it appeared to have been soaked up by the power residue or something. I ran my finger down the bolt where it rides on the reciever and and my finger was dry. I will check again later on today and look closely but right now I got to grout some tile in my closet, but I'd rather be messin with my guns LOL LOL oh well !!!!

When you put GB around the barrel of your Glock Let it sit for a a couple of minutes then fell the barrel again it fells dry it is there you don't see it or fell it. Spray some baby powder on the barrel then blow it off. Now try that with your Mobil-1 or just about any of the other oils you can use on guns.

Interesting, I will try that,,,,,,so then the gun butter, shall we say, drys out, and the fine dust and powder residue doesnt stick to gun butter, like other oils, but the lubricity is still present between the moving parts. And that is why I dont see any evidence of gun butter in the various action parts of the gun???

Gun Butter does not dry out at all, even in high temperature environments like the AR-15, it remains just like it was applied. Being completely synthetic it is not affected by temperature. It does repel dirt and firing residue and does not allow carbon to adhere to the base metal like other lubes including other synthetics.

Does anyone know where I can find a detailed description of how to do the initial application of this product on a glock, how to clean it after shooting, and how to properly re-apply after cleaning? The web sites desciption of how to do it on a 1911 was a bit confusing and left a lot to be desired. Im interested in using this, I just really only know how to clean my glock with hopps #9 and rem oil.

thanks for any help, im new to handguns.

The best way to apply Gun Butter is to degrease the rails and slide ways, then apply a small amount to the slide ways and frame rails, reassemble and work the slide about 10 times. If you applied enough it should be evenly distributed if not apply more to the dry areas, only a very light coating is needed. Do the same to the barrel and locking lug but use your finger to evenly apply or spread it around the barrel and a drop in the top of the slide where the upper locking lug slides back and forth during cycling of the slide.

If you do not remove all the old oil with a degreaser you will be mixing the Gun Butter with the old existing oil and you will not get the full benefit of Gun Butter.

When you clean the gun you will only need to reapply the amount you wipe off and if it isnot dirty just leave it.
