My autoloaders ALL run Break free CLP, summer or winter.
Shotguns, rifles, handguns.

I suppose that means I've never exposed them to more than 105F and I've never cold-soaked them past -6F, but they have never failed to function, quarter century now.

I never "dry-lube" anything, on guns.

I "dry-lube" the primer feeds on loading presses (4) and the thru-door ice chute on the refrigerator.

 

Oil on exterior surfaces only on my Beretta Xtrema during duck season.

 

I now use, Dry slide graphite. I lubed a Moss 500 with oil and the hammer slowed down enough for a dented primer but a misfire. Rabbit 1 mossberg 500 , 0.

 

FP 10.....best stuff out there for lube.

 

I now use FP 10 and used Breakfree CLP for decades. Both of those products will work down to a lot colder than you want to hunt.

On that topic, the coldest temperatures I rabbit hunted in was back around 2009. It was somewhere around -47 F and I won't do that again. My huntin partners' Browning Gold and Mossberg 500 both froze up. My Citori with Breakfree worked fine. (I live in interior Alaska)

 

BreakFree. Worked in my Beretta SA at 18 below.

 

I've used fp 10 and break free. I prefer break free because it has no smell and I buy it in large quantities. With all autos with the recoil spring in the stock, keeping water, crud, and sludge out of the spring tube is essential for cold weather operation. I'm trying some Slip 2000 on some guns but I don't see it doing better than break free.

 

I would say CorrosionX, but true be told FP10 or CLP is probably about as good. Not quite, but about.

Don't over lube it. Based on my experience with SX3's (essentially the same gun) a puddle of lube the size of a pea soaked into a Qtip is about all you need for the inside of that gun.

 

Thank you guys .
I have lots of clip break free .

I agree 100% with this. I hunt Canada geese In January on a salt marsh where temps often get down to minus double digits Fahrenheit . that is all the lubrication my maxus stalker gets or needs .

 

Yes, even with CLP, Less is more.
Literally 3 drops lubes my BAR for 2 months.

^^^^^This is excellent advice! {RO

 

CLP, FP-10, and Militec have all worked well in temps below zero in my experience. I'll second using a light amount and placement is also key. With the Silver, you will want to make sure you clean and lightly lube the recoil/bolt return spring assembly in the stock.

 

Cleznzoil has always worked for me.
