johnnytheboy Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I had tetra grease for chokes and hinge pins etc and it seems to have seperated and is really iffy looking so I’m just looking for any recommendations for decent grease? I have copper slip I don’t mind chucking on semi autos etc but wanted something less messy for my over under! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hoppes No 9 gun grease. A smudge on the chokes, a smudge on the knuckles and a little dab behind each ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it and have never had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I use Schmierfix grease from Alan Rhone. About £6 a tube which lasts about 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I stopped using the tetra grease years ago after all the issues they seemed to have regarding corrosion. Do a google search on it . Dont know if it’s any different now days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Copper slip but just a thin film. Designed to handle heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Lucas red gun oil for chokes, Lucas red grease for hinge pin and knuckle, both off fleabay. Oil should last around 6 years, grease for about 20 years, that is the length of time mine has lasted used on 7 guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I don't think the type is of great importance. What is important is to move/take them out regularly and keep everything clean and lightly oiled/greased. Troubles almost invariably start with lack of regular take out and clean/re-lubricate.

Tested to 280ºc, if my gun gets that hot I've got bigger problems on my hands. When it gets dirty clean it off with thinners and a toothbrush, allow to dry then reapply.

And cost! I don’t see how there can be, white grease is only made of two components, white soap and mineral oil! This tetra grease is only white grease now that I realise the problem with it which is the mineral oil seperating from the soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 It is American but all good gun shops should stock it I would think. It lasts years so I haven’t bought any for donkies years. Hoppes made all sorts of shooting oils products; I hope they haven’t folded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
