Blackbear.
I use, I think it's, Outer's Moly grease on all of my firearms. Comes in an itsy bitsy tube. Works well.
I look for wear spots in the action and apply there.

The only grease I use is RIG. On high pressure applications such as shotgun hinge pins I use RIG + P .

I use a automotive grease, specificly Lucas "Red 'N' Tacky" grease.

It is red in colour so it is easy to see where it has been placed in the firearm and it stays were you put it, it does not creep.
One 14oz cartridge should last any gun owner a bunch of lifetimes.
You can reload the grease dispencing syringe that gun grease is typically sold in.

I only use INOX and I put a small ammount on the bolt lugs. It is made here in OZ and approved by Dept of Health. What more do I need

I use Rig and the SIG moly grease that came with my PE90 on bolt bodies and internal threads. On bolt lugs I normally use a tiny dab of GMC camshaft assembly and breakin lube. It's very sticky, stays where you put it and is designed for preventing galling on high pressure applications. A Canadian benchrester/barrelmaker/riflebuilder put me onto this one.

blackbearhunter,
there is a product that is readily available in the U.S called Slicker produced by www.sharpshootr.com same maker as Wipeout! It is aerosol application with an evaporative agent which leaves a non sticky grease which bonds to any de-greased surface,I must stress that the surface that you are trying to lube must first be de-greased with a solvent otherwise this product will not work.
Once applied it dries rapidly leaving it tack free. It is approved by the US military for protecting all their SMG's and auto pistols..

For any grease application I use automotive Moly grease or else a small dab of STP. Both are inexpensive and work better than the overpriced "Gun Greases" that are avaliable. Bill T.
