Anybody use this on their guns? Need some to secure my barrel to my upper reciever and wondering if I need this or if blue is strong enough.

I haven't used it specifically for that, there is a heat rating listed on their website and I don't remember it off the top of my head. With that said I used blue first to attach the front night sight on my Glock 19 and it was loose after 100 rounds, used red and it hasn't budged since. Not sure how the temperature would compare although I assume it would be considerably lower for my application. If you can't find the info you need I'd suggest emailing a manufacturer, they have to use something.

I believe u just use the one that was already with the weapon. I put this on a ruger lcp 380 Crimson trace.....easy to install...looks and feels great. I just recently started carrying a gun due to rise in crime. It's a great purchase....I did not order any special pin.....slips on with no prob...good luck.

It is a very stout mount, to try to bend it to get it over your barrel would be risky. I would try to find a 2 piece unit or have one made. But for the price you could get one and if you brake it or deform it beyond use you are not out a lot of money. Good luck

Either would work. I bought this and it has never given me any problems. Its sturdy and it does the job well, a breach cable would serve the same purpose though, maybe more effectivly so, because at that point you wouldnt even be able to load the weapon.

Yeah, there's a bit of truth in that. It does gunk up a bit more/faster. However, it also stays in place better. It depends on what your application(s) are for it, but the hotter or more friction-y the area, the more good the thicker stuff will do for you. The EWL30 is too gunky for an AR bolt carrier group. But I like a couple of small drops of it on Glock slide rails. When I first got it I was using it for everything, but I gradually scaled it back. Nowadays I mostly use it on other things, such as knives, door hinges, various home projects, etc. I've moved back to lighter lubricating products on my guns. Except that, as noted, I do like the EWL on pistol slides. I also use it on my M1 Garand, where it's actually very useful. So overall, I don't think there's a 100 % clear answer to your question, but you could probably do without it if you have other, lighter duty lubricants that work for you. I use Fireclean for about 90 % of my gun cleaning needs now. Anyway, hope that helps, good luck with whichever product(s) you settle on.

I use Ren on all my collectible revolvers, regardless of Blued or Nickel with excellent results. A small amount goes a long way and it will not harm the finish. I hand apply and hand buff and never use any type of power buffer. A soft microfiber cloth to buff works wonders.

Nothing, I mounted this on my home defense shot gun. Don't plan on taking it off. If you're worried about a scratch maybe you could put a wrap of tape around the barrel. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

I do not use lube with any pistol brass. Doesn't go in far enough to crush anything. Still need to lube rifle brass, due to the length of the brass in the die and necking. So if it's a carbide die and rifle brass still need lube.

I leave the stock/receiver end as is, the lube is shielded behind the external surfaces of this section. I put a zip-lock type plastic bag over the barrel, receiver end, to prevent transfer of any lube into the soft material of the case. Cover both ends if your gun is such that both ends could transfer lube to the case.

I bought it to use on my browning pellet gun. It works great on it. Have not had any trouble with it and it fits tightly with out any slippage on the barrel. Just make sure and get the right size to fit your barrel.

I would not recommend it due to an experience I had using this product.It contains two solvents. One of them, "heptane" is rather agressive and will eat into plasticsas it did on my bicycle when I used it on my chain. Some of it dripped onto the plastic chain protector ring and stained it.It would not rub off due to it's eating into the surface of the plastic.If your gun has plastic grips or accessories, I would steer clear of this product.FWIW, the list of uses shown on the product label does not include firearms.

Oh yeah.., Generally speaking silicone sprays, like WD-40, are used to displace water, lubricate and provide some rust protection on locks, tools, and metallic moving parts. I bought it to use on my BB and Pellet rifles. They are both over 70 years old and I didn't want to risk spraying the barrels and seals with something too harsh a solvent. This, I believe was recommended for its relatively benign composition. By the way, both rifles are working astonishingly well for being so old. The seals appear to allow significant air pressure to build so the FPS blast of air fires that BB and pellet with a lot of power. I believe I am getting at least 600 of FPS out of a manufactured design of 760.., way back when. As they say.., 'they sure don't build them like they use to'. Gary

The barrel/slide end entends beyond the mount on my Glock .40 by about a half inch so there should be no risk of melting the mount. Though not mentioned, the mount sits high enough off the top of the slide on my Glock to allow me to utilize the factory sights. it is a nice piece of equipment, better than I hoped it would be.

I have two. One mounted under the steering column in my car, used when a gun is not welcome when going inside somewhere. The other on the side of a side table where I sit and watch TV during evenings. I use them both for small and mid sized glocks. They hold so well that you need to determine in advance how to remove. For example, a pre-determined twist of the hand or a push off using the barrel. The same would hold true for any smaller gun.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

Get your gun tapped for screws by a gunsmith if you're set on mounting a rail. The receiver is aluminum so don't tighten the screws too tight and use blue locktite to keep them from coming loose.

It's very sturdy. Have a gunsmith help with the location and make sure you have a bottom tap to tread with. Use blue loc title and you will be good to go. I love my over the bolt rail mount.
