If you’re looking for a good gun grease, I recommend an NLGI #0 thickness. This is perfect for gun use, being thick enough to stay where it’s put and thin enough to allow closely fitted parts to operate in both cold and heat. I also recommend that you buy only aluminum-based greases for their resistance to oxidation. Lithium greases are far more common and very cheap, but they oxidize and solidify very rapidly. Aluminum greases are more stable over a longer period of time.

One of the benefits of buying industrial lubricants is that you can choose one that delivers some very particular characteristics. A few years ago I was contacted by a firearms instructor from the police department of a large west coast city. He needed a recommendation for a general-purpose gun oil and was having trouble meeting a specific criteria. They were having trouble finding an oil that had good lubricating properties, good anti-corrosion protection, and was considered non-toxic. All of the gun oils they had submitted to their purchasing department were rejected due to perceived toxicity issues.
