Militech1 product

[talon]

Hello,
I just received a free sample of the Militech1 synthetic oil and grease.. Seems like a good product.

Anyone familiar with it? Have you used it on your firearms?

Peace

Militech1 is OK, bet I prefer ""eezox"""(CHECK OUT ON WEB) it is less exspensive and as good or better.

Nice lubrication properties makes the action work well but not very good rust protection. You have to apply Miltec 1 then heat up the metal in an oven or with a heat gun to make Miltec stick. Even after doing that it is not good enough rust protection for a daily carry piece that lays against your body. I use the Eezox and have no rust problems.

Hello CZAKboy and justplainbill,

Thanks for the thoughts , Where would be a good p[lace to purchase eezox? Also I read that it tends to be sticky at first, any problems with the slide etc.? What don't you like about eezox? (if anything)

Ive pretty much use Kroil and Shooters choice (and within the past couple of years BFCLP)for a very long time now and have always been comfortable with results.

But the militech1 and now the eezox has caught my attention,

Peace
Tal~

talon: EEZOX has a website where you can order. It is sticky if you put too much on, better to give several small coats rather than one big one. Let it set overnight and whipe off excess. Good to use on any metal, ie: stainless steel kitchen appliances (stove, range, refrig etc) no fingerprints . No particular dislikes. I got a 4 oz size about three months ago and have used it on a lot of my guns, kitchen , and the stainless outdoor BBQ. It lasts a long time. Good stuff, check out the web site!!! PS: i HAVE NO INTEREST IN EEZOXOTHER THAN BEING A SATISFIED USER.

okay this eezox stuff sounds like a good product can it be found in a gun shop or sporting goods store?

I have not seen it any gunstores!!! Maybe someone else has, but I got it first at a gun show and have been hooked ever sense. I have seen it on ebay, give that a try!

I have personally used Militech-1 for a few years now...I use it on all my firearms as well as my nice knives. I will stand by it and prefer it.

From their site:

CHARACTERISTICS: MILITEC-1 Synthetic Metal Conditioner has the unique ability to create a complex, molecular compound within the surface of heated gunmetal. This causes MILITEC-1 to become part of the metal, not merely a temporary coating or a boundary film. There are two main characteristics of this safe new compound. First, it seals and conditions the metal by stiffening (not hardening) the metal surface. Second, it makes the gunmetal self-lubricating under all environmental conditions.

SELF-LUBRICATION: After a complete application, a MILITEC-1 conditioned firearm is self-lubricating. Self-lubrication gives the firearm's gunmetal the dry lubricity that is required for sustained fire under all environmental conditions. If exposure to dust, sand, or extreme cold is a concern, all excess MILITEC-1 must be wiped away, leaving the firearm's surface metal clean, dry, and constantly lubricated. Please note: Complete corrosion protection and self-lubrication is attained only after both Step One and Step Two (below) are completed.

PREPARATION: To take full advantage of MILITEC-1's unique properties, start with a clean firearm. Although MILITEC-1 contains a mild detergent that will help with subsequent cleaning, there are no solvents or other hazardous materials in MILITEC-1, so it cannot remove old caked-on fouling and build-up from other lubes. Thus, if a firearm is dirty, you must clean it with a solvent before you proceed. Normal fieldstrip cleaning should be perfectly adequate. If possible, remove the handgrips, clean and prepare.

INITIAL TREATMENT: Applying MILITEC-1 to a firearm for the first time is a two-step process: (1) Application and (2) Firing.

STEP ONE: APPLICATION. Now that the firearm is clean and dry, apply a light film of MILITEC-1 to all surfaces, including the bore. Burnish/polish MILITEC-1 into exterior surfaces by rubbing rapidly using a cloth lightly dampened with MILITEC-1. Sparingly apply drops into the action, concentrating on springs, moving parts and metal-to-metal contact areas. If your firearm has a magazine, be sure to apply MILITEC-1 both inside and out. Leave a very light film of MILITEC-1 on all surfaces during reassembly. Now proceed to Step Two.

STEP TWO: FIRING. Once you fire your weapon enough times to reach operating temperatures, the heat and friction will activate MILITEC-1, strengthening the bonding process that was started in Step One. While firing, MILITEC-1 creates a self-lubricating, water-repelling, dry compound within the gunmetal.

Additional Application Instructions: If Step Two is not immediately possible, consider applying low heat to the firearm to facilitate the bonding process until you can perform Step Two. In field conditions, place your lubed firearm in the sun underneath black plastic or a similar ventilated heat source for at least two hours. Alternatively, you may use a heat gun, hairdryer, burnishing or polishing tool to heat the gunmetal. In heat controlled environments, do not exceed 150° F (65° C). In all applications that require heat to condition the firearm, always insure proper ventilation and wear protective clothing. Please consult our MSDS for additional information.

ULTIMATE PROTECTION: To maximize the effects of MILITEC-1, repeat Step One and Step Two while the firearm is still hot from the first firing session. MILITEC-1's impregnated molecular bond intensifies during the next 2-3 applications on hot gunmetal. MILITEC-1 has now become a physical part of the gunmetal.

SUBSEQUENT APPLICATIONS: It is important to continue using MILITEC-1 to lubricate your firearm throughout its normal service life. Consistent use of MILITEC-1 will maintain the self-lubricating effect, maximize corrosion protection, and minimize wear on all friction surfaces. Fouling, deposits and metallic debris do not adhere as easily to gunmetal surfaces conditioned with MILITEC-1. Use a safe, inexpensive cleaner or solvent to detail the firearm, if necessary. For maximum corrosion protection, and especially if long-term storage is anticipated, leave a very light film of MILITEC-1 on all surfaces, after both steps or field application procedures are completed.

APPLICABILITY: MILITEC-1 is recommended for all pistols, shotguns, rifles, automatic weapons, tank guns and artillery of all calibers and sizes. Note: MILITEC-1 will alleviate jamming due to tight tolerances
