  • Do I have to get the old lube off first?

    Some lubes can leave a residue that may par􀆟ally block MILITEC-1®’s effectiveness. If you’ve used older lubes extensively, or if your firearm is very dirty, it’s a good idea to clean it thoroughly with a good quality solvent before your first application of MILITEC-1®.

  • How does Militec-1® work in extreme weather?

    MILITEC-1® has been tested extensively in the sweltering jungles of Panama and Colombia, the frigid winters of Alaska and Minnesota, the dry blowing dust and sand of Desert Storm, and the soggy rain of Great Britain, Puget Sound and New England. In all these condi􀆟ons, MILITEC-1 ® weapons fired first time, every time.

  • Why does Militec-1® cost so much?

    It doesn’t! MILITEC-1® is extremely concentrated. A single 1 oz. bottle of MILITEC-1 ® usually lasts far longer than a 4 oz. bottle of other lubes.

  • How does Militec-1® compare with other firearms lubricants?

    MILITEC-1® is extremely concentrated. A single 1 oz. bottle of MILITEC-1 ® usually lasts far longer than a 4 oz. bottle of other lubes. Other lubricants form a temporary coating on the surface of the metal - a coating that can dry out or get rubbed off, leaving the weapon unprotected. In contrast, MILITEC-1 ® actually becomes part of the metal, not merely a film on the surface. MILITEC-1® has been tested extensively in the sweltering jungles of Panama and Colombia, the frigid winters of Alaska and Minnesota, the dry blowing dust and sand of Desert Storm, and the soggy rain of Great Britain, Puget Sound, and New England. In all these conditions, MILITEC-1 ® weapons fired the first time, every time. If you’ve used older lubes extensively, or if your firearm is very dirty, it’s a good idea to clean it thoroughly with a good quality solvent before your first application of MILITEC-1®. Some lubes can leave a residue that may partially block MILITEC-1®’s effectiveness.

  • How does Militec-1® work with black powder?

    Just fine. To get maximum benefit, fire at least one shot with a slightly wet coating of MILITEC-1® in the bore, then return to normal dry-bore conditions.

  • How does Militec-1® work with stainless steel?

    Great! MILITEC-1® has been used on stainless steel weapons for many years with complete success.

  • What happens if I get Militec-1® on my ammo.

    MILITEC-1® will not harm your ammo.

  • Will it damage primers like WD-40 does?

    Absolutely not. MILITEC-1® has no effect on primers.

  • Will Militec-1® harm the bluing on my firearm?

    No! If anything, MILITEC-1® will add new luster and depth to the finish.
