Grease for o/u's
I have been using Beretta's oil on my o/u's just because I have so much of it from the new guns that I have purchased. However, when I shoot a lot it just doesn't do the trick. I would like to use something like grease, but I have no idea what to get. I have some gun grease by Hoppes, but I think that stuff is just for storing the gun. I do use it on my choke tubes though.
Any suggestions would be appreciated along with where to get the stuff. I know a lot of guys use special stuff (e.g., 6.5's4ever), and I need to know where to get it if I am going to use it.

Grease suggestions!
Fabs, The locations to buy grease for your Beretta will be basically three places, your reputable gun Store or gunsmith, Auto Parts store or Hardware Store.Suggestions on kinds there are dozens of brands that will work. In the gun store catagory STOS is a well used one,Perazzi and Krieghoff have their own brands if you want to go that route, probably pricey though.The Sil Glyde that I suggested can be found in all Appliance Parts stores or Hardware Stores.In the auto parts store you can find White Lithium Grease which works well but wipe it off and apply new after each use also STP is susposed to work but told it is messy to use.Also if you want a free sample get on www.militec-1.com they offer a High Tech synthetic grease and will send you a free sample.I got some of this it works well but is very stringy and sticks like glue.So try some kind and see if it works for you ,all grease will work. Good Luck searching! Roy

Hey Fabs,
Why isn't oil working? Grease was always just too messy for me plus is really get runny in hot weather or like cement in the winter. Try some oil with silcone in it. Works for me.

Wilson Combat Ultima Lube Grease
Made for high performance trigger systems I use it on all my firearms including my O/U where grease is better suited for the task. You can get it at any gun supply store....here's a link to Midway so you can at least check it out.... MidwayUSA / Ultima Lube

Grease vs Oil
When it comes to bearing surfaces in a gun grease works much better than oil. On the hinge area of O/U's use Krieghoff grease or STOS(Ponsness Warren makes it) Doesn't get runny or hard in extreme weather. I have used STOs on my K-80 guns for years and the current one is just starting to get free enough to open all the way by itself when you open the the lever...but it has had a couple hundred thousand shells through it or so
 A lot of gun stores have STOS ..or Krieghoff grease. I just like the STOS because it is clear
