Question about Copper Grease

[blaser]

Hi Troops,

The new glocks come splashed internally with a copper looking grease. Cleans right up after the first session or two. Thinking about replacing the coppery lubricant. Anyone try the commercially available copper grease, like the LOCKTITE C5-A?

Thank you for your replies

Actually, the owner's manual says to not remove the factory applied grease.

You did RTFM, did you not?

You could contact Glock to see if the grease is available, and where on your gun it should be applied.

Its in the manual - use 5 drops of lube once broken in... the copper anti seize is for break in only...

It helps with all the crappy stamped out parts fit better by creating an abrasive on said moving parts.

Whats this reading of manuals which you speak? Can't I just "click here" to accept the terms and conditions like everyone else, and get on with my day?

Serious, I appreciate the replies. I just picked up a handful of off rosters that are clean as a whistle. Just want to be sure I treat them right. I want them to point, shoot, repeat.

You guys are the best!

i'm betting the copper looking grease is just general copper anti-seize grease that is used for most machinery

i have a tube of it when i assembled my AR. never thought to use it in my pistols as break in grease....

just wipe it off and apply your own oils/grease before shooting.

Its there for long term self storage.

IIRC the Glock manual references it for break in and it will wear off. All mine did.
I also used it on AR barrel nuts, muzzle fobs, receiver extensions, AK gas tube assemblies, barrel trunions, front sight assemblies etc.. Made populating virgin AK barrels easy.
Very little goes a long way.

Sent using a long string and 2 used soup cans

Bingo, as told to me by the factory armorers. Its a long term lube that will stay put during storage. Keep it on, take it off, it doesnt matter at all as long as the gun is lubed properly before use.

Don't know if fact, but I read in another forum it contains lead.
