Best Lube For Magazines

[the war wagon]

I use Slick50 1-Lube to clean springs and mag bodies when needed (and that's RARELY), but wipe them DRY.  What little oil remains is not enough to attract dirt, gum up, and THEN need... cleaning!

90w gear oil. And leave them dripping.

I posted earlier about Meguiar's auto polish (cleaner/wax), and I still recommend it highly. Used it recently to resurrect an 80 year old Hi-Standard magazine.

The reason I ask is that I had magazine feeding problems

I've seen dry lubes suggested in preference to oil.  In general, is this considered a better idea?  It looks like the prolix is a dry lube.  Anybody else run 'em dry?

How is the situation at this juncture ?
My late answer but current research..

May be your slide is not going back far enough to strip the next round from the mag ?
Because of the ammo choosen or for other reasons. Friction could be one.


To reduce friction plus easy cleaning i use that dry lube/ceramic plus additives Anschütz/ Fluna stuff. Residue free, solid, non sticky, lubricant. For metal and plastics. The gunsmith Jan Bruder https://www.buechsenmachereibruder.de/ introduced it to me and my kadet.

I had to degrease and dry the complete gun first. I used break cleaner and Loctite 7063 degreaser, cloths and compressed air. Alfresco.
Then i sprayed Fluna on and wiped it down. Also in the barrel. And not to forget the kadets FP and its spring and channnel. Mags. Home from the range i now clean the barrel with Fluna, a nylon brush and patches.

I fixed the problem by changing to new magazine springs from CZ USA.   No problems since then: I've been running them dry.
