What do you use to lube your stabilizer jacks?

That information has been out since the 1970s.

Nothing beats Eezox for firearms.

well I bought a can by mistake called water displacement by w-d-40. but most time I use w-d40. use that for a lot of things. now its all happy-camping

I have use WD-40 and other types of oils but I found the best is krown rust protection T 40

I hear and see all sorts of uses for, or not for, WD-40. Depends on the day, weather, season, and year it seems whether or not WD-40 is good or not. As to primers... it would be interesting to see how much WD-40 is applied to a firearm in order work its way into a primer. Makes me think maybe someone just sprayed a firearm without wiping it down... I am sure most lightweight lubricants will affect primers if too much is used.

As to who said it was good for firearms, WD-40 is advertised, right on the can, as being suitable for cleaning and protecting firearms. I don't use it for that, but I know some very experienced hunters who swear by it.

Anyways... see you on the road!

I carry WD-40 everywhere I go and use it to lubricate everything from door hinges to hitch components. Did you know WD stands for "water displacement"? The 40 stands for the 40th 'recipe' the inventors went through to come up with the current lubricant.

I used to spray chain lube on the stabilizers, but when I ran out a while back, I applied a small amount of NEVER-SEEZ. Haven't had to reapply yet.

Pure nickel special is a superior, high temperature anti-seize and extreme pressure lubricant
Contains flake particles of pure nickel, graphite and other additives in a special grease carrier found to enhance anti-seize performance
Prevents galling on steel-to-stainless, titanium, magnesium and other hard metals.

Anything is better than nothing, and WD-40 is just fine for this purpose. There are a dozen better options of course, but are the really "needed"? No.
