-What is Gun Butter?
Gun Butter is an exotic blend of the finest synthetic lubricants available anywhere in the world. Gun Butter's creation was inspired by shooters who desired consistent function in their shotgun, rifle, and pistol competitions during extreme shooting conditions. Gun Butter was created by an aerospace design team using a Continuous Quality Improvement Process to specifically engineer a complete lubricant for guns.
-Will Gun Butter harm my firearm?
Gun Butter will not harm your firearm but rather enhance proper break-in and add superior protection - regardless of the gun’s materials.
-Will Gun Butter protect against rust?
Rust protection in 100% relative humidity in excess of two years, no rust.
-How long does 1 bottle of Gun Butter last?
Use sparingly, one bottle should last for a year of constant weekend shooting. Long time storage will not diminish quality or function.
-How does Gun Butter prevent attracting dust and dirt?
This is a trade secret but we and our customers are delighted by this benefit.
-How do I apply Gun Butter?
Here is the suggested application for the 1911 pistol. The application techniques may be translated and adjusted according to your need and usage:
Clean entire gun minus grips with a non-lubricated solvent then blow dry or towel wipe dry.
Shake well before each day’s usage
1. Lube (micro-mono layer) lightly the sides of the hammer & sear. Normal (sparingly) usage on the contact points of the sear and hammer hooks, half-cock, and the same for the disconnector. Lightly lube the pin holes in the hammer and sear, pivot under hammer for strut, and end of hammer strut – top of mainspring cap. Do not lube trigger bow channel or inside pistol frame. Do not apply on magazines interior or exterior. If there is a problem; have a gunsmith clearance to eliminate sticking.
2. Lightly lube rails inside and out, add to disconnector railway and groove (micro-mono layer) in the slide.
3. Lube upper locking lugs on the slide and barrel.
4. Lube lower locking lug on barrel, pivot pin and inside slide stop hole.
5. Apply a ring around the tip of barrel about 3/8" from muzzle.
6. Once assembled apply a line on the barrel hood front across and a line down center of the hood front to back. Rack a few times and wipe of excess.
Solvents should not be necessary for cleanup after proper initial preparation and Gun Butter use.
Gun Butter may be used as a cleaner and will loosen and lift contaminants making wiping or washing a viable solution to complete refreshing. Use a nylon bristle brush AR-15 type works well, tea-shirt material, and Q-tips, etc.
Cleaning is recommended after each days shooting, if possible. If not lightly reapply to major wear and contact areas for refreshing during extended shooting or competition.
During extreme conditions re-apply to barrel tip and hood and a dab in the exposed slide rails at the back of pistol, while in a slide – lock position, about every four stages or so.
If extreme cold (40 degrees F. or below) is encountered or expected ensure a micro-mono layer is applied to sliding contact surfaces. Function is assured in extreme cold and freezing conditions; full high performance capabilities will accelerate and be realized instantaneously as weapon fire commences.
Cleaning and Lubricating the AR-15
Too much lube is bad; it can slow down the performance capabilities of your weapon.
Too little lube is bad but not what it seems with Gun Butter. If a tint of red is visible you can be assured of placement and readiness. In the field, a couple of drops on key areas should refresh performance and confidence of function.
With proper cleaning and Gun Butter applied "crud" will be reduced and help decrease malfunctions.
So, how to do it?
Clean all parts with a non-lubricated solvent such as Break Cleaner or carburetor cleaner.
This will prepare all working parts for Gun Butter.
Blow dry with high pressure air orwipe off all excess and let dry.
Sparingly lubricate , think of a monolayer of lube. Unlike conventional lubes Gun Butter functions best and will last with a mono layer on the weapon’s sliding and contact surfaces (bolt body including the lugs, bolt carrier, cam pin & cam, upper receiver surfaces, and charging handle). The Gun Butter will not dry out. Gun Butter may be used in the chamber and bore. Total protection and performance no longer depends on excessive amounts of lube. The bolt Plunger may be lightly lubed.
No other lubricant can do the job of Gun Butter better and their presence could possibly diminish maximum performance.
Rust protection for 100% relative humidity in excess of two years, no rust.
Gun Butter will function in freezing weather and not evaporate or dry out with extreme heat and tends to repel dust and dirt.
If extreme cold (30 degrees F. or below) is encountered or expected ensure a micro-mono layer is applied to sliding contact surfaces. Function is assured in extreme cold and freezing conditions; full high performance capabilities will accelerate and be realized instantaneously as weapon fire commences.
Oh, and put a "light amount” of Gun Butter in the buffer spring, buffer & tube. It'll move smoother, quicker, and quieter, and will protect better than molybdenum grease on all surfaces including the aluminum buffer tube with that hardened steel spring grating back & forth with every shot!

How do I apply the Trigger Grease?
Gun Butter’s Trigger and Locking Lug Grease is a new technology reducing the moment of inertia in moving parts and protection of high impact surfaces.
It will out perform conventional graphite and molly greases and offers many times the adhesion." Trigger Butter" was used exclusively for years in competition by our team. Now blessed by our professional shooters, Gun Butter’s Trigger and Locking Lug Grease, is now available for the first time to all shooters of any level concerned with protection and performance.
Suggested applications:
Placed in hammer hooks
Sear tip and pressure pads / contact points
The sear spring tip
Upper and lower locking lugs on the barrel
Also suggested for use on the hammer strut contact point with the cup for the hammer spring.
Use sparingly
Note: We do not recommend use on slides surfaces, as the performance of Gun Butter alone is optimal.
Gun Butter does not run, yet will shuttle debris from the mechanisms while firing. Gun Butter’s special formularization has specific ingredients to perform as only it can in extreme temperature ranges and environments. It will also smooth and quiet your mechanisms as never before. Please use as recommended or experiment to find the optimum performance for your needs during practice sessions.
The grease is the icing on the cake to smoothness concerning trigger / sear contact points and applications, such as in the locking lugs. The grease is applied in mono micro layers were used and I recommend placing a little Gun Butter Oil on top of the grease before assembly. Also, use the oil on the sides of the hammer and sear only to avoid sticktion and assure total performance. Gun Butter oil can and should be used everywhere lubrication is mandated. All Gun Butter products are engineered to play well with each other.
The consensus from Special Forces' use in Iraq revealed, “Gun Butter worked every where every time". This is echoed by our professional shooters use in competitive shooting and our valued customers of every venue.
Note: If anything other than stellar performance is experienced; ensure the weapon was cleaned properly with a non-lubricated solvent and not over-lubed or mixed in combination with other lubricants, which can diminish maximum cyclic rate and longevity of parts and performance. Total protection no longer depends on excessive amounts of lube.
