Has anyone tried Mobil Grease 28 as a general gun grease? It's what Geissele uses as their trigger lube. It's synthetic and cheap, at about $12 for 13.7 ounces.

Haven't tried 28 but I do use Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease on my bolt guns, lugs and cams.

I bought a tube of Militec-1 grease a few years ago. I still have enough to last me forever. As long as the Mobil grease does not smell like shit, I would use it. I also use Tetra grease.

The aircraft repair company I work for uses this grease for aircraft wheel bearings and landing gear lubrication.Many different aircraft manufacturers recommend Mobil 28. This withstands very high heat and all weather conditions.

I use Lucas Red n Tacky #2 on all of my firearms, and have for a long time. For $6 / 14oz. tube it's a water repelling grease that doesn't absorb moisture like some, and works well for all marine, farm, on and off road applications, as well as, guns.
I use a very small amount on anything that requires grease on my guns. 1911 slides, M1A bolts, and a very small amount goes on my other pistols and rifles.
Like I said before, a little goes a long way, and it stays where you put it. That's what I like about it. If it gets hot it doesn't run. It stays put!

I use to use Aeroshell 17 which is a moly B fortified grease. Much thiner than 28 and slick as eel shit. The alt to is is Aeroshell 33. But like said before these are all aircraft grade greases.

You are the second person to vouche for Lucas. I've got an M1A, would I limit the grease to just the bolt and follow up with something else, or use the lube on all the recommended parts? I've hear nothing but great things about Red and Tacky for all things semi-auto, from AR platforms to 1911. If this stuff doesn't "drip", I might have to change all my lubricating thoughts from oil to grease.

I use it on all moving parts. It doesn't creep or drip like oil, and stays where you put it!
Lucas Red N Tacky was originally formulated for the drag race community because they needed an extreme temp grease that would get the job done. Lucas stepped up to the plate, and came up with #2.
Another thing I like about Red n Tacky #2 is that it doesn't absorb debris. In other words. If I shoot a long string of shots through any of my guns it won't cake up and gum up with powder residue.
Remember, all you need is a little. You aren't greasing tractor bearings or anything with it, so I would use it on the end of a q-tip and a tube will last you forever.
If you don't like the idea of smearing grease over everything. Then You could use the #2 grease on the bolt and follow up and get some Lucas Gun Oil to use on other moving parts. It works great as well.
Lucas gun oil was originally designed to apply for a military contract and they decided that the US retail market would yield better profit.
It almost has the consistency of a cutting oil. Good stuff.
