iswope Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I spray the hell out of mine with Ballistol. Use it for cleaning and lubrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermobollocks Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've used both CLP and Froglube. CLP makes it run, but Froglube makes it run longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suesstech Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 CLP for me. Does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnLTD Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like the Brownells Friction Defense sample packs that I keep getting at matches. Works well and haven't had to pay for it yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickoli Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like the Frog as well. I have had some issues with it when it gets cold out up here like it has been this winter. Doesn't go to battery all the way on the first shot but once she warms up, its butter. I use it on my carry/competition pistol, and I used to use it on my shotgun, but after holding on target and waiting for the bolt to go back home after a shot, I decided to get something that works in cold temps. I might switch back to the Frog once it warms up around here but until then the shotty gets Milltek-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amccallister Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Shell Rotella T, 5W/40 Synthetic motor oil and Slip 2k. Mobil 1 full synthetic. Who do you think has spent more money on research- oil companies or some small snake oil seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoR Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Fireclean, slick and makes cleaning a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger6 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Here's another vote for Mobil 1 (5W/40) Every AR I have owned seems to love it. Used for last 3 years; still have 1/2 quart left. Ranger6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS761 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like Rotella T with a dab of STP mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganbillJ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Tried a lot of different lubes. I have settled on Masters OGS-3. Slick and cleaning is a breeze. I now use it on all 3 guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP221 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Mobil 1 full synthetic. Who do you think has spent more money on research- oil companies or some small snake oil seller? I agree completely. I have used Mobil 1 full synthetic exclusively for 8 years with no issues. I figured if it works in a formula one engine it will work in my handguns and rifles.

BillD Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've seen Pat Rodgers lube up an AR that wouldn't run because it was dry with Vagisil. And it worked. Point being, just about any lube will work, you just have to apply enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 AR's need a lubrication designed to take extreme heat. Most gun oils are really designed to prevent corrosion, while motor oil is designed to really take a pounding. I use full synthetic motor oil in my ARs and they not only stay wet longer, but are easier to clean up afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
