    "150 rounds of ammo per agent per quarter for practice"?:wtf:

    I want border patrol agents that can shoot, which requires more ammo than that if you ask me.

    Hey, they mentioned my favorite lubricant- T25b

    Just for the record, Mil-comm T25 grease is INCREDIBLE. I just posted on another thread about it coincidentally. They use it on the gatling guns and M-2s on Naval vessels out at sea. It conditions the metal, and it works SO WELL. They actually formulate the fluoro compounds to be spherical via interaction with oleic compounds, meaning that instead of big chunks of teflon as large as 2 micrometers and irregularly shaped, the mean teflon subunit is completely spherical and on the order of sub 1 micron! It plugs and conditions metal pores, and stays where you put it, and resists corrosion better than anything except for 2 things: Milcomm T2500 oil, and EEZOX.

    Point is, heat the metal and rub some on the wear areas of your rifle, you'll shit a brick.

    Not as big a fan of slip-2000

    ^Um, didn't our government destroy billions of dollars worth of 5.56 ammo last year?

    I know they bought a whole damn crapload of it, which included enough for the Dept. of Education to be issued more than what the border patrol apparently gets.
