[smokey]

clandestine made a thread about all the producte he uses. It's pretty good. I'll use this post as a space holder until i find it. in the mean time...

bore cleaner: wipe out
semi-auto lube(especially for ar bcg's) mobil 1 synthetic motor oil
anti-corrosion: eezox
water displacement: barricade
snake oil profiting off of soldiers deaths that is harmful to anything it goes on: militec
good all-purpose stuff: breakfree clp

I've been curious about Slip 2000 EWL since I've been told that is essentially absorbs into the metal and gives a dry to the touch feeling while continuing to lubricate.

I run it exclusively, it's not dry to the touch, but it's great stuff.

Haven't lubed the AR in close to 5 months, still looks as wet as the day I applied it.

Very cool, I wonder if any IPs carry it. I'd love to try it out.

Edit: In case anyone was wondering, Gun Connection has several flavors of EWL.

It'd probably do well there too, it does claim to cut down on friction...



Yes, I was meaning the BCG of the AR and every other weapon I've applied it too.

I have put about 800 rounds on my AR and i have not cleaned once yet, wanted to see how many rounds it could take before starts to jam, then i will proceed with the cleaning part.

Was that before or after you had the little problem?

 

[browning guy]

Militec......Militec.........Militec

Before, during, and after.

I may have been a bit exuberant in soaking the bolt down and running it near dripping wet...


Pity..., dialed down my loads, went lighter on the lube, new bolt/firing pin - I no longer have that issue, I kind of miss it if I'm honest...

its like asking a room full of people what is their favorite color M&M's. Mine happens to be the Blue ones...Oh for oil i use CLP and I believe the other one i use is called M-Pro 7 or something like that.
