what lubricant do you use on your AR?

Postby Anokamnman on Wed Aug 15, 2012 11:13 pm

Just wondering what you use. Clp? rem oil? Tears from scared liberals? Just wondering what works best for you.
Wrap that around your overly muscled left wing and row your dinghy in counterclockwise circles as a result.

Royal purple 20w50, and I am not kidding. I have three, almost four quarts of the stuff and use it on all my guns. I figure im covered for the rest of my life

Amsoil 10w30 that is left over in the jug after oil changes.

I actually bought some of the Mil-tech or what ever the crap is called. Thats what is used on my AR. On everything else it is a combo of Triflow and Hornady one shot dry case lube.

Slip 2000 EWL, I used to use Remoil, then used some synthetic 20-50 (left over from my motorcycles). I like the Slip 2k the best as it suspends the carbon in the lube and makes the gun very easy to clean.

I broke mine in on Itailian Gun Grease, and I am happy to say it makes cleanup a breeze. No one around here carries it, so I guess it's whatever I have at the time ;) they send out free samples if you cover shipping
