AR lubrificant

I put the first thousand through my Stag after one lube with Militec-1. I have cleaned it since but I am still waiting for a stoppage 4500 rounds later and counting (I have had it almost a year now).

robertf, grease is a very specific lubricant and manages to hold particulate, that is what is does. the dirtier the gun you use it in the more crud that will accumulate in the grease the worse your gun will perform. Its not hard to understand for most. Climates, conditions, and use all affect how your grease will perform much more so than they will affect how oils perform, all of which I assume you all ready know. Running grease in a small arm is simply unwise. Many folks do it, lots of folks hire hookers too. Just because someone does something and doesn't pay the consequences it doesn't mean its the best thing to do.

To answer your question BREAKFREE CLP is about the best product the initial poster could use to run in the gun he is shooting. Essox is probably the next best, both great lubricants and rust inhibitors and won't accumulate crud like grease.

On what science or data you do make these conclusions? Once again you are posting things that are simply untrue.
 
I like CLP for cleaning and oiling the outside of my gun but I find it drys to quickly in my rifles. I put clp oil on the bolt and left it for a week then grabed it went to the range shot 300 rounds through my ar when I had a failure... Put a new round in the chamber then... FAILURE.... Looked at the bolt .....dry dry dry, Re-oiled then no more problems but ...I use greese NOW and never had anthor issue.

Thanks for the answer to the question I did not ask.

I got my answer, Mods could you lock this thread? It's starting to waste bandwidth:cool:...
 
although your gun has been running well, you are taking chances in mixing lubes, its NEVER a good idea unless you are an engineer who understands the chemistry and understands it well. I gave you suggestions of two products that would work as well as the grease you are having a hard time finding. End of my trying to help. I realize you don't know me, are happy with what you are doing, but sometimes it pays to look into things a little. In any case we do have one thing in common and that is we enjoy shooting. Happy shooting

And yet again... Where do you come up with this stuff? If you want to give advice like you're an expert, at least provide proof or science to back what your saying. Some of the advice you're giving is total BS. I'm sure you mean well, but you are certainly not a tribologist, and you're giving bad advice to someone who doesn't know any better.
 
Robert,you don't know who I am or what my experience is. In fact mixing two lubes can infact cause the chemicals in one to counteract with the chemicals in the other neutralizing both never mind the fact of possible early metal corrosion. Most highschool chemistry students figure this out real quick. As for you stick transmission fluid in your engine and see what happens, or just mix a little in! Different lubes do different things, i am no giving bad advice, to the contrary. Suggesting someone use some of the best products on the market for their application is not giving bad advice. IT seems you are looking more for a fight than a decent dialogue regarding correct applications of correct lubes for correct applications.
 
robertf, there are two kinds of shooters, the recreational shooters and the ones who's lives depend on their weapons to work in the wost possible moment or the worst conditions possible. Lube is a lot more important to consider than what is being discussed here on this thread. I take lube seriously, and if its BS to you then that is fine with me. Conditions include weather, water, temp, sand, debris, mud etc etc. In a fair weather carbine course, ky will work fine, but when you need to rely on your gun is that what you want in it?
