REM Oil Question

My anecdotal experience with TW25B on a shortie is that it seems to inhibit carbon build up compared to regular oils such as CLP.
 
I really think oil is a s**tty lubricant for a AR bolt, no matter what kind of oil you use it will not stay where you apply it and it will dry out very quickly when its subjected to heat. The AR DI bolt/carrier gets really hot very quickly. The action is much smoother after grease.

Give grease a try and apply it per the youtube video I posted above, grease stays where you apply it, does not cook off quickly and cleans up very easily. Ever since I switched to grease I find I rarely need to clean the bolt/carrier. I just spray some Gunzilla in the chamber and barrel and run a couple of otis patches thru and its ready to go again.
 
Thanks to everyone for all your opinions. I was told by my gun shop that REM Oil was the way to go but like many of you said it is very dry and that concerns me as everything I have read and researched says run your AR bolt wet. I will buy some TW25B and I have high temp bearing grease so I will have a couple options to work with. Once again thanks for all the great info.

Militec is NOT approved for use by the US Military.

TW25B is used on the M240's, Mk11, and many other guns, we use it on the SR-16's etc. Army went with CLP instead of SOCOM TW-25B :rolleyes:

Thanx, ordered up a tube of TW25B direct, looking forward to it.
 
G96. Works better than CLP. I've used both with my RCMP firearm. Both are approved. The G96 works better and smells a lot better (CLP smells like a bad barbecue). I have some Rem oil. I use that on the high friction parts after the G96 has been soaked in. I find the combo works well. However the G96 stuff is excellent on it's own. It's a metal conditioner. After shooting you can just wipe off the carbon. No scrubbing in most situations. Piston cups are the exception. You still have to scrub.
 
Lube

Thers a host of good stuff out there ie: M-Pro 7 line, Breakfree even Rem oil. Remember it doesnt have to be wet to be Lubed,less wet= less powder fouling

For Mobil1 synthetic oil, I use 0-40.
I ran 250 rounds through mine on the weekend and it is still as slick as when I cleaned it.

I have a Remington 700 that when the bolt was cycled, it felt gritty and stiff. It was recommended to me by a good buddy to try putting a thin coating of Mobile1 on the rails or try lapping the bolt. I went with the synthetic oil and in extreme cold it functions as slick as it does in 30 degree weather. Since this experiment, I use it on the rails of all of my pistols and any other lube point that is required. Even the 1955 Russian SKS felt better with a nice coating. Cleaning is a breeze. So far, 750 rounds on the M4 and absolutely no wear on the bolt and no failures.
