Say your at the range and your giving it pig (with those long firing 5 round mags) and youve got an SBR.. I have heard from alot of posts on ArF.com that the AR runs best when its wet with lube.. even wet and dirty is better than not wet. My question is, can you just spray abit of CLP directly onto the bolt side without removing the bolt or carrier or dissasembling and just keep on going? This wont replace a takedown and cleaning just keeping it wet so that it doesnt cook on a 10.5 incher. Does this sound right place to lube it? Any other areas? I have two types of CLP..old stuff in a bottle and new aerosol type..which is best? I take it avoid getting any near mags or feed ramps right? Thanks for any info.

When I clean my AR-15 I put a bit of bottled CLP on sliding parts and thats it.

I have never had to lube any of my AR-15's while at the range. Are you having problems or something?
 
I read an article by Ross Seyfried about gun reliability ect. When he competed in IPSC he said he wouldn't shoot a gun that didn't have at least 500 rounds through it, during competition all he would do was lube it until it was literally oozing lube and dirt. That's how a true battle rifle should operate anyway.
 
When I do it, I drop a bit on the bolt carrier rails, and anywhere where the bolt contacts the bolt carrier (cam pin, gas rings etc). The two vent holes in the bolt carrier make it easy to reach the gas rings.
 
does anybody have a link to a schematic or more info on doing fast lubes?

btw- my post isnt about problems. Just wanting some service info. I plan to use this rifle alot at 3 gun and other stuff. So just need some advice on the best fastest way to keep it up and running.
 
Yes, you certainly can. Almost infinately. Keep it off the bolt face. Otherwise give it a squirt on the bolt and carrier. I use the bottle (ahem), but I buy jugs and pour down. A lot of people use the aerosol CLP, I'm sure whichever you like to use will be fine.

CLP won't hurt your mags, but don't lube your ammo.

so best way is with the bolt closed and the flap open and just give it a squirt? Then open the bolt and squirt the front of it? then pull back the charging handle and give it a squirt in the end of the carrier? Does this make sense?

-Mine didnt come with any manual so I dont have any service info. Just lots of CLP and ammo...
 
USP:

I've had more confidence on the firing line (during my preparation time) when I take a bottle of Militec, CLP, Hoppe's #9 Oil, FP10 (or whatever YOU like to work with) and squeeze a drop into each of the holes on the starboard side of the bolt (exposed side). Then I will put a drop or 2 on the side of the bolt as I pull the bolt about 2 inches rearward, the bolt extends from the bolt carrier at this time. Then work the action back and forth a few times.

Of course, part of my mental management program involves some inspection, cleaning, or tweaking in my room the night before ( or the afternoon before the next shooting day, then bringing your rifle to the unit's lockup room, etc). At this time I will squeeze a couple of drops on the bolt carrier rails on top alongside the bolt carrier key (see the wear points?). I will squeeze a drop on the bolt cam pin. Then I will squeeze a drop or 2 on the sides of the bolt as I work the lubricant throughout the bolt by pulling and pushing the bolt in and out of the bolt carrier.

Yes, I try to keep the bolt face dry and of course, keep the lubricant OFF the ammunition.

Hope this helps your game.
