Quote: Because you make it painfully obvious you have so little of it. An Internet commando who like to argue with people, nothing more. Vastly more than you have so I'm curious where that puts you. Probably in the same ignorant group that uses automotive oil as a firearm lubricant....

Quote: What I got was a powerpoint presentation. Not a technical paper, but a summation of research into case failure, not stoppages in general, but the case failure problem You didn't look hard enough. Two pdf documents, one covering bolt forces and the other covers deformation of the...

Originally Posted By: bubbatime Blown, what is your issue with lubrication? If you lube an AR generously with lube, it is less likely to jam. The design is such that it is practically impossible to over lube the AR as it will throw off any excess lube that it doesn't need. No one is saying the...

Originally Posted By: billt460 Nor do you have the experience. And as was proven to you, radically over lubing the AR-15 did nothing except make a mess. The fact you "run a range" means nothing. So do a couple of retired old farts at the range near me. They wouldn't know which end of the...

Quote: I did look it up. All I could find was the data showing additional case loading due to chamber lubrication in the M-240. Do you have a more specific link relating to the AR-15? Thanks. No, no you didn't. Because if you did you would have noticed it stated the M249 and noticed the...

I wouldn't use it on any firearm I cared about. As such I use brake cleaner for automotive purposes and keep it well away from my firearms. With AR's it is a big no-no, not only the plastic furniture but there is a small rubber insert and maybe an O-ring providing extra tension for the...

Larry Vickers is a great guy but he's no engineer. The Army published research that directly contradicts his claims and what he demonstrated is incredibly dangerous and foolish. Look up ARL-TR-5377 published by Aberdeen Proving Grounds on the effects of (excessive) lubrication on bolt face...

There's no round count really, one of those things you have check as part of routine maintenance. For carbines the action spring spec's between 10-1/16" and 11-1/4", rifles are 11-3/4" to 13-1/2". It's a very wide tolerance so you really have to measure what you have if the rifle or parts are...

I've seen AR's with broken bolts and galled cam pins with less than 1000 rounds through them because the owner believe the AR needs to be wet to run. I've also seen AR's run thousands of rounds with nothing more than a few drops of CLP and I've personally run more than a dozen full 30-rd mags as...

Quote: Times have changed. It has been proven over 10 years in Iraq/Afghanistan that the AR platform guns run much better dripping wet in oil. Actually they have not. The Army published a recommendation on using extra lubrication for extremely dusty environments based on testing and only at...

Quote: Breakfree CLP and Slip 2000 have not passed any current military lube specifications last I checked. Breakfree hasn't been approved for years. Slip 2000 was being tested on a limited basis. I checked research conducted in the last few years along with a paper conducted fairly recently...

Automotive engine oils do not provide the best protection and lubrication for firearms. Period. Best lubricants for the AR-15 are products that have been tested and passed the relevant MIL-PRF specifications. Break-Free CLP and SLIP 2000 Gun Lube. If you need a RBC for copper fouling on an...

Love my 92FS. The locking-block issue is extremely rare and is only a factor in high-round count or poorly maintained 92's. You are supposed to keep track and replace these parts (like you would the recoil spring in a 1911, Glock, Sig, H&K, etc) per the manufacturers instructions every so...

They know that, which is why even relatively minor changes need the type of attention this proposal brought upon itself. It's why court cases are so important, they set precedent that can change the legal landscape for decades. The DC v Heller decision is a good example.

All IC engines consume some oil. It may not be much in your case but yes, your engines are burning some oil.

I make a batch of hummus a week on average. Krinos tahini, Colavita extra virgin olive oil and Goya chick peas are the base ingredients I don't deviate from anymore. Only time I have not used Colavita since I started using it was when my parents gave me a small can of first-press olive oil that...

Quote: Well they also kept the 30-06 because it was the era of the Great Depression and we had MILLIONS of rounds of 30-06 on hand. It was cheaper to keep the old round. That was a claimed benefit but for most of the development of the semi-automatic rifles that were submitted for testing to...
