"Keep em wet and they're gonna live longer" - solid relationship advice man
Underrated comment.
My granddad was in a special forces unit in world war 2. They mainly fought in alleys taking one building at a time. They were fighting Germany’s best trained soldiers at the time. His rifle was his life. He ran his rifle dripping with oil, even his hunting rifles after the war were always dripping with oil. If you asked him why…..he couldn’t afford a jam. His guns NEVER jammed.
Just make sure you have an old shirt on the first few times you fire the damp weapon and you will have a smooth operating weapon.
@@brentyoung7356 indeed
Smart Man!Bravo Co.!
There was no such thing as "special forces" in world war 2. Green berets didn't come into existence until the 50s. Nice try though.
That’s how I do. Soak all the guts and let drip dry.
Sorry Mickey.
The kind of gun oil I prefer is organic with lavender, ginger, lemon, and gives my skin a vibrant and fabulous sheen. 💋
Bahaha.
How delightful
Non GMO, cruelty-free, and vegan?
@@timitwist232 cruelty-free, open range, grass fed, non-gmo gun lubricant/oil is the ONLY way to go.... obviously...
😆😂🤣
"Keep 'em wet".... That's just good advice for life😏
@B Mac that's what she said
Especially coming from him
“Not a pitch but use my gun oil and use 12 fl oz per cleaning!”
😂😆😂😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cleans everything once a week for no reason while watching lethal weapon
Is that not normal? I do that twice a week
Somewhere out there a liberal has the sudden urge to scream at the sky
Navy Seals here man, but to each his own!
Yea that’s how I do it... normal right!?
@@scibzmasta I'm a liberal and I do the same with my ar,glock19,1911,and my custom .300 😁
Neat stuff. I been using mobil 1 synthetic engine oil for the past 15 years. Never fails.
This is the way
@@loganwykstra7922 This is the way
Yup.mobile 1 !
It's great as a lubricant but doesn't protect against rust and corrosion. Fine if you're just using it to keep your firearm running while using it. Not a great use if you live in a humid climate and put it in your safe for a few months or years. Most gun lubricants have added corrosion and rust inhibitors to them. If you live in a relatively dry climate or climate controlled place it works.
As someone who lives in Satan's ballsack called Florida, I've personally seen one of my ARs start to develop rust on areas where the anodizing or coating has worn off the wear surface and after putting my carbine through a rifle class when I was raining and muddy, I was just brought a bottle of motor oil to keep it running. I sprayed off the mud and oiled my bcg and wear areas with motor oil, put my rifle away for 2 months and came back to see it rusting in a few places.
He legit started with a real "oh, hey guys!"
Modern day Bob Ross of gunworks. 😂
Like a stranger just came up to him and wanted to make a 30 minute UA-cam video
Oh hey, didn’t notice ya there, hey guys!
Dude sounds like Donnie Burger, “Ohh hey Big guyyy” lol
"oh shit, I'm sorry"
I'm an armorer and our rifles get used daily and ran into the ground we run all our M4s wet all the time we use clp oil stuff burns off kind if quick but hes right running a wet gun is better when they are used daily.
👊👊
motor oil works the best in my opinion
Fair enough. But the amount of oil this guy applied is gross neglect. The end all be all is if your oil is Flashing off then you are using the wrong oil. As the previous guy said I've had the best luck with Lucas heavy duty gun oil. CLP's are cool and all, What they serve a purpose that is what you use on your tail gate if you have a hang up. Grab some gun medic so get down it'll get you through the day then go home and clean out the sand pit that as developed stuck to the obscene excess amount of oil crammed inside of that weapon. If anybody doesn't agree with that why don't you tahsome sand and oil and see how good the viscosity of that oil remains all that ship building up in the oil access is essentially creating excess friction causing the oil to break down more than it normally would sell no matter how you look at it is over oil and get or sloppy wet technique is the reason his rifles are so dam dirty after every trip to the range where I spend maybe 300 rounds. Did anybody else notice that he "d that that weapon had been fired more by a significant amount By multiple other people therefore does he actually even know its history. And when it fails I will be intrested to know how many rounds he got through it because I will clean and oil my gun under 2 conditions 1 is having been out in the elements using me the weapon and to is storage. That's the only time there will be excess oil running down any part of my gun and I will not be pumping 10 drops of oil in to the magcatch
@@joshhuoabski3278gross neglect, haha. We run tens of thousands of rounds a year. This is not just shop talk.

I found that the swab for a paintball gun works great for the buffer tube. Just FYI.

@David McKee ironic how that's what kills AKs while ARs tend to survive the mud and sand test
I take my old T-shirts and cut them up for rags!
I use them too. Along with old dirty underwear.
I feel like I just watched a tactical Bob Ross, there's just something about Mick’s calm relaxed voice.
lol, as a 60 and 240 AG and gunner, we used to drizzle 10w40 motor oil into the guns during any long livefire exercise.
As a part time diesel mech I'm mad at myself for not thinking of this. That makes too much sense, perfect additives for it too
mobile synthetic motor oil, buy a quart and you got all the gun oil u need. love the blues background by the way.
Do you not like buying overpriced butters, oils and greases?
Correct, any pure synthetic. 1 qt lasts a decade.
Amsoil 5-20 here. Superior lubricating properties. Also, use the Amsoil red grease between the bolt and carrier and cam pin, nothing but happiness.
Absolutely! Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W-20 is $24 for 5 quarts. That's a lifetime supply.
Motor oil is for motors. Not guns ;)
I clean my AR every time I use it, same with all my guns. I’ve never had one failure of any kind!
I clean my AR every 3k-5k rounds, or wherever it gets muddy/wet when it's with me out on the ranch, and I've never had a failure.
@@littlejackalo5326 that’s good, if it works it works.
Same here, I clean every firearm after shooting it at the range, every single time.
"Not a sales pitch" Goes on to talk about Gunfighter Oil repeatedly for eternity of video.
Am I the only one wondering if engine oil could be used lol
@@pulsiui4003 if it’s good enough to protect pistons in a vehicle it’s good enough to protect a rifle. That’s just my two cents. I run synthetic engine oil👍🏻
@@pulsiui4003 I used to change my own car engine oil and kept the leftover oil (Mobile 1 synthetic) to use on my guns. I still have some that is about 8 years old and still works fine. Been doing this since my first gun almost 20 years ago, and that was a retired range rental.
@@TGWraith Thanks for you input. I've been using engine oil, works fine and costs less!
I oil my AR's exaclty the same way you do sir, I also have the OCD of cleaning my guns after every range day, actually its more of zen for me. When I clean them peace of mind. Great video. I'm glad to see im not the only one that does this.
I've always cleaned and oiled my guns after every day's use. I grew up in rural PA where cleaning the guns at the kitchen table is nothing to even notice, and I never knew anybody that put their guns away dirty and dry. Must be an AR thing.
Yea I know the OCD thing, I've cleaned mine after shooting like 8 rounds when I test fired it brand new. People say, "I clean mine every 1,000 to 2,000 rounds" and I think to myself, "Do you take a shower once a month too?" Bet your guns are filthy!
@@sykoslim8851 im the same way, as much as I enjoy shooting them I enjoy cleaning them, I enjoy the zen of it. Kind of like being a baby and your mother singing a lullaby to put you to bed in a quiet room just with the a/c blowing through the vents.
ARLIFE
@@jzaden10 I wouldn't say I "enjoy" cleaning mine, it's more of a compulsive feeling that I HAVE to clean them because they're dirty. I never want a dirty gun, but I understand where you're coming from. My zen comes from playing with them, aiming at "the bad guy coming through my door" or walking through the house "clearing" each room lol...
@@sykoslim8851 glad to hear, I always run around my home doing small drills with mine. I love it. Haha
Anybody else get OCD whgen he was handling the gun and getting oil all over the outside? ;)
Nope
yes lol
not even close
na. I have severe ocd and it didn't bug me. what did, was the fact he was using a shitty 10cent brush from home depot. at least get something with a synthetic fiber. not that it'll affect operations.. but my skin would crawl if I found cheap ass paint brush fibers in my expensive weapon. why not just use a dirty sock? 😑
@@jamespirog6775 hilarious
I like 10w30 motor oil, synthetic oil of course.
I don't see this as over the top, I see this as giving a damn. Thank you.
Love the idea of the pastry brush, I used a "Q" tip to add oil to difficult areas, learn something new from everyone, thanks
Hey Mick,
Absolutely spot on! I would rather my firearm function than malfunction which means bring on the lube!
Rick
Do not oil the firing pin ever.
Don't close your eyes when a guy is talking about lubricating his rifle. 😂
I guess the question is where should we not put oil cause you put it on everywhere.
I am not the military type guy that prefers to scrub everything clean.
Me glaring "well obviously"
Good and informative video.
Showing people the stuff they need to know. Keep it up
Forgot to lube your flashlight batteries.
"oh, hey" is not an intro, it's a blooper lol
In the Marine Corps, we used to clean the accuracy out of our rifles.
Great idea with the chip brush. A shaving brush is good for the outside and barrel, but those little brushes are great for the small spaces and buffer spring.
So you're saying I can ignore everyone and keep my rifle M O I S T?
I can't believe he's trying to sell us gun oils...
I fill a large container with oil dip my whole gun in it. Afterwards i hang it over the night to get rid of access oil. Next day when i go to range every one next to me is covered in oil and need to wash their clothes and take long baths. Works every time.
I'm surprised this guy didn't dip it a drum, the amount of lube he's using is way past ridiculous, you would have a BCG absolutely full of grit if you used that gun the way I use mine, but I guess at the indoor range he shoots at it's ok.
Ballistol all the way here......cleaner and lube ,,,, has never failed me yet....
Me too . Works on everything.
Same. Cleans, lubes and smells fine. After I'm done with the cleaning rag, I'll use it on my leather boots, works well lol.
Can't stand the smell of it. I'm sure it works good though

God forbid of course!
wait is this an info-mercial? or a cooking show where the main course is oiled guns.....
I learned a new thing about my AR in a couple of minutes of your video I really didn't know I could do. Thank you!
Lock bolt to rear. pour 2 liters of CLP in star chamber bolt forward and coat BCA. crank charging handle like it's a broken lawn mower until oil is shooting out the sides.
Also biodegradable oil: You will clean your weapon 4+ times (assuming you just do a light coating on non used weapons at a minimum to help with rust prevention) before it degrades. I have bottles of CLP from 1980 that are just as good as the ones from 2020. It's just a bullshit thing companies say to convince you to buy theirs over another. But don't put whale sperm on an AR, it will gum that shit up like you've never seen (Dirty little privates >:( )
But as my old supply Sargent use to say "I make you clean it for inspection, but it's on you to clean it in the field. Keep that bitch as dirty as you are comfortable with. It's your life it's protecting."
Such a phenomenal video!!!! Absolutely love your energy and knowledge. Keep making content and I will keep watching!
Take a shot for everytime he says "wet".
But I’m gonna...I’m gonna black out!
I couldn't agree more, keep it wet and I will always run. Thanks for posting
How dose Gunfighter compare to Millitary L.S.A ? 😊
The Bob Ross of gun oil! LMAO! Cant stop laughing... a happy laugh tho!
Kinda makes me cringe watching you baste your rifle parts like a turkey. Your hands look like you just changed oil on a vehicle. Even in a combat zone I have never oiled a rifle that much. Had zero malfunctions. Proper cleaning and lubrication will prevent most malfunctions.
Working that brush you reminded me of the gun world's version of Bob Ross. "We're going to paint a happy little bird on this receiver. No rust on THIS front sight."
Bwaaaha lmaoooooof 😂 nice
I almost typed the same thing! 😆
ok a vet from the sandbox turned me onto Hoppes #9 and ATF in a 50/50 mix and it's AWESOME... it goes WAY further because it thins it but the ATF keeps it WAY cleaner and it holds up to WAY higher temps than just oil alone... it's messy... like... it's going to weep oil n carbon out as it shoots but... keeps things from gumming up and it's Soo much better than just oil... ever see a dirty Auto transmission journal.... nope me either... and those get HOT... it's a high pressure high temp lubricant and everything runs way smoother than just oil alone...i switched about 9 years ago and I run it on everything... give it a shot... oh... AND..
it's not 10$ tube
“Oh hey guys...”
She likes it lubed... I've heard that before... I work on machines for a living and I definitely agree with keeping stuff lubed...
Definitely agree with the methodology behind lubing and cleaning the internals. Externally, I found that lubing the exterior of the firearm in dusty environments contributes to more dust and particulates clinging to the outside of my weapon. So I always lube up the essentials, then make sure the outside is bone dry.
Some lubes attract more than others, Breakfree and Lucas stand out to be, haven’t tried them all but those two are the worst. Synthetic is the path
One thing you can try is an exterior cleaning rag. I had one come with my Hoppe's cleaning kit and it's almost like a fine wool rag that has oil blended into it. It'll keep the exteriors clean and gives it a very minimal coat of oil to help prevent rust!
If you want to maintain the exterior of a weapon, use a dry-lube. Rem-oil will evaporate overnight, but it leaves behind a Teflon coating.
I like remoil for the exterior of pistol slides and other parts like that. Would be good for the carbon steel flip up sights shown in this video. It’s not great for BCG’s because it evaporates, but might do ok in the buffer tube.
NO-THING attracts dirt. Lube does not have magical dirt magnetism. Dirt sticks to water. It's called mud. It doesn't attract it.
Just say im promoting my product because i believe in it .
I've never seen a video like this! I didn't know to clean the buffer tube spring. Thank you for this video. I have 4 AR's and never cleaned the buffer tube.
You can do that with short pistol & carbine buffer assemblies with short weights but if you have a full-length M16 or clone with a long military buffer weight, you won't be able to get the buffer assembly out of the tube because the weight won't clear the hammer after you release the buffer assembly detent. Just put a few drops of your preferred lubricant on the weight (the part inside the spring) and be done with it.
@@richardlahan7068 you can easily separate the upper and lower and take it out, I have one
Just watch out that you don't lose the detent or spring in the buffer tube. They have a tendency to just warp into another dimension if you don't physically remove them.
New motor oil, Remington's oil, milsurp from the 60's, crisco, they all work.
Clean everything!
This entire video is a giant "thats-what-she-said!" joke
hahahahahaha most Excellent!
Lucas gun oil and clp
I drenched my entire m4 in wd40 once a week In Baghdad. Never had a jam in 15 months of combat
With flammable lube?
Wd40 is not a lubricant... is wager it was more a testament to the quality of your rifle than anything else
Wd-40 isn't lube it's made to displace water. The wd stands for water displacement.
@@edcole9782 Directly from the WD-40 website. "WD-40® Multi-Use Product protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates almost anything." So it does have lubricating properties.There are certainly better gun lubes out there. I use Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil for metal on metal and CLP for everything else.
@@edcole9782 Saw a colt python finish ruined from that trash { wd-40} ok for door hinges , not in my firearm , never .
Too much oil. This platform can take 1000 rounds in a day easy, with little oil simulating combat movement conditions. Don't develop bad habits. After your first day of class wipe it down, clean your extractor and lightly oil those wear points again for the next day of shooting.
Stick to carpentry dude.
Never buy gun oil. Just use motor oil.
dude you could just go ahear and submerge the whole AR in oil. seem a little over oiled to me...
I guess years of doing this have taught me nothing 😅
This was very helpful. Much appreciated.
Good video I could not agree more one thing I hate is someone hand me a gun I don't care what kind of gun it doesn't have a drop of oil on it hasn't been oiled metal on metal shit drives me crazy take care of your gun it'll take care of you!
How to say someone’s nuts in gun talk, “You’re a few gas rings shy of a properly assembled gun.”
Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W-20. $24 for 5 quarts gives you a lifetime supply of one of the best lubricants on earth. No brainer
I think that a lot of these guys who say to not lube or keep it bare minimum, served in Iraq or Afghanistan. If your in a place where sandstorms blot out the sun then , yeah, oil might hold more dirt. If you're in most American states that's not a problem. In most American states humidity is a problem because it causes rust, which oil prevents.
Good point. I live in a hot and humid state. I like Ballistol, though!
I hunt the dessert alot and if you use this much lube, your rifle will probably choke, sure if your shooting high volume in a static environment, but riding around in vehicles with dust everywhere, this is going to be bad for your weapons reliability.
I really need to get an AR platform. What I really want is an AR style pistol, but a budget one that doesn't have a reduced lifespan because of running 5.56 and being so compact, so I'm looking for an "AR-9" pistol, maybe with a 8-10" barrel and a flash hider or a faux suppressor. Something in the $500-$600 range. Been looking around, but a lot of sites are just completely empty and any stock left is upwards of $1000. Just want something to play with at the range and for home protection.
Thank you very much. Very informative, I am new (still waiting to pick up my AR15) so this helps for me to prepare my weapon once I have it. I will check out your channel.I am particularly interested in how to clean the AR 15 as well, and what tools to own for cleaning. I have been watching videos on how to do a field strip, and although this video does basically show a field strip, I have been watching other peoples videos on how to disassemble and reassemble. If you have a video on cleaning , please link it. I was going to build one so I can better understand the anatomy of an AR 15but saw a good priced AR 15 at a gun shop and could not help but buy it. For now, I ordered that gunfighter combo cleaner and lubricant, it seems like a good investment . Thanks again.
Mobile 1 synthetic for me. I don't know why people buy all those expensive fancy "Lube" oils.
Bro I use gun fighter gun oil as my FUN oil...
If you’z catchin what I’m pitchin. 😏
Anyone think the background music adds anything? Nope, just a distraction. Lose the music. Feel free to use it on landscape scenes.
Dark gun against a dark shirt. Got nothing out of this.
Just dump your whole gun in a container of oil and your good to go
@@KickMe1177 Thats what i do. I put a little bit a grease to. last a long time.
Sounds like a sales pitch to me and what is wrong with biodegradable oil. Use it all the time and never had issues. Also easy to wash out of clothing... Dude get real....
I know you are sponsored by GFGO Mick, but for those who are not...I have been using Mobil 1 synthetic oil, and their synthetic grease... for YEARS on my guns, all of my guns. A few years ago, I figured out that if you mix it, you can make a thicker oil/thinner grease....and this stuff is AWESOME, at ALL temps. Being made for high performance engines, you WILL NOT get this too hot. I mix mine till it is about like honey or toothpaste in consistency....it STAYS where you put it and does not leak out. Plus when you add the grease, it is red...so it shows in color once it gets really dirty. I have used literally almost every gun designed lube out there....and my mix is better. I have shown some of my gunsmith buddies, and even a few guys I know who are or have been active military, and they all use it now. You can get a one pound can of the grease for $10, and the oil I use in my vehicles, so I just use left over new oil....you can buy a 20$ tiny can of decent gun lube....but the same amount of money in my mix, you will literally get ten to twenty times the volume for the same money, and from what I have seen, running guns for over 25 years, it is better than anything I have used....and there is probably nothing better on the market....try it out, it is awesome! I have tried a lot of the ‘newest and greatest’ gun lubes out there, and always go back to my mix. I don’t even try anything else these days, there is no point anymore FOR ME....I have found this mix works better than anything out there. The lack of wear on my guns, and the longevity of it, proves it to me...and literally everyone I have shown this, uses it over everything else they have tried....and the best part, you can mix it as thick or as thin as you want. So on parts you want greased, you can use a heavier mix, and where you prefer oil, you can run a thinner mix. Not trying to put down anyone, or any product...but after much use, and much experience with it...I have found it to be the best stuff I have ever used. Try it out....you will be happy you did.
Sounds like the mix my nephew makes. I use it in pistols, AR 15 , Ar 10 and my bolt guns. It is good stuff.
What’s the ratio of the mix?
I agree. The gun oils are too thin and dissappear
@polikalepotau6379look at school of the American rifle.
@@Hodado50/50 search “SOTAR home brew lube”
My experience is they will run dirty , but they won't run if dry... overseas , clean with diesel fuel...lube with motor oil
Just like piston rings on a piston in a car engine...put 'em where u want, they'll move to where they want to be in due time
Amen
Piston rings need to be placed correctly otherwise viva el blowby
That’s false
Funny how most people talk crap about oiling their rifles, claim to be military etc, my uncle and grandpa where both navy, my uncle owned and operated his own gun shop, i never heard him once mention leaving a gun dry. is this not something people have not learned, it is one thing to clean a gun and leave certain areas dirty just for clearances, but to leave to whole gun filthy just seems asinine and asking for malfunctions. i noticed the one guy who made the comment that oil apparently creates the misfeed or jamming issues bahahaha seriously dude, who did the long and independent study and then had it peer reviewed lmfao. so i guess we should stop oiling out car motors... lets see how that goes... anyone who is anyone knows that metal loves oil and oil loves metal.... especially when it comes to friction.
It's been a long time since I fired an M16 in Basic Training, and now I find myself as a new AR15 owner. I plan on absorbing every bit of info I can lay my hands on. Thanks for the video(s), Mickey!!
Same. I used to just spray clp on the bolt. It was a damn mess everytime I cleaned it.
YES,AMEN
Have you forgotten all your basic training with an M16?!?!?!?
@@M21-w1yshould be easy to remember how to field strip and shoot even after all these years out of the army, I purchased an AR and it was like some habits never die, not much of a difference between platforms, pretty much the same other than no full auto or 3 rd burst switch 😢
Ditto, I qualified with an M16A1 in '73 and just got my first AR last year. HOOAH!
"Wet is always better than dry" It sure is.
0:45 “let’s keep ‘em wet”
Me- that’s what she said.
Does that lube you are pushing so hard come in a 55 gallon drum? It would be a lot easier just to throw the whole gun in there, let it soak a few minutes, then your good to go😂😂😂😂
My wife was giggling at “using a lot of lube”...........I’ll finish watching the video when we are done. 😉🤣
Back in when I was active CLP was the rage until you went into the field. Then trans fluid around the bolt and barrel lugs wipe the carrier clean and the weapon will run.
Funny story when I was a young infantryman at NTC OPFOR firing blanks and Miles gear my rifle was so carboned up and was almost unservicable. I had a epiphany water wasnt working to keep it firing so I used insect repellant and got it back into action, every time I fired I could smell deet lol.
Didn't hurt the weapon at all but made cleaning a bastard.
Beautiful video. Thanks for this thorough cleaning and oiling video.
Out Damed standing video . 14 year Army Veteran . 💜
There is a reason why your ar15 comes from the factory with no sign of visible oils and grease. It is because the armorer knows that excessive oil could make it into the chamber where it can actually be dangerous. The AR-15 was designed to operate with minimum oil, even in the high friction areas. But I do agree with proper cleaning after shooting. I've handled my AR in this manner for many years with no indication of substantial wear and it cycles every time.
When the Army & Marines were first given the AR-15 they were told that they would never need to clean their gun, hence they were not given cleaning kits. How many lost there lives because of this? Was someone possibly wrong?
I grew up hunting with my uncles and they thought me to always take care of your equipment good cleaning makes things last longer 😅
For those steel parts, use Turtle Wax. Yes, the car polish. It gives a decent protective coating.
As long as it is NOT conventional carnauba wax. Most "wax" these days are long lasting polymer/ceramic coatings/sealants that hold up to heat and time. Carnauba wax is useless in a hot environment.
Fortunately, Turtle Wax has kept up with the times. MOST of its products contain ZERO wax! now!!! Their best stuff is made from polymers and ceramics. And yes, those types of products do well in the hot environment of gun parts!
i use Mothers aluminum mag polish. but i dont ever oil my rifles like this.
@@jaypavlov859
Mothers mag polish is perhaps the best for BARE aluminum, but gives marginal protection over top steel or hard anodizing. Modern synthetic "wax's" (polymer based) are far superior. Never use old fashioned Carnauba wax. It melts away immediately due to heat from a firearm.
Did yall notice how quiet the standard spring can be with some lube on it. I been telling people for years to do that. And even in the desert and mountains of Iraq and Afghanistan I ran my rifle just as wet if not more than what he is doing. Ar-15s need lube to run. The dust and carbon wipes right off that way.
I was taught to keep my ar15 clean and dry only malfunction after it gets caked
Keep her Wweeett! 👍🇺🇸
I like your thinking on lubing wet is better. I just wish I was from a state where I could purchase replacement parts and have them in my bag.
Thanks for the great video. I really think that you are correct that wet is better than dry. When I sell a pistol, I always offer to beginners a chance to have me go through a cleaning with them for their gun so they can understand how it works and how to check it as they are cleaning it. We offer cleaning at our store but I really believe that the gun owners should know how their gun works. Some women want their husband to do it but I encourage them to do it themselves.
Excellent oil makes the difference.
That is a great idea and I'm happy you're implementing it. Showing new gun owners how their firearm comes apart and operates is a huge advantage and will more than likely create a safer environment.
You got metal rubbing metal oil it it's that simple
After l cleaned my AR l hit a few drops of motor oil in the BCG and it is good to go.
Same, I been using the same quart of synthetic 5w30 oil for 20 years on everything, AR’s, AK’s glocks etc. all those boutique oils for AR are a joke.
I used lubriplate fmo-350-aw on sliding parts since they use this in the food industry so it's non-toxic. For rotating parts, breakfree clp.
@@TacticalDimples Hell yeah man thats cool. I choose synthetic motor oil because is made to stand up high heat, but if you are a regular shooter anything can go. My opinion is always good to have a few parts on hand too just in case.
@TEXAS HOLDEM Hell yeah is cheap and abundant and is made to take the high heat.
@@ruststar LOL thats cool man, l've seen lraqui police opened the hood to their trucks and pulled the dipstick and dropped a few drops in their weapons systems.
Is that lube gender "fluid"? Cause when you started the gun was a "dude" and when you finished it was a "her"
A gun oil company advising people to oil the crap out of their rifle, lol.
My first gun at age 15 was a 222magum bolt good medium hunting gun
