[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5643892, member: 20060"] I am of the mind that most of my ARs like to run wet. Due to the gas operation there is a lot of carbon that gets blown back into the BCG, the oil/lube helps it stay dissolved, otherwise it cakes on the bolt and bolt carrier making it not run as smooth. I know on my M-4 I would get much more carbon build up when it would just be just wiped down, vs squirting oil directly into the BCG before and between shooting sessions. Oh, and grease not oil on any metal to metal contact points. I won't recommend any brands because I have used many and can't rightly tell the difference but mostly stick to what the Army gave me, which was TW25 for grease and CLP back then. But I have picked up a few of the new "hotness" lubes because I am a sucker for new stuff, but I can't honestly say they are any better or worse than most any other lube. [/QUOTE]
