Fantastic thread, great job OP, it is much appreciated!
If possible, big +1 on the "How to lube" idea already posted. I just bought my first AR Saturday, and I'm leery of cleaning it without some sort of guide. |

I'm reluctant to do a lubrication guide because it seems to be a very personal and sensitive topic.

You could document a "wet" (for non-dusty/sandy environment) and a "dry" (for sandbox) approach and refer to generic lubricants of use choice. Certainly nobody could complain too badly about showing the use of CLP/LP or even Mobil1 used in conservative and liberal amounts. The key would be the particular places to lube. Then the user could determine their preference for frequency and saturation level. You could almost just annotate the existing pix with a different color text... DON'T FEAR THE FLAMES! Great work. |

Thanks, this is actually the reason I jumped into this site –– needed a good guide since I only fire my AR about once a year

Very nice pics and guide!
As an added reference, the NRA has a field stripping article in the latest issue (November 2009) of American Rifleman. Maybe it will be a useful addition to beavo451's excellent work. If not, mods can delete this post.

Bravo sir. Just got my first AR today. Best date ever! I expected the breakdown to more complicated but you make it sound so easy.
