Grease has no place on the internals of an AR15.

My understanding is that you want oil so it can float off the crud that you get around the bolt/carrier. Grease would trap the crud. That is my understanding on why you should use oil and not grease on an AR.

Is M1 Garand grease (The dark colored stuff in a small container with the yellow lid) good to use on my AR15 internals? Lubriplate I tend to follow TM 9-1005-319-10, it's just how I was raised.... |

I've used slip 2000 grease on an AR. It tends to stay where you put it unlike liquid lubes.

I have seen more than one AR fail at the worst possible times, and it was discovered that the owner was using grease. This slowed the bolt carrier down to the point there were malfunctions during cycling.
A wipe out with a paper towel, and the application of CLP, and the guns were back in the competition. Don't use grease.

I use Lubriplate during installation, on any pins, detents or springs that once the weapon is assembled, would not be easily accessible to lube. I also apply Lubriplate to the FCG pins.

I use moly grease on AR barrel nuts and trigger engagement surfaces, all other lubricated parts get Slip 2000 or Mobil 1 10W-30. I used to use moly grease on the receiver rails etc. of my M1 Garand. That M1 tradition got started with GIs because the grease will stay put and keep working for a week in the field through multiple firefights. The problem for civilians is, the grease eventually dries out e and we don't have weapons inspections every other Saturday that forces us to remove the unused grease. So these days, both my Garand and my ARs get a light coat of Slip 2000 on the action parts before each range session. - CW

If it turns, oil it
if it slides, grease it At least that's what we we taught back in the dark ages. That being said, on my AR 15 I just clean with CLP and lube with Mobil 1 |

I bought tow ALG ACT triggers last week and directions said to use grease if possible on the lube points, otherwise a high quality oil...

Lubriplate I would buy it for my shop in 5 gallon pails.....so I use it a lot Break Free CLP I would buy it for my shop in 1 gallon contaners I have been experimenting with Super Lube it seams to work better at high temperatures 450 degrees and is clear. |
