After years of just peeing on my AR to clean, lube, cool, etc., I'm thinking of other products. JUST KIDDING! But reading about favorite lube ideas is like finding the best BBQ recipe.
I saw an interesting article on the web the other day about a machinegun rental place in Nevada that cleans with Simple Green and water, primarily to avoid issues with the EPA. Makes sense. But for lube, they use Slip2000, which I never heard of before. They had 2 reasons. First, it worked, with some machineguns into the 200k round count. Second, it didn't "mist" like the all liquid lubes. They have customers who come in neatly dressed and it's not good for business if they leave sprayed down with CLP or motor oil.
Who's had a fair amount of experience with Slip2000? Today I picked up a small bottle, along with their cleaner and fouling remover, just to try. But it may be awhile before I get around to a fair test.
