The lube gets blown out / burned out when fired.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The lube gets blown out / burned out when fired. Dude. Why is your BCG on fire?  OP, I would disagree with that set of instructions. |

I light coat those areas as much for corrosion during storage as anything.

Quoted: Anyone know why fn says not to put lubricant on gas rings, bolt tail and inside the bolt carrier. Just bought a fn tac 2 and the manual says not to lube those areas, seems to go against everything I've read from other manufacturers. Just wanted to know others thoughts on this. If you run the gun wet, lube is going to migrate into those areas anyway. |

I wouldn’t listen to a manufacture that can’t drill gas ports properly or make non MIM BCG components.

I don't care what they say. I will continue lubing the rings etc

Quote History We have had plenty of discussion (arguments) about this over the years, for sure LOL. I have found that on my supressed, overgassed uppers that if I don't lube the bolt, cam, and rings that the rings and cam pin wear out much faster. If I avoid lubing the bolt altogether, as they suggest, it is also much harder to clean that bolt up. My hard chromed, and coated assy's are easier. I am surprised by that video, I thought "run it wet" would have been the rule of the land from Brownells and former-mil, but they just want you to put a couple of drops on the contact surfaces, and head of to war. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wouldn't listen to a manufacture that can't drill gas ports properly or make non MIM BCG components. Above diagram is correct. Lack of lube makes the AR choke faster (on carbon fouling) and makes it more difficult to clean, and less resistant to corrosion. |

Minimum of 30 years lubing the gas rings and inside of the bolt carrier.
I will continue to do so. |

I am surprised by that video, I thought "run it wet" would have been the rule of the land from Brownells and former-mil, but they just want you to put a couple of drops on the contact surfaces, and head of to war. That's probably taken a bit out of context. They are not telling anyone to head off to war. Running "wet" will work fine if desired. The original question concerned lubing the gas rings specifically. The thought is oil in that area quickly will get displaced due to the high pressures and then won't be there anyway. Is this true? I don't know for sure, but it would be pretty easy to determine if desired. |

I always lube the rings and the gas ring bore but I really don’t think it can stay lubed for more than a couple of rounds.
Hot, high pressure gas blasting through there and venting out the side. |
