Dust covers on AR-15s help them shine. For all rifles, I would consider using something like synthetic Mobil 1 to coat any friction bearing metal surfaces. It will handle cold weather better than anything. Mind you it is toxic. Slip 2000 EWL also works well. It’s what I use in all of my semi-autos. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/freezing-lube-test.7105674/  Gun Lube Freeze Test Part 1 Ep 1601  Gun Lube Freeze Test Part 2 Ep 1602 |

There are only two rules in life set in concrete. 1. Survival of the fittest. 2. There will always be the “haves” and the “have nots”.
