Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Silicon Lubricant for mags and moving parts.
Posted: 6/22/2001 12:32:41 PM EDT
I've been using 3M silicon lubricant for my orlite mag springs. It has no petroleum oils and it safe for most all surfaces and drys fast.
Anyone else use silicon as a lubricant for their AR15?  [sniper]

I just (2 days ago) sprayed silicon into all of my AR mags.  I some fail to feed problems the other day and I think this might solve the prob.

Most people I hear from say do not lube the mags, there is a dry flim on the mags already.

I spray my externals with commercial silicone, store guns in ungodly places, never to rust. Silicon, silica, not even!
