I have always used Mil-Comm TW25B on my Sig Sauer and other hand guns but now I’m just purchased my first AR15 and was wanting to know what other fellow AR users prefer MILITEC-1 or Mil-Comm I was told to use Break free to clean everything first then apply a light oil on the Bolt Carrier and everything metal, then on the Bolt with Ejector use a grease (lightly http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/glockster357/BoltwithEjector.jpg Grease only |
From their site: "Since 1948, Clenzoil has been used by" OLD technology. Just get some Weapon Shield and be done with it. |

At Paul Howes Tactical Rifle course this fall Paul went over his maintenance routine. I was surprised to see that he lathers the entire bolt carrier in mil-comm TW25B grease (and the TW25B spray oil on the rest of the gun). He explained that, in his experience, the grease lasts longer and reduces malfunctions-especially in cold or sandy environments. If it got him through a 12+ hour fire fight in Somalia, I wouldnt argue. www.combatshootingandtactics.com/general.htm |
Mobil 1 has been around since the mid 70's, but it's been through a number of iterations. Is Clenzoil's formulation unchanged since 1948? |
Interesting, is he is talking about using the paste type TW25B on the bolt? You would think lathering any type of grease as described on a bolt exposed to a sandy environment would cause it to attract sand. |
Don't know for sure but this is also on their site:
There is nothing on their site that suggests that it has changed or that it is cutting edge tech. No MSDS on their site (a red flag for me), but I have requested one. |

Full-Auto, I was shocked too. I should email him to clarify, but when he told us about TW25B grease he said it was great for sandy environments. I saw similar advise on the Larry Vickers web page refering to crew served weapons. (Larry served with Paul in Somalia) ---> Vickers Tactical Tips Ill repost when I hear back from Paul |
