M4 Cleaning Routine?

[Guinnessman]

Mr. Vickers,

What is your current M4 cleaning routine, and what cleaners and lubricants do you currently use? Are there any special tools that you prefer that make the job easier? Thanks.

I use Ballistol as a general purpose lube and I really like it; it is a bit thin for some applications but considering everything it is the one lube I would use across the board if I only had one

I have always had good luck with Militec and TW25B grease - and to be honest good old Mobile 1 is hard to beat

As far as any special tools the one thing I use the most day in and day out is a bore snake- great piece of kit

Be safe
