    I would've liked it better if the BCG got a bunch of that lube as well... and did this with a glock. Every glock armorer I know always cries about over lubrication

    I remember it as well. It came up on some of the gun blogs, and I wondered why they were re-posting an old video.

    I did honestly believe you were supposed to wipe out bore well to prevent lube interfering with bullet leaving barrel, but guess that was debunked for me as well.
    Normally one should minimize oil and especially grease in the bore. If one wants maximum reliability, especially extraction, a VERY LIGHT coat of grease in the chamber only or on the cases is a good idea. The ideal is a weapon that runs fine without lubing the ammo, then lightly lube the cases only for very important times. Murphy's law!

    yeah, this is an older video (back when LAV was doing a lot with DD). I haven't seen him use a DD rifle in a broadcast/public/commercial setting in some time.
    I run my gear wet. I've never personally witnessed a problem associated with lubricant and its existence within a rifle.

    LAV would be Larry Vickers, and DD is Daniel Defense.

    That one threw me. Had to go back and look at your post count.

    I'm thinking he chose the M9 and M4 to better influence military folk?

    But from every one of my range days our armorers would walk around with a quart sized spray bottle of CLP and literally soak the inside of the upper receiver and BCG for you if you just asked.

    So put me in the camp that also didn't know under lubrication was an issue.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    I think it was a hammer fired selection, over striker fired.
    Oil filled striker channel in a GLOCK would lead to malfunction - to my limited understanding.
    No...I'm not crazy - and neither AM I !! Next question!!

    and DD rifle in the test. Could it be so?! Could the glory days of LAV
    with DD be returned?! Is the universe restoring balance to the shooting
    community?! Ok, but seriously guys.. did he leave BCM?

    Here's the vid.. enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9bOT_d60LM
