MILITEC-1 or Mil-Comm

[sigmeister229]

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)

Grease only

There's no "Magic" lubrication.. Know where to apply it and when and how much and you will have cracked the code.

Personally...I use what ever I can get for free.. which means I've tried them all and surprise.. they all work pretty good.

ARs work best with an oil type of lube. Consider it a consumable. Use it a lot and often. It's pretty hard to 'overlube' an AR.

I Totally agree. It all depends on how hard you run your weapon. I use more if I'm going to burn through 500 rounds or more in a session, using Slip 2000 EWL and less if practicing precision supported bench fire and various handguns using militech. YMMV.

You're gonna get the laundry list as which lube works best, even synthetic motor oil and Sargent Major's brew (A mix of diesel/motor oil and various combinations known to man.). There are several threads on here addressing this issue. Use what ever blows your skirt up. Just use it.

Read this thread- Lubrication Issues (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=6443).

It will give you all the information you need.

I use SLiP 2000 as my primary lubricant. Others use different stuff. Make an informed choice.

Good luck.

FWIW, on my pistols I've found Militec to do a better job if you're going a long time between cleaning & lubricating the gun. I've been known to go a few rounds without PM:

Do yourself a favor and leave the grease alone.
SLIP 2000 is your friend.
