You a Marine? The only other person I've ever heard say that did it in the Marine Corps

I've got a no lube car for sale if anyone is buying? Hope you don't mind the warrant is about 5 minutes long....
Extended .mil operations of +30 day durations can make even a well maintained weapon a PITA to turn in to the Armorer.
M2 and M240's were usually the worst for this, NTC was famous for giving someone a NO GO before they even got a the weapon up to the window. Once I got them started with hot soapy water, the pass to fail rate dropped off to near zero.
It's not so much a big deal now that I'm retired, cleaning my weapon is much different because it will never have the amount of crap on it or number of rounds fired through it without the detailed cleaning necessary to avoid that sort of Fluster Cluck.
If you own an AK that might have had some corrosive ammo through it at one time or another this is fairly common place/knowledge.
All that being said anyone making such claims about a weapon not needing lube is very suspect.
If you're taking money from suspect advertisers, what does that say about the rest of your content?
Hmmmm.
I would not drive my car in the desert w/o engine coolant either but I'm not putting it in my gun.
When I was studying engines we were told the oil in your engine has 2 jobs.
#1 carry off heat.
#2 lubrication.
In a gun, oil's main function is lubrication. And in a very few guns the lube may be a necessity to make the gun function. In most, however, it is simply there to reduce wear.
Glocks, for example, operate just fine with no oil what so ever.
They will not gunk up, which is a problem with people that over oil and they will not freeze in extreme cold. Which also happens to people that over oil.
It would be tough to wear out an unoiled Glock unless someone was providing free ammo.
My experience with AR's, in general, is dripping wet with oil during breakin is OK, and many times necessary. But judicious oiling after that seems to work just fine.
Cars and guns - 2 totally different machines.

Looks like the Anderson rep showed up...

He didn't say none, he said "judicious", which is perfectly applicable to oiling an AR, or
anything else for that matter. :)
Yeah but first two posts happen to be in this and the other Anderson thread?
Haha....yeah.... :)

If the gun and bolt are DLC coated i wouldnt doubt it doesnt need oil. Nothing sticks to it and its slick as snot.
