Favorite Lube?
Up to this point I have been using Tufoil and have had ZERO problems but I was just wondering what y'all prefer as far as lube for your carbines. I've always sort of thought that the thinner stuff will go away and leave a carboned up action which would be pretty dry. I use Break Free CLP in everything else and have been very pleased. Have heard some of y'all prefer Break Free LP so all opinion welcome and wanted!!
As always, thanks!

i like using hops 9. goes on easy and cleans up really nice.

BF CLP as a general purpose lube. BF LP for the bolt and carrier.
On occasion I’ll use Tetra Oil.

Wally World synthetic 10W-30. Just ran Tactical Pistol with TigerSwan and all the USP received was the oil. No probs. The 6933 and 6920 run on the 10W-30 as well. No issues. I see no need to pay for any lubricating oil more expensive than this considering how well it has performed in high round count classes.

Slip 2000 (both the standard and EWL). This stuff is magical for the AR system. It stays even when the gun gets hot, and I've used it from 20-120+ degrees with no issues. It's also environmentally friendly and non-toxic, which is a plus when handling.
I've used 10W30 in a pinch with no problems. Some I know swear by it and it is easily available!!

A very light coat of Royal Purple Synthetic Motor Oil. Never had a hiccup yet. It just smokes a bit when I've used a little too much for high round count days...

First choices: Slip 2000 or EWL
Second: WS CLP
Third: TW25 or Tetra
I'll use BF CLP if it's all that's around. Good contingency CLP, but much better are available.
RemOil and Hoppes are unsat. They are sport/hobby lubes, and perform accordingly.
