I Kinda' Like the Vapor Trail...

When I first took my Colt Armorer class, and then when I returned to the factory for my Inst. cert it was reinforced that the AR likes to be wet. I have taught that all over the country for almost a decade with no feedback problems.
I don't like to see the empties leaving a vapor trail of burning oil but it does not seem to bother the weapon.
I have been running several AR's of various bbl lengths by just keeping oil in the exhaust holes on every break with no cleaning for months with no problems. The key is to keep it well lubricated in the correct area.

Just one of the many golden nuggets from Dean's class last year. Some of the best training dollars I have spent.
We ran four carbines (one went down due to improperly staked castle nut, my bad) through Pat's class last week with nothing more than initially lubing the bolt carrier group and SLIP 2000 in the exhaust ports at morning, noon and evening prayers.;)
I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

Nah, we're auditory learners. Worked through The Boat School, law school and multiple EAG Carbine Operator Classes.;)
