    I use a mix of STP, Mobil 1, and a special ingredient suggested by a Vet...
    Yeah, I know a guy who made somethign similar. Called it his special 'IPSC Sauce'.

    Worked great in the summer.....locked the gun up in the winter, turned into syurp.

    Can it be done too many times?

    Will I wear it down just from taking it down so much?

    Are there better cheaper options than leftover motor oil?

    I also noticed in the cleaning your rifle thread that a bore snake was not mentioned... are they bad for the barrel?

    Thank you for any replies.
    The more senior guys here may correct me on this but...

    You can over a looooong time widen the takedown pin holes. I don't worry about this.

    I don't personally clean my barrels until I get over 1000 rounds through them or even longer. I'm not using a high enough powered optic, accurate enough ammo, or barrel grade that will let me see a huge difference from frequent cleaning. Cleaning can actually change your zero btw. You can also wear the barrel quite a bit by cleaning too much improperly.

    I use a bore snake every 300 rounds or so. I do a thorough cleaning every 1000. It's easy but not as good as using patches. It isn't going to hurt your barrel. It's just a fast alternative between major cleanings for me.

    Thanks. I must ask what the temp was where his locked up....it has snowed here for the past 2 weeks and mine seems fine. It's consistency is still of a liquid, not so much syrup. Do you have any recommendations for an alternative? I like the idea of the NiB BCG and may upgrade sooner than later but I don't want to lube it any less than the norm. From what I've read, ARs like to run 'wet'. And boy do I like to get it wet.

    Thank you

    Okay, so between you and foxtrot, major cleaning at 1000rds and snake it at roughly 300rds. I like this method and will give it try.

    Thank you, fellas.

    The best finish in my experience is that which you find on a Colt or BCM carrier. Not 40 grit like the fukking LMT ridiculousness.

    Those hold the lube and are smooth enough that they cycle well too.

    I've got Hard Chrome, Nickel Boron, and Failzero parts. None of them are bad... but none of them are better than a standard finish.

    Has anybody run similar tests between chrome-coated BCGs (such as RRA) and Ni-Bor BCGs?]

    Which would have less friction/wear?

    None of mine seem to wear.

    The standard carriers just rub a little finish smooth and take a set. Wear is a non issue for all of the finishes in me experience.

    I'll bet that chemical cocktail is just wonderful to breath in. Especially suppressed.
