Seasoning the Bolt Carrier?

[T2C]

If you don't want to hear the scraping sound in the video, try dabbing a little grease on the buffer and spring and put some lube on the charging handle.

Thankfully, I haven’t heard one ’Sproing!’ in 3k rounds through my Sport II.

Buy rifle (or BCG).
Douse with Slip 200 EWL (or your favorite flavor).
Give it the full send.

You know, it amazing how many ways people can find to do exactly the same thing.

Soaking a BCG in oil in the Sun is creative, but I'm not gonna try it.

I've found that a little action grease on the carrier and charging handle, and oil on the bolt works good. And I found that actions tend to get smoother with time.

I like Slip 2000 and I found the Machine Gun Lube from Sprinco.com works well.

Didn't read entire thread. Think bcg seasoning is bs.

I think not enough people lube their charging handles.

While harmless, a rasping sound when charging the rifle is annoying, so I like a bit of oil on my CH.

Just store your spare BCG disassembled in a mason jar filled with Mobile 1 synthetic.

Good God man, lube the crap out of it with Mobil 1 or whatever, throw it in upper and run it.

And be cautious of “ big tactical guys” that refer to their “team bro’s”, especially in gun shops.

I’m a car salesman in Colorado Springs and I think all the “cool guys” spend more time buying a new truck after a deployment than they do at the LGS. I’m always cautious to repeat anything as I’ve heard some whoppers.

Hi,
Well...Whether it is a new 1911 pistol or an AR15, I run everything "wet" the first 2 or 300 rds. for break in.

After that I don't think you are doing to much, everything should be pretty well "seated" by then?

Not unlike breaking in a new piston engine, changing the oil, after a little running, of the pistons rings on the cylinder walls!
