Daniel Defense factory lube

[MikhailBarracuda91]

Another cheap option that’ll work is drug store mineral oil. Or you can use pretty much whatever looks slippery to any degree from the auto store or home improvement store. You don’t need much. Pretty much anything’ll work for a few hundred rounds. Including doing nothing, probably. I would only really sweat it if it were covered in that sticky/tacky stuff that Berettas come with. Don’t worry about buying solvents; just wipe whatever off with a rag or paper towel. Doesn’t have to be immaculate.

If Fiocchi 55gr .223 were available locally for a good price, I’d be shooting lots of it. I’ve not had any problems from the little I’ve shot.

Congrats on the new rifle. Welcome to the forum.
Don’t get wrapped up about oil.

Best lube for AR?

Pretty sure this one started out at a joke ... Lol

OP, just order some Slip2000 from Amazon.

I just got into a Colt 6920, coated fairly heavily with preservative. I hosed it down with brake cleaner, and lightly oiled all the steel, i.e., FCG, BCG, Lower end plate...etc. I used 3in1 oil, and some wheel bearing grease on the BCG. Got it zeroed over the weekend.

I would recommend the same. The preservative will most likely just make it that more difficult to clean, if it isn't removed.

What kind of lubrication does DD have when shipped from the factory? Just picked up a DDM4 V9, my first AR, but don't have any lube on hand since the shop was out of stock, and wonder if it's advisable to shoot right out of the box, maybe 50-100 rounds. Would that have any undue wear and tear? It's not really wet but it's not entirely dry either.

inspect and clean. I never lube a firearm until around the 1k mark. Lube can mask many many problems with an AR. The AR should work very lube. Mobil 1 is all you will ever need

Lube can mask many many problems with an AR? That is the opposite of everything I’ve ever heard or read concerning lubrication on the AR15. To the OP... when I get any new firearm I field strip, clean and lube properly. Some guns come dry, some dripping with oil, and some have a grease like substance in them. I like to know what I’ve got.

Yup! Most of what you heard is probably wrong, its the internet after all. Lol

I don’t know what brand lubricant DD uses. Having just picked up a DDM4 V11, the only thing I did was patched the barrel and went to the range. There was enough lubricant on the rifle that I had no worries shooting as is, right from the box.

LOL! I’m communicating right now via the internet.

Why use lubrication at all? If it’ll run while dry for 1000 rounds,then it should run for 5000 rounds.

After 5000 rounds, consider the barrel worn out, so just replace the upper.
