Winterizing a rifle

[seekretsqrl]

Anyboby have any suggestions on a lube for the winter? I have a bcm 16" carbine for duty use and an Aimpoint t-1. It gets cold as hell out here (2 degress w/out wind chill right now). I'm currently using Break Free clp as a lube, anything better out there for cold weather? The rifle is in the trunk of a squad. Also, are there any issues with the p-mags is extreme cold weather?

I use "LAW" (Lubricant, Artic Weapons) for temperatures below 32 degrees.

To use you must remove all previous lubricants. Here in Wyoming we get temperatures -40 degrees + and what most people use freezes up here.

If you want your weapon to work in sub-freezing temps, this is what you need.

What is your sourse for LAW? I recommend it whenever this discussion comes up, however I get mine from Uncle Sugar, and have no idea where a non-mil guy can get it except from the obvious non-sustainable source. My google-fu is weak in this area since the info really isn't all that pressing for me.

I use FP-10 lube for training/competition in the winter. Militec-1 or WeaponShield in the warmer months.

I got lost looking at all that lube, which one is the LAW?
