    For a rifle that is going to sit a long time in a safe I like to use a special light weight grease type lube. I find it stays put and doesn't run all down the charging handle and seam between the upper and lower receiver.

    When shooting I have a little tube of oil that I keep in the grip as it is easier to squeeze on.

    I hate CLP. All that crap does is act like a magnet for dirt and grime. My bolt in Iraq hasn't seen CLP once this whole deployment

    I still have a bunch of Militec-1 leftover from a deployment. Otherwise, BF CLP is the old standby.

    I use stuff called "Tri-Flow". It's got teflon in suspension, I don't know if that's good or bad. You do have to remember to shake it first. I do know that it's worked well in every firearm I own. I thought that maybe I never ran a gun hard enough to show it's weakness, but it performed well at a 3 day Magpul carbine class.
    Just my .02

    I used to use Tri-Flow on my mountain bike chain back in the day. Worked well.

    That's how I found it. Then I saw the picture of a firearm on the label and thought, what the heck. If it works in the heat of the New Mexico desert, it might stand up. So far, it has.

    I'm not oil scientist and all but somebody once said that if it allows my motor to start at really cold/ hot temps and run at higher temps than my gun will ever see for 5000 miles, then its good enough to put on my gun.

    Now I realize there is a lot more to "lube" than that over simplified statement but it makes sense to me that my F250 runs harder, hotter and for longer durations than my AR ever will.

    I've been using it for a few years now and it's working for me.

    Oh and go here for some science:

    Read through there is actually some good data on why the Mobile1 topic is taken seriously

    Slip 2000 EWL for AR Bolts.
    Ballistol for the FALs, especially the gas system parts.
