    Slip, Breakfree, Mobil 1, which ever I grab off the shelf first. Usually Slip since it sits right next to the safe.

    I've been using WeaponShield the entire time I have been in Afghanistan with no problems at all, in both my M4 and Beretta. I emailed and asked FrogLube if they could send me something to try their product, I will use that here, run a few range sessions, and see how well it works.

    Gunzilla works pretty nice and stays pretty slick. It does a good job not collecting dust out on the west deserts of Utah.
    Cleans great and has no real smell. The more I use it the faster the clean up jobs seem.

    AR-15:
    Break Free LP generously on the bolt and bolt carrier rails.
    Break Free CLP lightly on the firing pin and ejector plunger.
    Break Free CLP lightly everywhere else.

    Semi-Auto Pistols:
    Break Free CLP generously on the slide rails, barrel link/cam, and locking lugs.
    Light CLP everywhere else.
    (Except carry 1911, which gets light grease on rails and lugs, light CLP everywhere else.)

    .22 rifles, Mini-14, pump shotguns:
    Break Free CLP.

    Grease retains firing by-products whereas Breakfree LP or CLP, or a similar liquid lube, suspends them and then you can just wipe it off. Liquid lube cleans up much easier than contaminated grease. For instance, if you use Breakfree LP or CLP, you can clean up with CLP and keep on going. If you use grease, you have to use some solvent to dissolve the grease and then re-lubricate. If you lube with Breakfree LP or CLP, and you're out in the field and fire a bunch of rounds, just adding more CLP will tend to wash out the contaminated stuff. But if you lube with grease, and add more grease, you're just getting more gunked up grease.

    Only thing I use grease on is the rails and lugs of carry 1911s, because (1) I don't want CLP to run onto my clothes, and (2) if you ever have to use it, you're not going to fire a carry 1911 enough times to gunk up the grease.

    It seems like a lot of people are using Mobil 1 or other synthetic motor oil with good success. But after reading this article from Grant Cunningham ...

    I wonder if anyone has tried using synthetic ATF (maybe with some Slick 50 added)? I am a little concerned about prolonged exposure to additives (benzene, etc.) that are used in motor oil but not in ATF. Is ATF too thin?

    Slip 2000/2000 EWL.

    Either works for me. I like the fact its non-toxic, compared to ol' CLP.
