    BURN OFF?????

    Dry film lube the upper that is all that is needed oiling the bolt and carrier is useless, it burns off on the first or second round
    Absolutely not true at all.
    My old FP-10 and my new Weapon Shield remain on the bolt carrier (and visibly wet) after countless rounds. That is EASY enough for anyone to see and prove just by using.

    5000 rounds a day

    Koniz

    No one that I know of fires 5000 rounds a day from a single weapon from any practical standpoint, of course, unless you are testing as you are at SA, I assume, and on multiple weapons.

    5000 rounds is not a realistic comparison to the average, competition, or military shooter who fires under real world and not ideal test conditions.

    Addendum: While dry film lubricants have shown some degree of success under ideal conditions, they have proven to be less than reliable under real world and hostile conditions involving large amounts of debris and sand, as well as high humidity and or water.

    Regards,
    George

    I tried some industrial grade dry film lubricant on a couple rifles once some years ago. If somebody wants it, I'll let 'em have it for shipping, there's hardly any missing.


    P.S. That is, if I can find it.

    My personal observations contradict this statement.

    Maybe you meant 500 rounds. But I would even have to doubt that. A completely dry AR will not usually run past 100 rounds before it ceases to function. A wet AR will run for a very long time dirty.

    I've now run 1 of mine past 1800 rounds without cleaning with only adding lube every 3-400 hundred rounds.
