A person who is not inwardly prepared for the use of violence against him is always weaker than the person committing the violence. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
Very informative, thanks for posting that.
To the main topic, never tried CB, I read about it on TOS and was interested at first, but IMO, it was just too expensive for the amount you get and I didn't see any problems it would be addressing. I mainly use slip ewl & ewg (applied in the same areas as mentioned in the above article) and it pretty much covers the bases without any issues.

I never understood Frog Lube. It's vegetable oil. If you leave vegetable oil sitting around exposed to air, it deteriorates and turns rancid, no? I assume Cherrybalmz doesn't suffer from this issue?
Grease in an AR turns into a gooey black sticky mess. I still haven't found anything that works better than Mobil 1

You guys must be using the right amount of grease in the right places. I've seen an AR that where the BCG and inside of the upper receiver were both coated in a black sticky mess of grease. I washed it all out with seafoam then lubed it up with oil like you normally would then it was slicker than snot. Owner was happy. I'm glad it works for you guys but personally I'll just oil the AR and save the grease for the M1 garand
What type of grease was used? The article shared above discusses the appropriate weight grease for use in guns.
Yes, I use a light coating on just the bearing surfaces alone. "If it slides; grease it. If it rolls; oil it." Stays put and wipes up easy, ready for a reapplication every few range days.
I use a mixture of Slip 2000 EWG and Tetra Gun Grease. I basically squeezed out the tube of Tetra into a 3/4 full plastic jar of the EWG and stirred it with a popsicle stick. I have found that the mixture is a lot slicker than either alone. I do the same thing with Slip 2000 EWL and Tetra Gun oil. Amazing stuff.
I've switched all my shooting buddies over too. Everyone who handles one of my rifles or pistols remarks on how slick the actions are. FWIW.
