Couple of weeks ago we had several nights of temps running around -15, I left a PSA FN 14.5 mid gas in a container for a few days along with a mix of ammo in Gen 3 PMAG's. Early morning while temps were still low I tried it out, BCG lightly lubed with Slip EWL I could not get a round to chamber from the mag, would hang up just short of fully going into battery and FA was useless. Single load a round and it would function semi auto but could not get first round to load from mag. Gave up went home and drank coffee. Next day cold rifle still would not chamber, after lubing the hell out of BCG with Slip ELW worked fine, no longer believe the old saw that excessive lube is bad in extreme cold, not if using the correct lube.
