    ARs in sub zero temperatures

    Worth giving a try and seeing if it works in your environment. Shoot it dirty and on that cleaning decide summer or winter lube. Winter is the easy button. As I start shooting minre over the next few months, as it warms up I will update.

    Yes I leave it on, when I shoot a higher volume I just add CLP when/where needed. And fall a good cleaning and back to all winter balm

    I also have a GAP ar10 on the seekins upper and lower in manbun. It’s my predator gun, never any issues. George knew it was coming to Alaska and would be used year round. Unknown if anything specific was done to accommodate below zero or not. It’s taken spring black bears and winter wolves...

    ARs in sub zero temperatures

    I stripped it down between each test. Start to finish was 3.5 to 4.5 months. I also predatory hunt off snow machine. Never had an issue going from slung over the back to shooting. May be just enough heat to keep it from getting weird. After each shot I would lock to the rear close dust...

    I started with different oils. Then I mixed AeroShell synthetic grease and oil. Last thing I tried was the winter balm. That’s what’s on all my AR’s now.

    I use the winter balm from cherry balms. Live in the interior of Alaska. -52 is where shit gets weird and no fire. A few years back I was bored one winter and left a Colt commando outside all winter and fired 1 round every morning when I got home off the midnight shift. -51 or warmer it...
