I use G96 works great. Follow the instructions, spray everything down, wait a minute and wipe it off.
To much of any lube is bad in the cold.

Best cold weather rifle platform?? What is it?
What’s the best cold weather platform? AK47 AK74 A couple that come to mind Had -12°f this morning. Decided to try charging my “truck gun” which is just a simple MP15 Sport II. The BCG ran like turtles racing through molasses. Lubed with Slip 2000 about a month ago and sitting since then...

it was -40 earlier this week and mine seemed to run fine, but typically what I've seen most common is light primer strikes due to condensation freezing in the system. Not sure if lube matters for that at all. Wet, dry, thick or thin...ice happens.

I forget what we used in Alaska, but it either CLP or LAW. At one point I think we used dry stuff as well but that could have just been what I was using on personal stuff?
right here, nothing else comes close. Have used up to -14 but in reality, less is more in extreme cold tempsMobil 1™ 0W-8
