I’m too poor to buy cheap stuff
in a nutshell.
for mobil 1, there isn't anything that comes remotely close at that pricepoint and let's be honest, if you're running around with your AR in -50 degrees, I'm pretty sure you know to leave it outside overnight and to apply little to no lube (though some countries recommend lots of lube). either way, mobil 1 destroys the competition imho
Don’t forget Hensoldt!Brother. Nightforce? Gross
We rocking ZCO, Schmidt, and the all mighty Tangent dawg.
Looks like Husky and Krob are NF haters.. can I add anyone else?
Bingo! I live just down the road from Ft Greely, and deal with the glory of Alaska winter. Honestly for winter lube a very thin film of whatever —-works. I have used every brand listed and more, with no issues. My duty issued Colt M4 has not had any issues—- it’s in/out my vehicle often. Agency policy is hot standby in the in the rack. I wait as long as possible letting rifle and mag cold soak before loading hot. Little experience and not overthinking.
During one of my Winter DM Courses, one of my good friends brought a Noveske AR-15. It was very cold, lots of snow and ice all over.
He started having malfunctions with it, so I checked it out, felt like he poured fine sand all over inside the action.
Me: “I put out to show up with a well-lubed rifle. This thing has sand all inside it."
Him: “I did lube it thoroughly!"
Me: “With what?"
Him: “Frog lube."
There wasn’t any sand in sight for miles, but it felt like moon dust inside the action. Whatever Frog Lube is made of, it crystalized and granulated into a fine particulate coating that made a normally-slick Noveske AR-15 run like a parts bin poverty pony dipped in cement.
I had heard all kinds of advertising about Frog Lube, but put it on my “avoid like plague" list after that.
Wasn’t a problem for me, since I was using Slip2000.
I have used Slip2000k down to about -10 never an issue. Good low temp oil but runs just as well when it’s 90 plus out!
I tried frog lube for my Benelli duck gun since it was supposed to be the best for corrosion resistance. It did very well at gumming everything up and causing grief in the cold. I still use it like cosmoline for long term storage.
I think most people way over lube ARs. If you look at the wear marks on the bolt it basically tells you were it needs lube. Seen too many bolts and bolt carriers caked in lube and powder from over lubing.
Yea typically I make it a habit to avoid anything with frog, delta, tactical, seal, etc. The more low key the name is I've found it to be better.
Slip2000 is my go to oil and only reason I'll try lucas oil gun oil is because I was given it and I've never used anything bad from Lucas oil.
Same with shooters choice all purpose grease.
I don't use any lube on the outside of my bolt. Can we get this thread back on track?
Jokes on you, we can't read.
Slip2000 and MobilOne have kept this one running for the past 8 years…
Only reason I started using Slip2k was LWRC recommended it on their piston guns. Otherwise there is always Mobile one leftover in the bottom of a jug after an oil change. I should collect it all, relabel it and sell here on the hide… come get some BCX oil

It’s an old Hard Target Innovations pad. Not even sure they make them anymore. I got it around the same time I got the rifle in 2014.
It’s really good at gripping a bag.
Blue Mountain Precision, It’s a hawk hill heavy varmint contour.
Finally got a much needed thumbhole for the AT
Time to get a ZCO or TT for that thing!
Shhhhh you can’t be spoiling my plans lol. The 735 is going back on my vudoo. Something that rhymes with core-funny is in the works
I see Europtics has a demo 4-16x42 mil xt
Zco or NF is the only way to roll
Bender sucks. And TT is a compromise

I really want to try the 4-16 but IDK if it’s enough magnification.
They could give them things away and I wouldn't take one. TT>ZCO>SB>Simmons>Vortex>NF
That page is cut short ,right after Stock/Chassis
Shaft / Anus Heavy Lubricate - leave dry
Must be reading your barret mrad manual right?
Barrett manual states dry for both, sand and grit doesn't foul a Barrett.
I guess when it shoots and feels worse then a savage I guess lube isn't going to help anything
Son, all I've ever asked of my Hide Members is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the AI Rifle Owners, because inside every 6.5 creedboy there is an American trying to get out to buy a Barrett MRAD in 338 lapua. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Someone I like said something bad ab Nightforce. Well! Time to sell it!
That’s my question. I know they said the TT is the king, but I also read the comparison that said the G3 Razor can keep up with them to a certain point.
I need to track one locally and take a peek to see if the end justifies the means. My G2 Razor has done pretty well up to this point.
