I have the above AR 22LR. It's a good little trainer and plinker. My question, what oil/lubes do you use for such a rifle? I use frog lube or any such oil for my regular AR's. But I felt a very light oil would be preferable?

I used some very light oil I received from my Benellli shotgun's, I bought. Anyone with a preference. And any cleaning tips for the Smith &Wesson 15-22?

I've been using Slip2000 on mine. Keep the bolt carrier rails wet and put a drop on the extractor and the action spring.
As for cleaning, wipe the crud off of the bolt-face and the barrel extension and the stuff that collects in the upper receiver right behind breech.
If I run suppressed for any amount of time, I'll flush out the trigger group with whatever spray stuff I have on hand.
