| I'm just about finished building my M4gery and was wondering if using Eno's Slide Gilde would make the rifle smoother than just plain gun oil. The reason i ask is because i just started using SG on my Sig 226 and the improvement is substantial. Also would there be any drawback to using it on my AR. I've already used it on all the lower parts and noticed a difference |

The AR/Stoner action is direct gas. This means that gas is pumped directly into the bolt carrier group to make the action work, unlike AK, FAL, etc. which have a gas piston remote from the action. Powder ash is pumped into your BCG along with the gas. Any kind of grease in your receiver will collect this ash. The more you shoot, the more gooey and abrasive you get. I recommend using Break Free LP and Break Free CLP (the incomprable cleaner/maintainer QUIB does too). LP is basically CLP without the cleaning solvent. It is heavier and stays where you put it better than does CLP. Both oils tend to suspend powder ash so it can be wiped away. Generously lubricate the bolt carrier group with LP. Lightly lubricate the firing pin with CLP. Lubricate everything else on the gun with CLP. |
THIS.........is good advice. It's what I do. I keep CLP Break Free in my range bag. |

This is what I use along with my trusted Breakfree CLP. CorrosionX I do use a very lite coating of high temp. grease on my buffer spring. www.corrosionx.com/ |
