| So i just bought some mil comm grease for my AR and I was reading the package and it said do not over lub ( or something to that effect). I was always told with an AR the wetter the better. So what is too much with mil comm? Im just a little confused on how much to lub up my bcg with the stuff. Thanks, |
| Last year I switched all of my cleaning over to Mil Comm products. It wasn't cheap, but I am convinced that it is the very best lubricant that money can by. Not just my opinion, they have the documents that prove it. I bought the small syringe that allows very small amounts of the product to put exactly where you want it. I also bought a larger bottle of each so I can refill the syringes when empty. Back in the early years it was taught to simply pour lubricanrt everywhere. Lubricants have come a long way since then, so has certain coating that we have today. Some of these coating have been proven that you don't need any lube at all. With the Mil Comm a small amount goes a long way, the more you use it the smoother it will run. Just a couple drops spread around with your finger is all you need. I use the oil in certain areas and I use the grease in others. Just make sure you clean the entire weapon in alcohol before using the Mil Comm as it doesn't mix with other lubricants. |

I use it on pistol rails and on Shotguns. Too much of a pain in the ass to use for everything though. I did use it on my AR once or twice. Worked fine but was a huge pain to clean off and re grease.
If you are gonna use it I would suggest that you get a small brush to spread it with, makes it much easier. I have come lube to based on what I have been taught here; if it rotates use oil, if it slides use grease. So AR's get CLP, pistol rails and shotguns get TW25B. When I am lazy, everything gets a good dose of CLP... 
But my HD and CCW guns get TW25B to all moving parts, it stays put and that is what is important. ETA: remember that their are different types of lube based on how they actually work. Here is a link that will explain it better then I could http://www.grantcunningham.com/lubricants101.html |

Yeah, I wouldn't but I guess it's the best
