| What type of grease are you using for your bolt groups and other parts?i |
|
Quoted:
When you guys are talking about oil on parts, I assume we are talking about all the moving parts? Bcg, charging handle, trigger assembly? I use a dab of high temp grease on the barrel nut-the Harbor Freight variety-works just fine for me  . As far as the rest, I just use rem oil and follow this LUBE POINTS

When I install a hammer and/or trigger, I put a dab of grease inside the pin bore for each part. I never put any other grease in the lower or upper, ever - it tends to collect and hole crap that can cause problems and extra wear. Picture something sticky like grease catching part of a blown primer...what sort of mischief could that cause?
Anyway, thin lubes for the working parts of an AR, only oils or "CLP-like" lubes. I'm currently using Mobil 1 for most things. |

In my experience XF-7 used according to the instructions does not collect crap.
I have used it for several years now and I have not seen any signs of abnormal wear. Of course in the conditions I live in I probably could lay on the Lubriplate 130-A and not have a problem. My typical usage is target shooting and hunting a person with a more serious use would be well advised to stick with what is known to work in a variety of conditions. |
