Sloppy wet.
You don?t want that thing to be stroking hard and suddenly catch traction.
I also lube my AR bolts too.

Didnt really see any +- on any particular brand aside from CLP, which to me isn't much of a cleaner or lube. It does work great for keeping a finish looking fresh - ArmorAll for guns.
The only time I like grease is on a heavily loaded sliding fit like a 1911 slide. An AR bolt carrier isn't loaded the same way a pistol slide is.
I use synthetic motor oil. Lots of it.
I figure it keeps the sludge soft keeps it from building up into hard carbon deposits.
After 1,000 rounds or so I might wipe off the BCG and add some more oil but thats about it.
I mainly shoot 16-18 inch barrels suppressed. I dont even remember the last time I shot an AR without a can.
I like to use grease on the 1911 locking lugs and oil at the bushing. Seems to work well.Quote:
