What are you using to clean/lube your AR 15...Im using frog lube but not sure yet

Yeah, I've read about that ammo test. My personal results, though not with the same firing/cleaning/maintenance regimen obviously, are different. I've never used Tula so I can't comment on that.

I've also read about lacquer clogging gas ports, broken extractors, stuck cases, etc. My personal experience is different and I'd be surprised if I've fired less than 50k rounds of steel ammo through my Colts. I'd also be willing to wager that the percentage of people who have had horrific experiences with steel-cased/lacquer-coated ammo vs the number of people who've reportedly had horrific experiences with the same ammo is probably very, very small.

You mean someone, someone know,s has a freind, who read about issues from another board members friend and their steel case issues?

So much dumb fuck info regarding steel case in this thread.....show me ONE case of a rifle being fucked up by steel cased ammo.......

All my ar gets is steel cased(over 10k and counting)

And mobile 1 synthetic oil for lube

I'd throw my ar against any gun on this board reliability wise

yup some of the 7.62x54r i have shot out of a 91/30 have stuck so bad you damn near needed a hammer to get the bolt to turn

Had a FAL rip the rear of a steel case off once. One of the reasons they make broken shell extractors.

ETA: Lube - Rig

I use Mil Comm stuff. MC25 degreaser and their lubricant. Works well for me.

I keep a bottle of Hoppees solvent around for really dirty stuff but I hate that it stinks up the house.

The beauty of them Commie guns is you CAN use a hammer to unstick the bolt.

What i got from that article is your fine with steel cased ammo just clean your rifle, understand you might have to deal with a stuck case once in a long while and that your barrel life will be shorter with bi-metal jackets (i think cheap S&B ammo has a bi-metal jacket). As for the Tula, who knows. It might have been the rifle, a bad batch or it is really that bad but my friend has gone through a couple of spam cans worth and has not had a problem yet.

Yep...that sounds about right.
