Those who use motor oil for lube...

I just lube when I clean. Thats every 1k to 1.5k rounds. After a thousand rounds, its still really slick.

Hmm, makes me feel better if i was in a bad situation & had to pull some off my dip stick huh... I could just see that, Tactical Dipstick Drill.... yesss.

i put 660 rounds through my MK18 clone the other day in 1.5hrs and the only place that did not have lube was the bolt tail, heres some pics of my BCG broken down




it probably would have gone another 200-400 rounds and this was with 2 drop in the cam pin slot and 2 drops in the gas vents so it would get on the gas rings, and 1 drop on each rail

yep, still slick but the bolt tail. Your right, probably could have.

I did use motor oil for years on my firearms. Last Nov. I had the privlidge of putting my upper on a fullauto lower and watched it go about 1000rounds that day...that oil burned off so fast. The tranny fluid on the other hand lasted longer and seem to migrate better wich was suggested by my uncle who uses it on his FA AR. It sucks he doesnt let anyone shoot his FA though....but was fun to watch.

Yep, if we end up seeing the new Tactical Dipstick Drill on Doomsday preppers one Tuesday night, we know they read this thread....
