How does this hold up after hard use, say 500-1000 rounds? Does the oil/t-fluid cake up after being fouled from carbon? Does cleaning require more effort than when the bolt is lubed with traditional solvents?MesaCranker said:Tetra Gun Grease on the slide rails and CLP on everything else.
For my AR, I make a concoction of Mobil 1 Synthetic 20w-50 and Mobil 1 Synethic ATF. 2:1 ratio. Good and thick and stays put!
I have not shot more than 400 rounds at a time with mine, but I have never had to re-oil as opposed to when I used Break Free CLP which was needing a couple shots in the exhaust ports on the carrier every 200 rounds or so. It's also no harder to clean than any other oil. It's just a tad bit thicker than your average gun oil and doesn't "dry up". The ATF does, however, add a slight sulfuric smell to it but it will go away after a couple of days of being on the weapon.moga said:How does this hold up after hard use, say 500-1000 rounds?

im really diggin the m-pro 7 oil. i never really liked grease because it seems to get really tacky after a while.jklotz said:Sexual jokes and throw the "gun in the dishwasher" aside, what lube do you prefer? Over on the Sig forum, many are proponents of a grease on the slide rails. Anybody using a gun grease? What are the pro's and cons?
