After 1 range trip.
yes, works. but you don't need that much. less than half of that will work just as good.
>le grease is le magic sand magnet fuddlore
It's true though. This is why modern guns are designed with literally ZERO lubrication in mind.
guns are designed with worst case szenarios in mind. it has nothing to do with your shitty fuddlore.
The AR-15 was designed in the late 1950s. WE ain't talking about your plasti-fag pistol here.
Is stuff from the 50s old now?
Can someone point me towards some sort of retirement/old folks subreddit? I think that's where I'm supposed to go and wait until I die.
Well, it's not considered "modern," that's for sure.
If you were born in the 50s yeah you'd be considered old now.
considering if you were born then you're likely retired yeah
yeah 50's is not only in "retro" territory but also firmly in "vintage" territory too. the 50's was 70 years ago man, let it go.

Don't see any Ruger Standards in either of the retard's pictures. Those are the gay Mark IV 22/45 models, with the gay cock(ing) ring.
There is only 1 pistol in that picture.
What kind of salt do you put in your bug genocider?
Buy garden gnome salt, Kosher salt is nice and coarse. Add a bunch of baking soda to a thing of kosher salt, that's exactly what they sell as "high performance" salt for these guns, just kosher salt with extra anti-caking additives.
I wonder if pissy boy is still around somewhere.
Schizo anon is still here. He posts a lot of monkey rekt videos on adult gif.
A baby monkey torture enthusiast? Poor fuck can't be racist IRL, so he feels the need to take it out in the most pedozoophilic path possible?
Yeap. He gets banned all the time, jumps IPs and continues to post. He will hardcore sperg out and accuse every one of either being Daydream with out his trip on, or a non white noguns, given he is a mudskin himself.

Blast your intuition!
Thanks for finally listening to my recipe. I have been trying to tell all the gays on this Indonesian handjob forum about this for years. High-temp wheel bearing grease, some motor oil, mixed to the consistency of grape jelly. No better gun lube for ANY gun. And for about $10 you have essentially a lifetime's supply.
Any lubrication works, it just all boils down to how much time you don't mind spending wiping off excess oil from your weird goyoil mixture when it's time to clean.
I've never found myself thinking, "I need better lube for this gun."
What leads you to wanting to find some sort of "better" lube for your guns?
What troubles do you encounter with non-detergent 30W oil or one of those $3 bottles of Hoppes?
I'm genuinely curious.
it starts out by reading some stuff about the details of lubrication. then I realize there is so much more going on than just "oil is slippery" and I try to get a decent enough understanding, on the "interested layman" level. once I have a decent understanding I want to find an optimal solution for my lubrication needs because why settle for less?
So it's not filling a need, it's a case of "it's good enough, but I can make it better" ? That I can understand.
You focus on this so you can distract yourself from the truth (you are a shitty shooter) and to distract you from the most important thing (you don't shoot)
well ain't you a charmer.

This would be great for a very wet environment. Try it in an environment where sand blows freely (southwest US) and you're gonna have a bad time.
I've seen the slop in upper receivers after being forced to run with what is essentially lapping compound (grease+sans). It eventually leads to seizing of the BCG. But what do I know, I've only been running them for 20 years.
No no, the idea of sand sticking to grease/oil is fuddlord don't you know?
Can't possibly get sand in there, I mean, have you ever seen sand? I'm not convinced it's even a thing.
Unrelated, what the fuck is a desert?
for the extremely uncommon situation of actually being in a place with common dust/sand storms, a dry lubricant would probably be best. for everyone else, and I bet that includes you, grease is the best lubricant.
Holy shit you're an actual child, never actually left the city before have you?
I sure as shit don't grease my guns, and I have to clean them diligently after every range trip to remove all the grit. There is sand for hundreds of miles in every direction, you think you need a sandstorm to get some dust in the air? Set that thing out on a bench at my local range for 30 minutes and there will be sand and bugs stuck on that jellied bolt you've got there.
You should travel, go to the American southwest, discover what a desert is actually like. Go shooting in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, places where there is nothing but fine sand and <20% humidity. Rust isn't a concern out here, but if you spend a day outside you will have sand in your pockets, and in the action of your AR.
post pictures of your surroundings, sand guy.
A little dark at 5AM I'm afraid.
Why don't you google "American Southwest" if you really want to see what sand looks like?

Why are you talking like we should've known you have 20 years experience? Did you make a wrong turn on your way to r/ar-15?
Hey buddy no worries, this is just how Americans talk.
You see, when he says, "But what do I know, I've only been running them for 20 years," he's actually fully aware you didn't already know that, he's actually telling you something you didn't already know because he wants you to be aware of it.
>Hey buddy no worries, this is just how Americans talk
No
Hey there friend, don't be disparaging your neighbor over here, it's when we work together that we see the best of mankind don'tchyaknow? We don't you grab a Moosehead, we can all talk about the Gold Cup Parade last week, weren't that something ey buddy?
This dude knows what's up. ~15 years ago when frog lube was popular it gummed up every single semiauto in the southwest. Never grease again.
Youve been running for 20 years? DYEL confirmed
there are definitely more people with sandbox operator delusion syndrome than people who actually have to take ubiquitious sand into consideration.
You've never been west of the Mississippi have you?
There is desert in the US, people live in it. Shocking, I know, but sand actually is a concern out here. It peels the paint off cars, ruins windshields and headlights, it fills shoes and pockets, gets in the crack of your ass, makes every meal outside just a little bit crunchy, and consistently gets on any and every greased surface.
then take this and shut up, sand boy. also post pics of your desert.
That's great that you live in a swamp, some of us actually live in a desert where dust is always blowing around in the wind even if you can't see it
NO YOU'RE WRONG!
Without a sandstorm you can't possibly get your gun dirty, and there are no sandstorms in the US, just like there are no deserts in the US.
Ever been to Arizona, or Utah? It's like fucking Brazil, god damned jungles.
Has anyone ever had a lubricant induced failure? I've tried about a dozen different lubes and they all work fine.
no, never. not even after stuffing super tacky complex grease into the firing pin channel on purpose, to see if it could pose a problem. I doubt anything hammer fired would ever care. a striker with a long travel might, I don't know. what absolutely could go wrong is a lubricant that solidifies under extreme cold. just check the technical data for temperature range.
>what some people's range trip looks like, apparently
Literally every time.
You forget the entire southwest up to Utah and parts of California and Texas is desert as fuck. Fucking imbecile.
There is no desert in the US, there is no sand. It's impossible to get sand in your gun without a full-blown sandstorm which doesn't ever happen in the US. Maps are wrong, science is wrong, the entire American Southwest is actually a verdant and lush jungle.
Actual children who have never left their daycare center in San Francisco, much less shot their disgusting and pointlessly jellied guns.
>the entire american southwest is actually a verdant and lush jungle
My part of heaven turned into western WA after weeks of constant rain. I can't even see the prickly pear cactuses through the overgrown green grass.
That's awful, just think of all the wasted rabbits out there unable to hide, all the fat coyotes not even trying. It's a damn shame.
>Go outside to go shooting
>Most empty shooting playgrounds are dustbowls / mountainous / grasslands
You can really tell when people don't go further than 20 miles from their home.
and you drag your rifle through the first patch of sand you see?
I grew up in W. Texas where we had to put wet rags under doors and windows if the wind was out of that direction in a storm due to the dirt blowing. Literal raining mud for the first half minute of a thunderstorm until the precipitation cleaned out the air sometimes.
In normal weather, sub 50mph winds, this has not been a problem even if the dirt was blowing. The majority of dirt/sand is not fucking dried kentucky clay dust. We could be out there, dicks in the dirt of a caliche pit for 4 hours, and the only problems we had were if we got our bolts hot and fouled enough to burn off all the lube.
Tl;dr: even if the dirt was blowing hard enough to burn your face, our rifles still worked. What part if the US are you in where simple dirt blowing in normal weather has been enough to induce malfunctions in your rifle despite it still being wet?
This is not a smart ass question either. Not every regions soil blows the the same, so I want to learn something today.
Were you dipping your bolts in grease mixed with motor oil?
The question isn't whether or not guns work in dusty environments, because they totally do, it's whether or not applying a totally unnecessary shitload of grease would cause problems in a dusty environment.
I'm willing to bet if you grew up within 100 miles of Lubbock, you were probably taking care of guns correctly, or at the very least not slathering them in blackened jizz.
> 100m of Lubbock
Midland's a bit further than that, but damn, bro, even Clovis is within 100mi of Lubbock. I wouldn't tell them they're W. Texas in person though.
>Were you dipping your bolts in grease
Nah, just a light rub of #0 on the BCG, cam pin, and bolt lugs, along with any pistol slide rail or barrel. Everything else got whatever thin oil we had lying around.
I dunno where this idea that mixing a thin grease with a poof of sand turns it into loctite clover came from. Anyone who's ever done wood turning or glass abrasion can tell there's a SHITLOAD of silicon carbide plus some tacky ass grease in most abrasive compounds. Lubriplate and some moon dust on the wind isn't going to cut it. Brushing out the forbidden cookie dough from around extractors is kind of messy though.
I use Teflux ptfe spray
I wouldn't. the decomposition fumes are corrosive.
use this if you want dry lube:

grease is a retarded idea but you keep doing you. you're just going to attract more dirt and dust than you would otherwise.

Oh really?
Well I use grease and oil on all my guns and never had an issue, but you do you.
I use pic related and live and shoot out in West Texas. Never had a problem with sand getting stuck in the rifle. And yes I larp and shoot prone so the gun does get dirty. Never had a problem.
This is what it looked like last time I cleaned it.
impossible! fudd wisdom dictates that sand and gravel will leap right into the action.
Not without a sandstorm, do you not read?
I'm actually surprised, 11 days fucking around black gap had my ar looking like a dirty bitch
Wow a thread full of materials engineers who know better than the companies who made their guns. Dip your bolt in grape jelly, I mean, it's so obvious. This will surely help the rifle to do exactly the same thing it does already, while being slick and gross, what an amazing advantage!
Seethe, gay.
cant stop thinking about cock
>I learned the word seethe recently, gay.
ftfy
>using anything else
One of these jugs will last you at least a year. Plus it's cheaper than the normal stuff.
the main purpose of oil on a gun is rust prevention. you don't need a shit load of oil to keep your gun from rusting. if it looks like your gun is oily you have too much oil on it. only a few points on a gun need enough oil to even be visible.
>slide rails
>bolt raceways
>locking surfaces
that's about it. even a single drop is enough. motor oil is a poor rust inhibitor. grease is just oil that's thicker so it doesn't run off, which doesn't really matter because you shouldn't have enough oil on your gun for run off to be a problem. clean your guns. dumping oil into the action isn't cleaning it.
This thread proves you wrong, it's clear that the best thing you can do for your AR is apply a full ounce of sticky oily homebrew grease mixture directly to the BCG.
I think it's pretty funny that people still think synthetic motor oil is hot shit when some companies (Glock, as if anyone's heard of them) tell you that's a fucking stupid idea. Synthetic motor oil is chock-full of additives that you do not need in a gun, including ones that can be harmful to your polymer frame. Know what's cheaper than synthetic motor oil and actually okay? 30W non-detergent oil, also known as machine oil, gun oil, compressor oil (NOT AIR TOOL OIL), or pressure washer oil, it'll run you about $3 for a fucking quart which is enough for about 1000 lube-jobs. It's the correct thing to use, it's what you'll find in *most* bottles of gun lube.
Most gun oils are mineral oil with some additives ime
You're exactly right, and that's what 30W non-detergent oil is, mineral oil with the bare minimum of additives.
Canola oil is actually a fine gun lube but mobil1 synthetic motor oil is better
Grease is trash and sucks in frigid cold weather
you're a fucking idiot. there are greases with operating temperature ranges of down to -70 °F. it depends on the pour point of the base oil. there are oils which harden much sooner.
The most common greases people are using are high temp greases so they don't melt off but when they get cold they become like taffy
>The most common greases people are using are
how do you know? have you done a survey?
you do realize that even high temperature greases can have very low minimum operating temperatures, because again it depends on the base oil. fucking idiots pulling truisms out of their asses to rationalize their gut feelings...

Shoulda dipped it in jelly, woulda worked more better.
Even if using a shit load of lube doesn't cause sand to stick to a gun it is still a huge waste of lube
Sand does stick to sticky grease though. Like, obviously it does.
People seem to think that it's impossible to get sand into the gun though without an intense sand storm or deliberately burying the thing.
I guess some folks just like talking about guns but don't actually shoot them, or own them, or really have any idea what the fuck they're talking about.
Going prone and skull dragging in the dirt is something that never happens in combat duh
100% of shooting takes place from a chair sat at a nice table under a shade or inside an air conditioned building you fucking retard. "Going Prone" is just from the movies, nobody's "gone prone" in 200+ years.
