andersons RF85? no oil or snake oil? - ah1whiskey - 05-20-2017
you know i can remember firing a dry m-16 a fer 600-900 rounds at a time.
might have had a dab of dry lube on it somewhere--
but 5,000???
RF85 sounds good on paper --
i do know that mr henderson ran some treated m-16s on his rental range and the no-lubes didn't finish a day.
seems like there is some kind of break in for rf85 ??
i'm thinking of testing one of their barrels-- with the coating.

When you are running around in prop blast with sand in your weapon I can understand the attraction to running with minimal lube. But most of us are playing with range toys. Lather them up with 5W-20 is my practice. They run infinetely better, carbon is easier to clean off and I literally just leave the BCG in oil overnight to let it soak and loosen up any carbon that does stick. I had enough of cleaning weapons in the Army to last me a lifetime.

I've been using Mobile 1 synthetic 15w-50w for a few years now and I have no performance issues. Carbon can literally be wiped off the bolt and inside the carrier with a rag. The Mobile 1 says where I put it and doesn't spray all over the place when firing. I can't ask for a better lube.
