After trying who knows how many different lubricants, I have settled on Slip2000 EWL, which lasts longer on the operating parts than the thinner oils, and displaces volume that could occupied by foreign debris as well. I generously lube the raceways of the bolt carrier, and only keep a light coat on the bolt itself. I also place about 2 drops in the cam pin area. I try to avoid getting oil in the chamber, which will happen if you drench the bolt itself. That can take your chamber pressure into uncharted territories.
