A friend recommended the Cherry Balmz, so lately, I've been using that myself. When I was shooting three gun lots of competitors were using home-made concoctions based on Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil. It would have additives like STP or transmission fluid plus their own secret sauces. I ran my ARs pretty wet with RemOil mostly. I was constantly having to clean my glasses after each stage because of the spray back.
In the video link Montana posted, the narrator rubs grease all over the bolt & the carrier races & then dunks them in the motor oil. What happens if the motor oil gets up into the carrier key. Does the gas generated from firing blow the oil out into the bolt rings... or what? Oil & grease up in that carbon rich area seems like good place create some gunk that could jam things up.

I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.
