Heavy lubrication shown to improve M16, M4 effectiveness

[LRRPF52]

I stopped using Slip 2000 as the LSA lasted a lot longer in my experience and didn't burn off as fast..

I have not had any problems using LSA in my AR or other type rifles in cold weather either..

I think I was using Slip2000 EWL in arctic high-volume, multi-day courses in Finland without issue. LSA is great though and rated down to -54 degrees to +127 degrees C (-65 degrees to +260 F degrees ). The people who did the Mil-Std work for the AR-15/M16 actually did it right with LSA.

Motor oils rated for the temp range you’ll be shooting in work well in the AR since they are thick.

You really see what works and what doesn’t when you shoot high-volume in extreme cold.

In one of my DM courses, a buddy of mine started having all kinds of malfunctions with his Noveske AR-15.

I checked it out and it felt like he had poured fine sand into the action.

I said, “I told you to have this lubed man.”

Him, “I did! I did!”

“What did you use?”

“That Frog Lube stuff.”

Frog Lube turns into a fine granule-like material below certain temps. It was Utah mountains in the winter, but not as cold as Finland. I avoid that lube like the plague.
