This is a post that I made on a previous thread concerning using motor oil on firearms. I've used the Mobil 1 lube/grease for 11 years on dozens of guns and both work fantastic. I can fire 150+ rounds in my AR with little crud buildup in the bolt carrier, and that almost wipes off. I use a light film of grease on semi auto rails and it stays in place until I wipe it off to re-apply.

Mix 9 ozs. of Mobil1- 75W90 full synthetic rear end lube mixed with 7 ozs. LSA Mil/spec semi fluid lubricant.
It has great flowing properties, film strength, lubricity, and it flows at -5 degrees F (The lowest my freezer will go). There is VERY little separation over long periods of time. Most PTFE products separate out in a very short time.
For grease I use:
8 ozs. Mobil1 full synthetic gear grease (The red stuff) mixed with 7 ozs. of the same LSA PTFE semi fluid. This makes a light grease that can be used on all sliding parts. It has a great drop temp and adhesive properties.
