Your type gas system and port pressure effects the bolt cycling. When I built my AR15 carbine with a 16 inch barrel I used a mid-length gas system so I wouldn't pound the rifle. If the rifle doesn't cycle properly you do not have enough port pressure to cycle the action. The AR15 is noted for being over gassed so the action cycles wet or dry.

If your action does not cycle "dry" with minimum lube your load is to light or your using the wrong powder. The proper port pressure makes the action cycle.



Less is more when it comes to lube


FrogLube ‘Green’ Weapons Care System Review
FrogLube Weapon Care System Review - Guts N' Gills

The FrogLube System is supposed to be used as follows:

1. Thoroughly clean weapon using FrogLube Solvent, or FrogLube Super Degreaser.
2. Apply FrogLube CLP and allow time to absorb. Using heat quickens the rate of absorption. This step is supposed to “season” the metal, soaking FrogLube into it.
3. Scrub, agitate, and wipe off any excess FrogLube CLP.
4. Apply additional FrogLube CLP to lubricate as desired, however, FrogLube is supposed to perform as designed wet or dry.
