Default What you running for Sport lube?

I have been using Mil-comm tw25b milky white type lube on the locking lugs and working bolt parts. It keeps fouling soft and lubes for alot of shooting between cleanings. I like it to run a little wet. I use Ballistol German cleaner and lube to. What have you been using and how does it work for your Sport.

I use Tri-Flow both as a lubricant and a cleaner, I have used it for years on many guns and have never had a problem. There are probably better ones but that is just my opinion. The PTFE in it penetrates and really does clean the gunk out.

I give all BCG parts a wipe with CLP. I then use Shooter's Choice All-Weather High Tech Gun Grease.

Someone pointed me to this video:

AR 15 Lubrication - YouTube

The guy stops yapping and gets to lubing at about 3:30. I follow this process and it's worked well for me. YMMV.

I use Tetra grease and Weapon Shield oil. Both work extremely well.

Butter flavored Crisco.Love the smell after a mag dump.

I like to use a 60% Moly based grease. I'm experimenting with the Slip EWL.
FWIW, I don't have any function problems with my guns using CLP, and the moly on high pressure points. I like Moly as it embeds itself into the metal and works dry.

Looks like there are roughly 20 oils/grease/lubricants/butter approved for sport usage.

What the heck, I don't have a sport, so it may not work.... But I'll throw in Rem Oil, Hoppes, and gun slick. Just to make it an even 23 oily type products.
