Just about anything that is polymer-safe (READ THE LABEL!!) will do just fine. most folks use of the CLP formulations.

The one thing NOT to use is WD40. While it does clean, it is neither a lubricant nor a protecter for firearms.

You might want to check out the videos by Fred Hart and his "Plate Of Truth" videos and see what happens when different brands of lubricants, cleaners and lead removal are put to the test.

Clean as you would any other firearm... Wipe everything dry... Add a thin layer of grease (personal preference) to the bolt rails... Shoot and enjoy!

I use Ballistol. IMO, Mobil1 0W-30 works just fine too.

I put Slip 2000 EWL on mine. It works well on most of my other firearms.

any quality clp does fine..the 15-22 is not exotic

I have been using Militec-1 on all my firearms and am very pleased with it.

make sure you take the bolt apart and clean and lube the slides. That's where most of the scratchy noise comes from when running dirty. I use weapon shield and clp to lube and milcom cleaner / degreaser to clean.. but I'm sure you'll hear a lot of different suggestions.

I've been using Otis 085 Ultra Bore On my MP15-22 and MP15A. I went to PSA to get some CLP but they were out so the guy there recommended this. Works just fine.

Is CLP safe for the Mp 15-22? I've read the label on the CLP can and it does not state polymer safe anywhere.

Did you read the thread?

thoughts on m-pro 7?

Sir, your M&P 15 22 is so special and unique, that only the finest lubricants that NASA uses on the space shuttle will suffice.

 

[Varangi]

what- you need to lubricate??? oh no
