Ok - the science seemed sound but I wanted to check around. Why only use it on the AR?flintknapper wrote:Yes, actually....I do.

I use Militec on my AR only (bolt, carrier and trigger sear). You can use a hair dryer to heat the parts for the initial application(s). After that...I use it mainly for a wet lube (use sparingly).
I don't clean the bolt or carrier with harsh solvents either (Carb/Brake cleaner), instead...I use Mineral Spirits, an old tooth brush and compressed air. The lubricating properties seem to have stayed in place.
Honestly, I think the "burnishing" effect of the action cycling (parts against parts) does more to embed the lubricant than anything else. But MT does make a noticeable difference in smoothness... and parts clean-up is definitely easier.

I have 2 bottles but can't decide if I want to switch.

Re: AR bolt & carrier ?
CLP is fine, just shake the bottle alot so you get the teflon mixed in with the oil. If you use a bottle and don't shake it up, you get congealed teflon in the bottom of it. I shake mine vigorously for a bout 90 seconds before use. I've used it exclusively in my LMT piston rifle and it's been fine.
I also prefer the bottles and straws over spray cans.
