I use a light coating Militec on all the metal parts and heat with a hairdryer to aid in bonding to the metal. I use a bit of Tetra gungrease on the slide rails, hammet interface and barrel lug. This combo works great for me.

·Isn't this the stuff that was reported to be jamming the M-16's of soldiers in Iraq and other desert locations. I thought I saw a recent post on the other web site.

Where do you get this stuff? Thanks.
Kraigster,
Well shortly you should be able to order it through me. But in the meantime go to:
http://militec1.com/ and tell them I spoke to you about it...

Re:
No... this is the stuff whose manufacturers started the rumors that CLP was causing M16s to jam... I, of course, have no substantiation for this claim, but having read several replications the "news report", which always have varying dates on them... it doesn't sound like a real news article. It sounds like marketing propoganda and includes several outright misquotes and erroneous "facts".norfdet893 said:
Nope.
Also, what's jamming the M-16s is LACK OF MAINTENANCE.
I don't know of any lube on earth that would perform well if you didn't clean your rifle in sandy conditions more often than every month or so. That indeed does seem to be the case with many of the reported "jammings".

·I bought some stuff made by Wilson at the last gun show. This stuff is the happy medium between grease and oil and it comes in a blue syringe. It is great and is slick as you know what through a Christmas goose! It seems to be a lasting lube that doesn't attract dust and dirt as well. I suggest you get some if you can.
Thank You....

when my son was in kuwait first time he was stationed at ARIFJAN, a large U.S. base about 40 k's s.w. of the iraq border. when a re-supply convoy was going into iraq, personnel assigned would draw weapons from the armory to be carried while on the mission. these included vehicle mounted .30 and .50 cal. machine guns and individual m16's. upon return to the base the weapons were turned in to the armory where my son and 3 others would detail strip them, check for problems and re-lube them before they would then take to the range for function fire test. before they were turned back each soldier would field strip and clean. they were then held for re-issue. this was SOP even if they had not been fired. i don't know what oil or grease was used but will ask him over christmas holidays.
i imagine that troops in the field do not follow this regimen. this i believe would be a command problem. i think that daily field strip and lube is a given when your life depends on it. arms exposed to dust and sand storms which were common according to brad would have gunk in every nook and cranny.
he'll be going back by 1/31/04.

Militec is the stuff the govenrment WAS using for a short time and then went to the CLP. The switch happened several months before we went over began laying bombs over there everywhere.
But if you dont clean a gun in the desert it will get nasty filthy and jam like a stick in the mud.

I just received my order from Militec; two 16 oz bottles for $55 including shipping. After trying the sample they had sent me, I decided that it was fairly good stuff. It really makes my P3's a lot smoother.
