AR-15 BS Thread

@Beretta4x4 I got an article 15 one time and spent 8 weeks cleaning M16’s and M60’s

 

Don’t feel bad, my suppressed 11.5” gun gets cleaned maybe every 1200-1500 rounds, even then it’s not a thorough cleaning. My(former) 11B buddy hates me for it, he can’t stand how dirty my AR’s and pistols are.

 

Ouch. My 1SG made our company clean wrappings for 3 days in shifts no more than 4 hours of sleep, non consecutive, until it was "satisfactory"

BTDT lol

I'm 11B and I can't stand dirty weapons

 

My 1sgt was a great guy and sadist

 

thats what she said...

 

So, how does one purchase a BCM product if everything is consistently sold out?

 

Mil clp is not really great for cold but still. I haven’t lubed a rifle outside of crew serves since fallujah 2. There’s a difference between combat ready and armory white glove ready. Anyways here’s a link that some might find interesting

I remember reading the -10 and -20 for lubrication. It's a fascinating subject

 

That hard knock, no sleep, garrison life lol

 

Cleaning weapons was not bad, I did not have to give up any of my paycheck

 

I signed up for their in-stock email notification, then got a notice literally the next day the upper was in stock, and bought it.

 

Marvel Mystery oil works great too.

 

It's our job to make it stiff, It's Her job to make it wet

 

Weapon check in day Fort Polk. DS checked weapons wearing white gloves. He could strip a M16 in the blink of an eye. Found a bit of carbon 3 times. He reassembled in 2 blinks, made me drop and give him 20, take it back to my bunk, strip, clean, reassemble, back to present to DS.
Now my AR gets a clean bore if I feel like it, and it can run dirty til it pukes. Not a single malf yet.

 

I haven’t seen that stuff in a long time, my grandpa used it a lot but my dad doesn’t, I don’t think he even has any in the shop.

 

Meh fireclean itself as a lube is fine, seeing as it is mostly a canola oil based lube.

Fireclean as a company...I'll never deal with. Bunch of liars selling an over priced product (imo). But they also took a lot of flak that was spread by a competing company too

Is that really a thing? Oo but no

I use it in unsuppressed guns. Not 5w-30 specifically but motor oil. Suppressed though....would cause a sneezing fit lol. Not sure exactly why only suppressed guns do it (besides the obvious more gases in the face)

 

ace hardware used to have it, i havent looked in a few months though
