There are those that swear by certain brand lubricants/grease/oils and those like me that use what ever is handy and reasonably priced. I clean and lube liberally my AR's on a regular basis and have never had any sort of failure, glitch or unusual wear in all my years of shooting. Recently I have used
Mobil 1 since I have it on the shelf for my antique automobiles in the barn.
because i love you.

Since I don't use ammo that is dirty or that leaves excess carbon, the cleaner/lube I use is excellent. It's called "Formula three" gun lube/conditioner/cleaner.
I use this every time I shoot, which is anywhere from 100 to 200 rounds/revolver.
M Ruger GP100 and my Rossi 461, both 357 mags do guite well using this. Also, does my wife's LCR 357.
The reason that I use this is because I can't stand the fumes from the heavy duty cleaners.

It's like anything out there. If you treat your weapons like garbage, your chances of something going wrong is exponential.
Remember what your Mom told you? Always wear clean undeware on. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SomehiIng WILL HAPPEN. Same goes for your guns.

Yeah I'm throwing the BS flag on this one. There is ZERO ammo that doesn't leave something behind unless you are shooting a rubber band gun. Copper lead or what ever bullet coating will always be present and no powder is that crud free.
Just what is this superclean non-fouling ammo you speak of????

After trial and error I've found different products are best for different tasks:

Ballistol for a general CLP.

I also have the Ballistol concentrate that I can mix with warm water (9 parts water 1 part Ballistol) to make a "moose milk" emulsion - useful when using water to neutralize corrosive primer etc. without worrying too much about removing every bit of water.

Norvey Brand turbine oil for general lubrication and for pistols.

I use small amounts of Super Lube grease for my 75 and SP-01 slide rails.

Lucas high temp oil (thick and bluish color) for my AR BCGs.

Mobilgrease 28 for my AK and VZ 58.
