Slip 2000 gun lube and extreme weapons lube reviews
I will admit that after being in the firearms community for several years i have seen a lot of gear and accessories that were on the higher end and many of them things that i could not afford. One thing that I have noticed is that while AR15 designs have improved over the years, gun oils and synthetic lubricants are dramatically better. Not only do they work, they are green products and not hazardous to use. I think I still have a small bottle of Hoppes gun oil and bore cleaner that I have pretty much abandoned. I guess at some point I might ceremoniously finish it off but I definitely have moved on from using it.
The direct impingement AR15 design absolutely is reliant on the firearm being properly lubricated. I have seen reviews on Slip 2000 gun cleaning lubricants where it was more about lubricating the firearm and not really just about how clean the gun was. A properly lubricated firearm will run if you lube the right areas and it is not necessary to constantly break it down and scrub every piece of carbon out of it. Over cleaned can do more damage to a firearm than letting it run dirty at times. I have replaced some of my Otis gun cleaning lubricants with Slip 2000 and used the rest of the Otis kits for my personal AR15 range cleanings.
