Most ARs (and LRs) like to run wet - at least in my limited experience. Recently, I have been using Go Juice on all the areas that seem to need extra lubrication, and I've been happy with the results in my most recent build. The LR308 is based mostly on Aero upper & lower, WMD gas system, and Ballistic Advantage 18" stainless barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor with a heavybuffers.com EH buffer plus rifle spring in an A5 tube . This is my first AR10/LR308, and I have only about 400 rounds so far - all with a TBAC .30 caliber suppressor. Most of my loads have used H4350 and standard CCI200 primers. So far I've learned two things.
1. This gun shoots very tight groups with 140 gr ELDs, VLDs, and SMKs.
2. 6.5CM in a suppressed gas gun is DIRTY. Even the unfired rounds at the bottom of a mag stack are filthy.
I used a heated ultrasonic cleaner for the nickel-born BCG at about 200 rounds and again at 400. Great results using the L&R Weapons Cleaning Concentrate. Except for the slight color change, it looks brand new. Putting Go Juice back on has been an easy way to go, and most of the carbon gets wiped off in disassembly before going into the ultrasonic the next time.
Where I need some help is advice on re-lubricating after a deep cleaning. Has anybody used the L & R Ultrasonic Lubricating Solution? My thought is that L&R lube in an ultrasonic would get their lube solution back into all the nooks and crannies as well as over all of the large surfaces.
Will the L&R lube make it less likely for the hand applied Go Juice to adhere to the metal?
Is the combination more or less likely to form an enduring film and maintain lubricity?
Will using the L&R product and then Go Juice be less effective than using just the Go Juice by itself?
My knowledge of the chemistry in different lubricants is really limited, and I have no idea whether some combinations are good or bad. Would appreciate any help.
