Jon be careful using oil, it can saturate the ammo not to mention the possibility of fire, not much but a chance,
Here is a link to the stuff that I have been using
www.mil-comm.com/
this stuff is the greatest and it is endorsed by a number of manufacturers, including ArmaLite and Dillon. You also can get it through MidWay USA.

you can also get a bigger size if needed.
Or if you want to keep it simple, use axle grease, but ditch the motor oil.

Oh ya, I just want to add that for our big guns, everything that I have read suggests gun grease works better.

I will second the mil-comm endorsment. I use it on my AR-10T as well as all of my other guns. The stuff works great and is easy to use. The people at mil-comm are great to work with also.

Glad to hear it and I also use it on all my weapons as well, although I have to use the MC2500 in one of my pistols. I can honestly say that it does work in all kinds of conditions. I had a bunch of sand and dust blow into the receiver (open) and thought i was going to have a nightmare on my hands, nope, she cracked off another 75 rounds with out a hitch or being cleaned.
Great stuff that Mil-comm.
