Curious because my first of the type arrives (nib) in 2-3 days., and the M-14/M1A is known to have plenty of metal-on-metal contact. I've watched a couple of "grease" videos, such as the Brownell's "Maintenance" video where the gent puts --Gobs-- of Lubriplate on an M1A's recommended areas.
Either the Springfield website or another M1A "association" (possibly a rifle team) seems to have mentioned Lubriplate. Whatever....
The question of whether L. is a better lube than Mobil One could apply to my PTR-91 and 'new' Imbel FAL (SAR-4800).
The "CLP" which I use for just Cleaning and (temporary) Preservation is Ballistol.
