I try heavily lubricating my BRN-16A1 at -30 F and get some unexpected results. Let me know in the comments how you maintain your guns for cold weather and if you have ever had any cold weather related reliability issues.

Great job Alan, your channel is really growing congratulations buddy!!! One of my goals is to be able to shoot again hopefully someday. I still can’t lift one yet but I won’t give up
Never thought I would enjoy cases to the face.
You should tell us about the skis you’re using.
After overlubing the rifle did you leave it out in the cold for awhile? In the video it looked like you fired it immediately. May be different if you left it out overnight?
Digging the frosty lashes look, Alan! Informative as always.
You also have center fire vs rim fire .
Great video; wow 30 below that’s crazy cold. Thanks for sharing very interesting.
One of the best on ytube..down to earth refreshing!
Thanks for the great video. It can be frustrating at times when failures fail to show their ugly head when you want them to. I do believe it would have stiffened up dramatically if you could have left it out in that cold temp for 3 to 4 hours or more. You could tell she warmed up as you shot also. The ejections were definitely moving forward. It did this with both lubes, more so with the CLP.
Thanks again and take care.
Much colder then minnesota today its 10 degrees here great job with that clp and cold.
Hey Alan..great video…I’ve found for me the only reason my guns haven’t functioned in cold weather is mainly the cause of the warm fireplace in the house..lol.. but on a serious note I think “MILK-BONES” owes you some ad revenue….nice edit on the end
Alan in case you didn't notice it's so cold your eyebrows and eyelashes are frozen lol…. good stuff like always brother 👍.
Another Great informative video , Thank you pard !
I run my hunting guns pretty much dry in the winter, I'll clean oil and just wipe off the oil with a clean rag so there's still some oil. The lucas makes good stuff, I have a winter mix of ed's red for the cold. Interesting how your spent cases were starting to move forward, things may have been warming up in the gun and action like more gas but think the bolt was just moving a little quicker as you shot.
I love your videos man. I have never owned an ar whats the barrel length on your AR?
Love the classic AR's
