Should you use lubricant in extreme cold? Let's do a test.
This test evaluates firearm lubrication in extreme cold (5°F). Three AR-15 A2 rifles were tested: bone dry, with Break-Free CLP, and with Remington Rem Oil. While all eventually functioned, excessive CLP caused initial sluggishness due to thickening. The recommendation is a light coat of appropriate lubricant to prevent rust without compromising reliability.
