I use
I use automatic transmission fluid, (ATF)
It was issued to the military with a little Teflon in it. (LSR oil.)
it is also the basic oil that is in a lot of light penetrating sprays.
Most add a different ester to make it smell differently and change color.
The next oil I use is KROL from Brownells its a lot more expensive.
Some people have said they have rust. They never have tried ATF.
Don't want it to touch there gun. Then there forced to try it and it works.
Great oil, cheap, and it one of the best oil for friction.

Specifically wondering about interactions with WIPEOUT
Sorry, I needed to be more clear in my original post. I don't want to start a "which lube is best"thread, I have already made up my mind about lubes.
What I really want to know is -- has anyone experienced any gumminess issues with applying a lubricant after using WIPEOUT foaming bore cleaner? I have tried Friction Defense, M7Pro, and Breakfree CLP after using WIPEOUT and they all seem to very slightly gum up due to a supposed interaction with WIPEOUT. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if they have found a different lubricant which works best, or if they don't add other lubrication after WIPEOUT?

After using Wipe-Out, I don't lube the barrel. For moving parts - like your carrier - I use Birchwood Casey's Moly Lube. It's an aerosol spray that dry coats the parts with moly. I haven't found it locally, and always buy more when I order from Midway.
