    Believe what you want, it’s obvious you’re the kind of guy that thinks he is right no matter what. You can also drive your car for far longer without changing the oil per your car manufacturer’s recommendations. Most people don’t do that. I’ll leave it at that, I’m not going to waste time arguing against stupidity.

    OP you can believe some guy on the internet or go by what the manufacturer recommends.
    But he is right... sure, in an ideal world, stager your gas rings. But the fact is it will run with the rings aligned or with fewer than it should have.

    I change my vehicle oil on the 5000s and lube my guns with what ever is handy (anything from T-9 to Mobile1 ATF a full synthetic Rotella.

    This isn't the military where there is THE WAY IT SHALL BE DONE, there is a goal and there are many ways to reach it... if it gets you there it was the right way.

    I'm only right because i don't buy into fuddlore BS that some dude thought up back in 1986.

    Don't even bother trying to use cars as an example. Have you ever seen one? They are a bit more complicated than an AR15

    Stupidity is apparently your shtick, not mine.
    What about breaking in the barrel?
