I had a bottle of it and loved the stuff, then it disappeared from my garage. I have no idea where it went.

You cannot go wrong with it.

Just do not try to use it on the spousal unit, apparently it chaffes and makes the experience unpleasureable for the end user.

But it works like teflon on a milled reciever !

I use to use dry slide on my shotguns in the winter time. Worked great when it was below zero.

El Chopo does not need any special attention when it comes to lube.As with most any other auto loader a decent liquid lube will work perfectly fine.
The large bottle of oil that came in my CETME armorers kit closely resembled 3in1 in both feel and smell.So I'd say they used what was available from the petro line.
Bill Alexander of Alexander Arms commented sometime back that not so many years ago the powder fouling generated by the G3 series was not considered a bad thing,and was actually said to aid the lubrication of the weapons.Spotless cleaning was not a requirement for that platform.Unlike today where fouling is looked on as performance detractor.
Personally I just keep my weapons lubed appropriately with a high quality liquid lube.The dry film type lubes in my experience fall short particularly as a fouling displacement and corrosion protectant.Not to mention load and shear of moving parts.
For heavy use I apply moderate amounts of lube to my weapons and relube during use.Particularly with a weapon such as the AR and especially for carbine classes etc..
My personal favorite lubes are Weapon Shield and Mil-comm.Break Free CLP and LP works as well.Dont really care as long as the parts are run wet.
So I'd stay with a known weapons lube...if your on the cheap use Mobil 1 5w30...it works too.
As far as a grease,the Mil-comm TW25B and Weapon Shield grease is what I'd look at,or should I say my preference in heavy lubes..Personally I keep the grease limited to the 1911's,SIG's and Beretta.In a rifle like the CETME,AR etc. its just not needed and can become a mess to deal with at high round counts.

That's what the war department recommeded for the M1 Garand to overcome early reliability problems.

By the way, I sprayed the inside of my CETME reciever with moly lube. I did it help free up everything to reduce the cocking effort. It seemed to work but I can't say for sure the it did.

N25 after a thurough cleaning with M-PRO-7 then Exteme Oil (light coat) solves all probs.
