Personally, I always like lubing my firearms with LPS-3.

It is sprayed on with an aerosol, then dries to form a waxy lube that doesn't sling off like all other petroleum-based lubricants. (See: http://www.lpslabs.com/product-details/612)

If the bolt is piston-actuated, you don't want to use any lube on the piston as that will foul and jam. You should only lube the bolt/bolt carrier.

Just read that the AR-556 is a gas-impingement system like the original AR-15, not piston actuated like the M1, M14, AK-series.
