Okay. Make fun of my possible OCD. Couldn't wait till "later".
Anything dry ought to not change much in cold temperatures. Silicone would be good too but the last time I used some it was gross to clean up later.

Butyl Benzyl Pthalate, a great all purposes lube, unaffected by cold temperature.

Like fancy stuff? Ever try Braycote? It is a perfluorinated polyether rated for spaceflight use. This stuff is slicker than unicorn snot.

You could try Krytox, but I've always been leary of the PTFE residues.
These "what lube do you use" threads kill me.
If you get deeply into the guns you own and have any mad scientist in you at all the search for the 1 lube fits all situations is never ending.
Oh yeah, I get it. I've tried several things and found what works satisfactorily enough for me...usually.
Tongue-in-cheek, I was somewhat serious. If somebody wants the end-all bragging rights for what they use on their firearms, Braycote is it. You can be King of the Lubers if you're willing to pay for it. A little goes a long way too!
It is used on titanium, stainless steel and other materials in space-borne applications to prevent galling. Non-toxic. It does migrate a little but it doesn't evaporate. Clean off the carbon and smear just a little, tiny dab on everything and you're good to go.
Major drawback is if you get it on gripping surfaces, it can be difficult to get rid of.

Well, for $800 I will stay with my personal blend concocted over years of non-scientific research.
I've never bought any, but I have played with it at work!
For whatever it is worth, I've settled mostly on Hoppes and CLP.
