Thats what I try to do...A clean patch with CLP to give a minute coating of that through the barrel, as the last thing I do before putting the weapon back into service...JasonH wrote:Hey, quick and somewhat related question:
Do you all run a coat of oil in the barrel? I had one guy tell me he runs a patch with some oil through the barrel after cleaning the gun and another tell me that it just enables to gun to pick up residue easier.
I would just run a patch through and then a dry patch for a super thin coating of it.. but now I'm not so sure.
I'm not a big purveyor of using heav(ier) greases in weapons that I use more often than not...If I store them, and don't intend to use them for anything for longer than a year or so...Then sure, I'll grease them up...But I'll clean that up and do my normal cleaning and lubrication routine to get them back into service...
But light oil (the Hoppes stuff) is about all I'll use to lubricate sparingly on a few points in any of my firearms...
