I never put oil on the frizzen. Never have, never will. I will wipe some off with steel wool. I have never had any problems with ignition. I think it is a mistake to putoil on the frizzen, but maybe FG knows something that I do not. I do however put anti-seize on the flash hole screw, and clean itevery time after I shoot. I would bet there are alot of flasholes out there that can not be removed. Tom.
