there are 2 camps of people when it comes to cleaning and oiling. some get obessed about over oiling or using none at all for fear it will grab dust and dirt. im an over oiler but i make sure i get out any excess before shooting. for me it save alot of heartache of rust or parts that might freeze up. i dump oil using the red straw on the spray cans or the archery type thin needle bottle oilers right into all the voids. things like breech plugs and firing pin holes. i only use thin oils that spread easily but arent thick enough to grab and hold crunchy stuff. i love shooters choice fp-10.
