Thanks I'll give it a try. I'm not real fond of Break Free, but it is way better than say WD 40. I like it because it is a superior preservative, though it may not be the best lube. My semi auto's are mostly in the safe, I don't often shoot them, moisture and humidity are the enemy.
I just know one thing for sure with a semi auto, no matter which lube you choose, you had better check the firing pin and make sure it isn't sticky from old thick oil, dirty oil or very cold oil.
Burnt powder residue and oil mix can get way thick and gummy. That is why I prefer aerosol cans so I can flush/blow out the really tight places.
I bought some refillable aerosol cans I can refill with whatever I'm using, cleaning or lube. I use dry argon or dry CO2 as a propellant (MIG gas). Out with the old and in with the new.
