SWMBO used to wear gloves (to protect her hands I think).<br /><br />Hobo BrasserMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461636691286849481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9422233.post-78395410163172497552012-10-19T20:09:40.443-07:002012-10-19T20:09:40.443-07:00Yo, thanks for including the comment about "s...Yo, thanks for including the comment about "sandy or mood-duct environments". We rarely encounter these conditions here in the Great Pacific North-Wet, but we need to be reminded when we go to matches in, for example, Nevada.<br /><br />When I was in the service, the red dust that tanks kicked up on the dirty Vietnamese roads were a continuous problem. We cleaned our AR16s with gasoline every time we hitched a ride back to our basecamp. Yes, we had special lubricant and used it sparingly.<br /><br />Oregon winters can get really cold, so I switch from motor oil to sewing machine oil. Which forces me to actually CLEAN my pistol, to remove the heavy-weight oil. Bummer, Dude!<br /><br />Jerry The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181610016755426448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9422233.post-26283501022704012962012-10-19T17:45:36.604-07:002012-10-19T17:45:36.604-07:00Over-oiling: Fine in controlled environments, such...Over-oiling: Fine in controlled environments, such as ranges, or tropical/grassy areas until you reach the point of oil spattering your lenses; not fine in sandy or moon-dust environments,where it binds the action.<br /><br />Motor oil: absolutely fine, unless in northern states in the winter; high-temp automotive grease ($3 to $5 per 1 lb can) works great in warm months for actions, and is all I use for coating metal all year around.<br /><br />All opinions based on every sandy deployment and annual training I've ever been on.MauserMedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657229228172032650noreply@blogger.com
