Lube Inside Barrel Y/N?

[Doublehelix]

The subject says it all. Do you guys lube the inside barrel? I was just reading the manual on my Sig P938, and is specifically says *not* to, or to lube the chamber. Comments?

Thanks.

I don't unless the gun is down for some long term storage. Then a lite coating on all metal surfaces.

No.

No.

The lube has to be driven outward and away from the projectile, possibly increasing pressure since lubricants used in firearms typically do not compress. Aside from that, lube collects residue. A clean dry barrel before shooting is advisable.

I use weaponshield as final few passes with patches, then 1 dry patch at end.

For a firearm that is being used regularly? Definitely not. For one that is being put up for storage? Very lightly.

A little Rem Oil Spray on a patch once down & back through the barrel for long term storage. That's it.

If you oil a barrel for long term storage, store it muzzle down so it does not fill the action and oil stain the wood stock if applicable. Be sure to dry patch the barrel clean BEFORE firing more ammo.

hell no.

I leave a light coating in the bore after cleaning to prevent rust. That includes my P938.

For storage I use Birchwood RIG grease in the bore. Before shooting I run a brush with mpro and patches to get it out. My 2 carry pistols stay dry with nothing in the bore.

No such word as lube in Russian so my AKs have no idea what you are talking about.

I do a similar thing. I run a damp patch with oil, then run a dry patch through. If going into long term storage, I skip the dry patch.
