Yes...I swab the barrel with a rod swab and a light coat of Hoppe's after the wire & patch swab......keeps the rust & dust away.....don't drown it, of course....just a dab'll do ya....Originally posted by cudalyon View Post"I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson

I was always told to go with out the oil unless you are in a damp environment. Oil attracts dust, and a build up of oily dust through out the barrel can't be good.Originally posted by Big_Saw View Post~Lyon~Comment

True...but on the other hand, dust cleans off alot easier than rust, and I'd rather claen once a week than deal with corrosion.....:DOriginally posted by cudalyon View Post"I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson

I do, but apply Militec lubricant and back it with a heat gun, and then dry it off. It soaks into the metal thereby making it easy to just wipe the bore clean next time. Its the best of both worlds.
I like to get it on new guns before they have been dirtied up, makes all subsequent cleaning much easier. It does not attract dust that way.My weapon can kill, it isn't limited to mere assaultComment

I've always applied a light coat to the barrell to prevent rust. I have never had a problem with dust build up.Originally posted by cudalyon View PostThe strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Thomas JeffersonComment

I clean and oil the whole firearm and then store them in silicone impregnated gun socks from Cabelas. Even here in the dust bowl, I have not had a problem with dust.Comment

I live in Houston.
Houston=Humidity.
I oil ALL exposed metal parts. I do, however, make sure to wipe away all excess oil and just leave the lightest possible coat on each surface, especially inside the barrel.Comment
