    Default Over lubrication

    How often have you been told not to over lube your firearms?

    Over lube problems definitely occur in sub zero temperatures as I have seen and experienced in the past. The characteristics and viscosity of oil change as the thermometer drops and will increase resistance and friction on moving parts.

    What a couple of morons...LOL....

    They forgot to drag the gun thru a sand dune before they do the test....that would be a closer example of why you don't over lubricate

    I'll have to ask a military weapons tech from Afghanistan his opinion on the matter.

    Gotta get some nice bits of twigs and leaves from the great Ontario forests in that test too!
    Totally new to hunting. Please excuse my ignorance. That is all.

    Ya right, I would never soak or over lube. A light clean and oil after the day in the field or range. I would go a little heaver if stored for a extended time, then light clean and light lube when pulling it back out for service. As stated when temps drop, you run into problems especially with lever actions if over lubed.

    He'd be wearing more than just Castrol if he pulled the trigger on that DD DI M4 prior to draining all the oil out of the gas tube.

    Yes! It might work in Arizona but I'd like to see the same test done in Northern Canada at -30.

    I want to see them drag it around in the field for a couple days without cleaning it.. Then try to fire it..
    or just leave it sit in a case for a while as that oil interacts with firearms finish.
    Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

    My big fear would have been the gun slipping out of his hands.
