I was watching The Armory Channel on YouTube and Pete made a statement that the worst thing you can do to a gun is over oil it.
B.S.
You can't over oil a gun. Any excess oil will drip off when you wipe it down. Oil does not embed itself into the metal causing jams. Now you can over-grease a gun, but I rarely use gun grease.
During cleaning when I am getting ready to assemble the firearm, I spray everything down with Rem Oil and use motor oil for places where metal rubs together. Yes, I use motor oil, it is cheap, works well, and very plentiful. I figure that if it keeps an engine in good shape at several thousand RPMs, it can lubricate a gun.
After I put it all together, I wipe everything down and put firearm away. No adverse effects. I have been doing this for years and my guns always go band when I pull the trigger, even my CCW piece.
