I like it.
I just read what others have done. No sense in doing it to any of mine since you can find these events all over the internet.I will never understand this internet phenomenon of taking expensive firearms and trying to break them with "torture tests". I guess I was just raised to take care of things - especially expensive items like guns. To this day, I still treat them well, because you never know when you might need to use one, and you certainly don't want it compromised due to a previous amateur "torture test".
Anyway, getting off the soapbox now.
Went out and shot 200 rounds this weekend. About 5 mags through the Glock and the rest through the Sig. No issues, just as I predicted and hoped.As for the guns being the same after cleaning it....I kind of doubt it, like I said earlier, that sand likely had quartz in it, quartz is harder than 7075 aluminum and harder than some steel. There was more than likely some scratching going on.
I remember inspecting a captured AKM in Iraq, and the "lube" had a familiar smell.. had the terp ask the haji what was in it, to which he replied "motor oil". Genius in a way. How do you lube your firearms in a desert with nothing but black gold under your feet? Freshly refined oil. "10-30w" worked excellently in those weapons.
How do you lube a weapon when you have no means to in a SHTF scenario? Most will run out of gun oil far before ammo after numerous cleanings.

Used oil to lubricate.
Exactly! Let him do it and I'll just read about it. Win-win all around.I don't understand all the criticism here. Just because you wouldn't do it to one of your guns, who are you to criticize others for how they treat their own property? His question was not "What do you think about what I've done and would you do this too?".
He did this because he thought it would be interesting and fun, more power to him.
