I made the mistake of useing 3in1 oil and letting a semiauto 30.06 sit for a year and it dryed shut. I had hell cleaning it up and the bolt was locked shut, I had no choice, it was after a fire and i had nothing else and knew the gun was gona be setting up for at least a year before i touched it. I could see it doing bad damage if the gun would have been loaded and fired with out checking it..
As far as the pvd coated rings go? pvd coatings do wonders on piston skirts in a new rebuild as you stated and even cheap pistons are now being treated with it. After seing them come in with a bunch of miles on them the coatings still on there with a little wear so it must make a difference for them to keep using it. an interresting concept for gas rings.. The bcg the bolt fits into would need to be smooth for it to work for any length of time though. If it were rough it would just take the coating right off..
Slip200 ewl seems to be holding its own on stored firearms.Its been 2 years since the rebuild on the house so i havent got to shoot much,the guns were the only thing i owned i took out 2 hours before mine and 1700 other houses were leveled,and after a year the guns that were lubed with it are still slick.And putting a drop of fresh lube on the rings before shooting cant hurt a thing. all rings like to be lubed.
I believe that this is very important. ^^^^^^^
I normally get several thousand rounds of service life from a set of gas rings and have never had to replace a set on one of my rifles because of failure. I just replaced them while I was cleaning and noticed the gas rings appeared worn.
I don't think that the type of lube, Break Free, LSA, motor oil, etc., is as important as having enough lube on the bolt and carrier. I lubed my bolt and carrier heavily two days ago, then fired 674 rounds of filthy Wolf lacquer covered steel case ammunition without any problems whatsoever.
Would you guys say McFarland gas rings are an upgrade or an unnecessary option?
