============================
With all of the variety of "Lube" comments the past few weeks I don't think the kind, make, brand, mixture of lube is as important as at least just using
something. (The only exception might be WD40.)
I think Hoppe's is just something. Some lubes are better than others but "how much" is almost impossible to measure. Some last longer, requiring more applications; some stink, some smell good; but keeping the gun WET is the key.
The best example of this is an article I read a few years ago where Pat Rogers got a malfunctioning gun working with Vagisil. Might have only worked for a magazine or two but it got the gun working...
But maybe it's just me...
