    I always wind up with oil from the BCG running back into the receiver extension from storing the gun muzzle up.

    Never caused a problem, not sure if it helps...

    Every now and then I'll wrap a paper towel around a bore brush and swab it out.

    Lube it or not, I really don't think it matters either way.

    Light spray of Ballistol on buffer and action spring for me.

    A poster here mentioned using a little lithium grease on the buffer and spring, so I went and did it to the new A2 stock kit I just installed, and now it doesn't vibrate like a weird guitar. Also, it feels smoother.


    Did the same thing to the carbine extension and buffer.




    All this being said, should one worry about lubing the charging handle with grease or will it just gunk up once the gun gets shot again?

    Light coat of gun oil on CH for smooth operation.

    That's what I have currently. Guess I'll keep it that way.

    This thing has gone beyond silly. We all understand proper lubing procedures and what needs to happen. There have been plenty of threads regarding this subject. If you want to lube your action spring then go for it.
