Hello, new member here. Glad to be a new owner of an AR-15 rifle. I recently picked up a Smith & Wesson M&P 15TS.
The only additions I have made to it are a BCM Gunfighter CH and a Magpul MOE VFG.
I am a bit of a tinkerer (is that even a word?) and after alot of research I have gotten to know the mechanical in's and out's of the rifle quite well. But here is a noob question I have. Is it bad to get oil into the chamber/barrel extension area? I have lubed the bolt properly but I am concerned about oil that finds it way into the barrel extension area.
I have already put 1000 rounds of various ammo thru the gun and it is now a primary HD gun. I keep it at my bedside, propped up (barrel down) between my headboard and nightstand. And being it sits there for an extended period of time, gravity draws oil into the chamber area. I do not excessively lube the bolt or BCG, but a do see a decent amount of oil seep into the lugs and extension area. I am using Breakfree CLP as my primary lube. I also have Rem-oil as a backup lube.
So is this a bad situation for oil to collect in the extension area or not? Sorry if this is a noob question, but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks...
The Guinea
