And lube does get absorbed by weapons, in my experience.
But hey, we'll just agree to disagree on this, no worries!
Btw, I've read on here about corrosive ammo. Not something I am familiar with, is there a good thread on this?
Try mixing Ballistol with the hot water (1 part Ballistol, 10 parts water). It emulsifies in the water and will adhere to the gun metal. Basically lubing while cleaning so parts won't rust. A lot of folks use it specifically when shooting corrosive ammo, mainly 5.45 uppers, with great effect (No corrosion). Use compressed air and hose it out with ballistol afterwards if it makes you sleep better. If you are using water without relubing, you're doing it wrong.
