Sorry Rapier but my SBE and my old M1 are not fond of excessive oil. I learned the hard way in the duck blind when my M1 decided to run in slow motion.
I put some pivot pin grease on the recoil plunger and some Benelli oil on the bolt slide guides. Other than swabbing the barrel that's it, and I'm pretty cheap with that, after slow motion cold weather hunting. The upside was It was easy to field strip and get the gunk off, and without any lube I used some butter on the slides. Not the best, but it smelled like toast every time I shot...
I also have a question for all about the color of your beads.
I have a red on the Benelli and orange on the Browning. I was always taught to ignor the barrel on my shotgun, I actually shot a ruger for two years before I realized my bead was gone.
I tend to start missing when I start looking for the bead and aiming like a rifle. So, my question is, Why do we care what color, and or why we even have one in the first place. Unless I've been taught wrong...
