Lubrication Discussion

[Wanderin' Zero]

This discussion continues from this thread: http://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/show...CO-OILS/page15

I have below copied over some of the posts on the previous thread referred to above. This will hopefully make it easier to follow the general train of the discussion.

At Finnish temperatures? I think some we use may actually do that.

Fair point but even so, it should not happen unless you are storing your guns outdoors… But AK-gunner's note leads me to understand that it is not a temperature -related issue he is referring to but rather a product related issue. I could be wrong though – perhaps he will clarify.

Interestingly, during World War II on the Eastern front, the Germans often fired their machine guns at regular intervals in order to keep them from freezing up.
