Too much lubrication is bad for the gun

Why do you stick guns up your butt?
Jaxson Richardson
stop using guns as dildos
Nolan Thompson
some of them wont run for shit when you put too much oil in it
usually handgats
AR will gunk up if you over lube and then over heat it
you really dont need more than a light coating unless you are storing guns long term or are in a jungle/ocean enviro
James Williams
excess lubrication attracts dust and dirt. but generally for a closed design like the AR15, it's not a problem. for other designs tho, you'll need to watch out.
William White
Why do wojack posters and frogposters make such shitty posts?
Jace Adams
no its because if you put too much in the gun it soaks into the metal and makes it soggy, reducing its structural integrity
John Collins
>excess lubrication attracts dust and dirt.
It won't be a problem, if you use grease.
Grayson Rodriguez
I have no opinion on it, but I use no lube on any of my guns. If something breaks I'll start.
Cooper James
Slather too much on and the lubricious qualities of the oil can all but cease and at best you get the same performance as when you're running it dry, and at worst it begins to act as an actual obstruction.
Depends on how thick it is. Thinner stuff will run off before it becomes a problem. Thicker stuff like grease is easy to overdo it with.
Colton Collins
a gun will work wet and dirty, but not dry and dirty, your rifle is a real POS if you can over lube it.
William Walker

Use grease, like said.
For rust prevention or open surfaces, use oil. Metal on metal, use grease. It stays in place, has excellent resistance to moving when hot unlike motor oil, provides better wear protection, and if you get something like Valvoline blue grease, it still prevents rust and other corrosion like oil. Oh yeah, and it's $10 for a container of it that will last you for years.
Brody Diaz
this is what you own
Charles Jenkins
excessive lubrication draws dust and salt into the bearing surfaces
Brandon Rogers
Um, okay but no. Even my AR runs fine without lube.
Jayden Evans
You're going to have decreased parts life and reliability.
Colton Phillips
Guns are barely under enough stress for it to matter all that much. Most guns will just push excess grease or oil away, and they're usually well fitted enough that they don't wear dangerously without lube.
Seriously it's not like an engine that will seize and throw a conrod in minutes or like a tranny that will bend a vane. Just brush a bit of engine oil or tranny oil/fluid on, or just drip it and you're good to go. You don't need to coat it in grease, you don't need tubs of oil. There's no effective difference between geese and oil either. Some people like using grease. I prefer using oil on most parts and put lithium grease on stuff like the buffer spring or fcg. Probably does nothing over oil but does make it feel smoother and quieter.

traps are gay
Samuel Miller
It's not gay if the balls don't touch.
Lucas Baker
Because shitty posters use wojaks and frogs to add substance
Easton Moore
Lube is not magnetic, neither is dirt or dust. Their is no physical way dirt and dust could be attracted to lube.
Joshua Collins
Is there anything inherently wrong with using motor oil on guns? Like in an if-nothing-else-was-available scenario?
Jace Jones
Only an issue with semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms.
Nolan Robinson
Excess lubrication or any other grit/grime inside the striker channel is about the only thing that can take down a modern handgun. It's the #1 reason Glocks are sent back to the factory supposedly
Colton Sullivan
No, and people who tell you there is are retards.
