Condiment.
That's all we had growing up. Never had a problem with rust or gummy mess. That and some 3-in1 oil kept everything operational. Old timers back in the day had less.
Only the next morning, like I said, I use it as a condiment.
an old Hot Rod magazine article written about a old school oldmobile man,whoses name i cant remember, anyway when he got new timing chains he put them in a pan of new motor oil and put in a old toaster oven outside at 300 degrees for 2 days,, he said they lasted twice as long..
I used it as well for many years, but did find out that it gets real thick around zero temperatures. Semi auto pistols don't cycle well.
Most lubricants thicken up with cold weather,
Most of the new synthetics stay pretty fluid at those temps these days, but when we hunted in near-zero weather back in the day, we ended up with using dry graphite as a lube. For the record it was Ruger Mark II pistols in .22rf hunting rabbits behind beagles.
I had a browning a bolt freeze up on me once. It’s never good
Really light recoil springs in .22, so any thickening at all will slow them down. They always cycled, but it was really slow. Rapid fire not possible.
