It’s no secret that conventional lubes of all kinds, guns, autos, trucks, etc., get thick when it gets cold. But, if you clean off all that lube that is everywhere on your weapon and replace it with a light weight, FULLY synthetic oil, you won’t have that problem of the gun not operating properly.
By way of example many years ago, I had a 1982 Toyota pickup that I drove up to Squaw Valley to go skiing. In the morning it was about zero and my truck was frozen nearly solid. Engine, transmission, etc. I had to wait a few hours while the sun warmed it a bit before I could start it.
I went skiing again about a month later. But in the meantime I switched to a full synthetic in the same weight in the engine, transmission, both differentials, and the transfer case. And even though it was even colder, the engine spun over and started as if it was a sunny day. And I could get it into gear easily as well.
