Luger Lubrication

Since my last posting on this subject I took note of Ron's comments about antique 22 rifles. Seemed like a reasonable hypothesis.

So, I thoroughly cleaned the rifle with BreakFree "Powder Blast" and immediately upon drying re-lubricated all the internal moving parts with Remoil (with teflon). I then applied a light coat of BreakFree CLP to the EXTERIOR metal only.

Since going to this process I have not experienced a single jam with this 60 year old 22 rifle. This has held true through about 700 rounds of CCI MiniMags and CCI Stingers. Conclusion: I think Ron's theory is correct; BreakFree CLP is a bit too thick or gummy for old 22 blowback-action rifles.
