Where should you put lubrication on gun after cleaning?

• A. Friction points where there is metal on metal contact
• B. Inside the firing pin channel
• C. On the exterior grip
• D. In the storage compartment

Answer: (A)

Lubrication belongs where metal parts move against each other, reducing friction and wear. After cleaning, apply a light coat to the moving, metal-to-metal surfaces and contact areas inside the action—think slide rails, locking lugs, and other interfaces that rub during cycling. Keep the exterior grip and other non-moving exterior parts dry and untreated, since lubrication there isn’t needed and can attract dirt. Also avoid the firing pin channel; lubrication there can trap debris or interfere with ignition. Use only a small amount and wipe away any excess to prevent buildup.
