No, the oil will not CATCH fire...
Oil will smoke off of the barrel if you get it hot enough... |

NO... but drag a dry patch through the barrel before firing, make sure the bore and chamber is free of exess oil before firing any gun.

Get some CLP - such as Break Free.
It's the "proper" lubricant, since it's a cleaner, lubricant and protectorant. |

Hoppes No. 9 is not an appropriate lube for your AR. It is best used as a cleaner despite claiming lubrication properties on the bottle. Use a CLP to lube (and clean ,and protect). I use Breakfree and FP-10.
Although flammable there is no danger of fire in the rifle (if smoking at your cleaning bench I would be careful) there should be little solvent in the rifle and the rifle is designed to contain violent explosions that generate high heat. |

I use Hoppes to clean and FP-10 to lube with.
You shouldn't use CLP and any other lubricant with it. The CLP may affect the other lubricant since CLP is a cleaner as well as a lubricant. |
