I'm not really sure of how much oil to apply.  I know I need to put oil on any moving parts.  Should I put oil on a rag, and wipe it on moving parts so there's a very fine amount? Or just drop a little bit of oil, but then wipe it up?

I had been oiling pretty liberally with one of my guns, but the gun is now filthy dirty due to dirt and grime, even though it's mostly an outdoor range gun..

for ity it depends on what i am oiling.

For the most part I just oil a patch and go from there. Now for sears and hammers i just put a drop of oil and leave it.

I downloaded the bushmaster manual from this site even though I don’t have a bushmaster I have been doing what it says.  Basically I just use an oily rag on everything inside with a little heavier coating on the part of the bolt that goes into the carrier and on the contact points of the carrier.  I usually just put a drop or two into the lower parts.  I usually leave a light coat in the barrel but before I go shooting I run a dry patch through the barrel and wipe any oil off the bolt face.

I use a 7/8" stencil brush to apply CLP to the parts I can access.Same for the exterior.No lint and it leaves the amount of oil I need on the parts.If too much I remove the excess with a black cloth or move the CLP around with the brush.
For the inside of the upper I use the patch wet with CLP  to apply a thin film of CLP.
Otherwise I basically follow the -10.
