Ive always heard to avoid getting oil inside the buffer tube.

Ive always heard to avoid getting oil inside the buffer tube. I believe you are thinking of grease. A thin film of oil will help keep the buffer spring from rusting. Although I see nothing wrong with grease in the buffer tube, so long as you flush all the crap out of the tube every once in a while. |

I've been using a thin film of grease in the buffer tube, but my rifle isn't a battlefield rifle. While I would still use some grease on parts of the bolt carrier, I would probably run my buffer dry if SHTF and I didn't want dirt from trench-warfare building up in there ... if it really got that far. It does quiet it down a lot, so if part of the rifle's allure for you is the Sproing, leave the buffer tube dry.
