BCG and Upper soaked in lube is fine! The only time it may cause a problem is if you store your BR muzzle down for any length of time and
shoot it without running a patch down the BARREL! You will make the Barrel manufactureres happy though![/red] I have replaced bulged barrels for customers in the past and it can get pricey. This being said, I run my BLACK RIFLES dripping wet without a problem! My .02 M4QUADRAIL
Wait a minute... I know your not really supposed to shoot the gun with lube in the bore, but are you saying that you've actually seen bulged barrels as a result of doing so?? How much friggin' lube was in them, a quart??
The answer would be "I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH!" What I do know is that the Bullets speed moves faster than the DOUGHNUT of oil it is trying to push forward and when the bullet overtakes the oil/lube you are left with a nice bulged BARREL viewable as you look down the bore. While in GUNSMITHING school in Colorado in the early nineties the scenario and drawing was placed on the chalk board and explained. I have seen many and made money off of others misfortune
when I was Smithing and MFG. Why doesnt some GREAT ARFCOMMER with plenty of money or a shot out barrel experiment? Wait BAD IDEA! [red]CATASTROPHIC FAILURE MAY OCCUR![/red]
But we all do like the pics when posted!
By the way a quart of lube would fill the barrel of several Carbines or Rifles. BAD IDEA as in red above!
My educated guess would be as little as several drops would probably do the trick! My.02 M4QUADRAIL
When I said a quart I was obviously exaggerating. I usually store my rifles with a
light coat of lube, and store them muzzle
up, and almost always run a dry patch thru prior to shooting, but I'll admit that there have been times I've forgotten. I honestly thought that whole thing about ruining the barrel was somewhat of a myth, I understand the concept, but still. Good to know.
OP: sorry for going somewhat off topic, to answer your question there's no such thing as too much lube on the BCG, the worst thing that will happen is some will spit back in your face on the first couple of rounds. For the BCG, wetter is better.
