I like a quality grease in high load spots like hinge pins, hammer notches and cocking or other camming surfaces and a lighter long-lasting oil on sear pivots, hammer pivots and other linkages. I won't argue the grease vs oil conflict, however. I'll merely agree that frequent cleaning of the old and replacing with new, of your choice on the exposed places is surely the most important tactic. I also thank Rocketman for repeating what I have said many times, "neither oil nor grease "attract" dirt. An oft-repeated misconception.As to the mention of "Ed's Red", isn't that a bore cleaner concoction? The question was about lubricantes, no?
