Varied answers as expected. Thank you all for your input I truly appreciate the responses.

OK, for the record I'm at 2 questions posted (and what I'm going to do)

1) Snap Caps:
Me: a-zoom

2) Oil/lube/preservative?
Me: I'm going to order a bottle of Eezox and test it on some steel I have that's sitting outside and see what happens. No rain involved in this test....it's Texas....it doesn't rain here anymore for some reason...so "on with the trial!"

Going to also order Balistol. The Eezox warnings of "don't use too much" have me wondering....

Having extra barrels of junkers lets one test & trial things. I highly recommend buying a couple of $20 trash barrels to see what happens with different chemicals as opposed to your multi-thousand $$ treasured gun.

All your inputs are appreciated boys, and keep 'em coming!
