I would like to add if you use a vintage or veteran side by side gun the most important lubrication of them all is to apply clean grease to the barrel hook and knuckle joint each and every time you use the gun. I know it is external but you would be surprised how many people who do not bother or think oil is sufficient.

I don't know about that. The guns that seem to need service the most are those that have sat in a closet for 20-50 years without any use. The residue that remains on the inner workings is no longer a lubricant. But, a lot of guns have been damaged from some clod with a hardware store screw driver set and an oil can. Best, Ted

I like old doubles that have never had a screw turned.If they ever need repair then you have no choice but to open them up. Bobby

Ted and Bobby make some good points, but someone who has the proper tools and technique can disassemble, clean, and lubricate a gun without anyone knowing that a screw has ever been turned. No cleaning or lubrication is probably preferable to damage and buggered screws.
