HK P2000 Oiling Points

[deldgeetar]

Anyone have a helpful picture of the oiling points on this gun?

Usually the user manual has pictures and instructions on cleaning/oiling your gun.

I don't like using oil on parts that move a lot. Parts that receive a lot of shearing friction deserve grease, and parts that rotate and move only a little bit get oiled. If you use oil on your slide, it will likely be displaced very quickly, and your gun will be dry within a few shots.

Look for wear points on the gun. You'll notice that you don't even need to lube the entire rail, as the slide only contacts certain points on the frame rails. I just grease the rails, drop oil on the fire control mechanisms (trigger group, sear/hammer contact points, etc.) Oil the outside of the barrel as well, as that will receive a bit of friction from the slide. I don't use grease here because my owner's manual tells me to use oil, lol.

I saturate a Q-tip and run it the length of both rails and inside the slide in the rail channel. A drop on the barrel hood, a drop on the barrel and that is about all it needs. The breachface and inside of the barrel are dry. You should not worry too much about it. Clean every 700 rounds or 6 months. Whatever comes first.

Every 700 rounds or 6 months?! Man I would be flipping a sh*t if I saw how dirty your guns were, haha. I clean my guns after every range trip, except for my 10/22.

Sounds good to me Sammy! I ran my Glock like this and only cleaned it twice a year and it performed beautifully. iareConfusE, I have always found my firearms run worse if cleaned after every trip. The dirt and grime of shooting forms a natural lubricant with your oil that causes the gun to run really well. I guess the exception to that would be a 1911.

A little grease on the rails and you are good to go...and I'm not sure oil would hold up for 6 months!

Also forgot to mention. I like to spray some Boeshield T-9 down into the mechanisms of my P-01. I like to at least keep the sear and all that jazz in those tight crevices lubed.

HK's don't really need grease imo, just use an oil like Hoppe's or Militec-1 or something along those lines. I like Militec-1. My USPc and my P30 get a light film on the exteriors of the slide and the barrel, and run a couple drops down the rails and they're good to go.

Thats what I do, but I use remy oil

My HKs get a tiny bit of Tetra Gun Grease on each of the metal friction points (not just the slide rails), Hopps #9 in the hammer and trigger pivots plus the trigger linkage. Silky smooth. I clean them after each shoot day if I don't plan on shooting for a while. Since I'm really close to the ocean, bare steel will rust quickly. At the very least, I'd swab the barrel with some oil or BreakFree to prevent rust.

Honestly, I hardly ever really take them apart and clean them, a little Breakfree CLP on the friction points, a wipe of outside surfaces with more of the above and thats it---then about every 6-8 months or so a better cleaning---all five of my HKs (and all my other guns) run just fine! Also, they still look almost new---I think people spend WAY too much time cleaning their guns---remember, for the most part, we are not shooting corrosive ammo or black powder---corrosive primed ammo was the real reason we were expected to clean your firearms after every shooting.

here you go, straight from the horse's mouth:

I pretty much do the same except that I use Slip 2000 instead of Breakfree CLP and use a bore snake to clean the barrel after every use.
