why are you oiling an AR barrel?

Me? I guess if the barrel is chrome-lined it doesn't really need it. Doesn't hurt it either.

I guess you dont need to put a little oil down the barrel. I thought you had to or at least that's what i was told.

I do clean my bore snake after when i'm done cleaning my barrel.

The chamber part for me is a little hard to get a good clean. I do have a chamber brush but it's hard to get in that area very well.

I have, and the boresnake does a decent job of cleaning the bore but it isn't perfect and you can still have minor amounts of crud come out with patches. It also does a terrible job of cleaning the chamber(the chamber is wider so I guess it doesn't get enough pressure against the sides or something) and does nothing for the area behind the lugs.

That's why they make chamber brushes when it really gets dirty!
