Lubricating follower springs?

[2GQ4U]

I got an email from some online distributor selling ASC 10 round mags for $8.00 apiece. I figured I could never have enough, so I bought four of them. They came yesterday, and seem to be well made for the price. Question: To oil or not to oil? I've been told to lightly oil the follower spring, especially on cheaper mags. Yeah on nay?

[USPSA GM]

Nope

Bad advice, period.

Oil and mags = trouble. If you must lube use a silicon dry lube.

Use some eezox....

When oil in the spring will attracts dust or powder might cause malfunction.

i put a big of grease on the springafter all thats what usa magazines did for years

[john67elco]

Not for me

No lube in mags... It will give dirt and grime a place to stick in the long run and if left un checked, can cause feeding issues...

EEzox and let em sit in the sun to dry. EEzox turns into a dry lube once the carrier solvent has evaporated off.

it is advisable to keep the mag spring and mag interior clean and dry; i wouldn't use oil as a means to accomplish this.

I agree with everyone here on keeping the mag spring and inside of the magazine clean and dry. That's what I was always told by my elders and my gunsmith.

Use some eezox.

This is good stuff!!! Good cleaner, lubricant, rust inhibitor! Hard to find, have to order off internet. Just re-stocked my supply.
