moving parts need oil, but not enough to be able to collect dust & lint. What I do is after cleaning the moving parts and they are squeaky clean I put a drop of oil on them and spread it to cover the piece so it has a film all over it. It winds up sitting around for a short while while I am cleaning and oiling other parts etc., and at assembly I try to wipe the oil off with a clean cloth. This leaves oil in the pores of the metal and will be enough to protect against rust. The oiling points in the book for the specific weapon get another drop on assembly so as to be left wet with oil.
