Hello everybody! The other day I had some trouble disassembling a firearm and luckily a friend was able to help me fully break it down. After cleaning all the components with Hoppes 9 with a q tip then drying it he instructed me to just reassemble the gun and I only oiled a few parts but I did not oil the trigger group and a few other parts. Is that wrong? I figured you would have to oil the trigger group but he told me it didn't matter. So now I'm worried about that part developing rust. Also I heard if you oil the gas system on an Autoloader shotgun then it will cause the gas system to gum up. Is this true?
