I decided to do a quick break down on my RIA 1911-A1 "Rock Series", wipe it all down again, clean it with Q-tips, and then as seen in the picture, I relubed it, and just reassembled it.
However, I wanted to try to something rather interesting as a lube..
Synthetic trombone slide oil! The stuff is as slick as an ice skating rink and also waterproof. Hmmm... Maybe serious overkill with lubing a 1911, but I figured, "what the heck - let's try it".
Anyone ever use anything besides common gun oil for a lubricant?
