Just curious what you guys use on the moving parts. I've actually heard that Marvel Mystery Oil works well, but there are probably oils made specifically for guns that work just as well or better, I just don't know what they are. I would think you'd want to use as light of a weight as possible to keep the action as free moving as possible.

Also, when cleaning out the magazine tube (like that of a Marlin 60), should I then be applying a thin coat of some sort of an oil, or should the inside of the mag tube be oil-free?
