Does oil dry up differently on different guns?
I have 2 firearms in the same safe
One is 20 years old and very worn in. I can oil that one and put it in the safe and it will still be range ready lubricated a year from now. All steel 1911
One is less than 1 year old and I can oil it and a couple weeks later it is dry. Normal aluminum steel mix AR
I am using Hoppes 9 on both. They sit 3 inches apart.
I cannot figure this out for the life of me
Should I be using something else on the aluminum rifle?
I am not talking about a surface protective coat. I am talking about the wear parts. The bolt carrier goes in wet....dries out. On the 1911 the slide goes in wet...stays that way
