Tip: I've found that if you go to a gun store (or gun dep't at the department store) and buy a tube of 'Gunslik' (an anhydrous lube that uses graphite as the base) that you will not need any other lube. It does not eat the plastic as vaseline will and lasts forever. I have a tube that I started using about 20 years ago. I have yet to use more than about 15% of the total. Cost - under $5.
