This past Saturday I took several pistols with me to the range. One of them has been a 100% reliable gun since I bought it. But I hadn't shot it for at least 4-5 months so I took it out of my safe and brought it along.
Well, I inserted a magazine and chambered the first round. The pistol fired once but I experienced a fail-to-feed on the second round. This has NEVER happened in this pistol. Ever.
Field stripping quickly showed me that the slide and frame rails were totally dry. Clean, but dry. Dry as a popcorn fart.
I know that the last time I cleaned and lubed this pistol I used RemOil in the rails (something I rarely do). I normally use it only to wipe down the exterior of a blued gun and I do that quite often. But it was near at hand the day I cleaned so I gave each rail a few drops.
I've observed over the past year that the 1-oz bottles I've been buying have been more the consistency of very very light mineral oil, and as clear as water. It didn't used to be that way, did it????
Has anyone else noticed how RemOil is so light that it evaporates? And if it does, why is it marketed for lubricating and corrosion prevention?
