Do you oil your bores?

I like to oil the bores...and I understand that the first few rounds will not be super accurate whilst they remove the oil ..... Hasn't given me any problems so far....
 
Wet patch before storing. Dry patch until it comes back clean before shooting. Dry off and clean the bolt face and chamber too.
 
I finish cleaning with an oily patch, then a dry patch and leave like that. I live in near-desert conditions in southern Alberta and have never had an issue with doing it this way.

I spray the bore with a synthetic gun cleaner/lube and chase it with the blow gun then store the gun. The first few shots aren't accurate but I only oil the bore once a year after a good cleaning.

Aeroshell 17 or 33 are pretty close to Automatenfett. You should be able to get it from a Shell Bulk station.

I follow the instructions for the K31 and have had no problems. even use it for my other milsurps. You have to run a patch through to get it out before shooting though.
 
I learned from a really a***-retentive video. I use Ballistol and slosh it through the barrel (finger over the ends, so actually not that much oil) followed by a patch with Ballistol on it, then a dry patch. Brush if needed. Then 1 final patch with a little gun oil.

I'll see how that works when I finally get my ATT.

BTW, I did see a vido of somebody who just wipes his handguns down with babywipes after a visit to the range. Inside and out.
 
After cleaning, I run a wet patch of synthetic 2-stroke oil through the barrel. Why? Because I have a lot of it lying around where I clean things in the garage. I figured it will protect the barrel and burn off cleanly after the first few shots.
