Gas semi: no lube, oil or dry lube?

Grouse Man said:
Regular oils in the gas system will bake into a hard carbon that becomes difficult to remove. Use any kind of synthetic lube on the piston and magazine tube as they resist heat much better. I've had great luck with BreakFree CLP on gas systems. After four or eight rounds of trap/skeet, literally just wipe off the magazine tube with a rag in a single pass, re-spray, done.

X2, I use CLP on my 390’s.
 
I shot competition skeet in the 70's and 80's and Remington 1100's were the most popular skeet gun in 12 gauge because the felt recoil was much less than that of over unders. The most popular lube was a light coat of WD 40---G96 was also common. If you put too much WD40 into your 1100 you could get a lot of blow back into your face and shooting glasses. Some shooters ran their 1100's dry, or nearly so. Net result was whatever worked best for you and your gun. Nevertheless, 1100's required frequent cleaning---I cleaned my before every competition.
