gun oil in cold temps
Never had a problem before but this year my semi-auto 12 ga has not been cycling reliably in cold weather conditions. Normally I use CLP for everything and wipe it dry before reassembly. That includes the piston, piston housing, and mag tube. I clean the gas system every time after a hunt.
I need the gun to cycle reliably. So, I have removed all traces of oil with acetone, including the recoil spring tube; there is no oil on any surface of the gun and I'm going to shoot it that way this week in the stubble fields.
Thoughts? Your experiences with semi-auto shot guns not cycling in cold weather?
