Silicone cloths, spray & general maintenance lubes?
Excuse me if this has been posted before by others. I'm a born again airgunner, & some advances/advice may have passed me by.
Gun cloths now seem to - so I'm told - to be coated in silicone. After use, I usually give whatever gun I've used a wipe over with one. I used to do the metalwork with 3-1 or WD40, & the woodwork with a beeswax/wood polish/oil. depending on the finish.
Anyway, I'm sure I recently saw advice not to use silicone spray anywhere near the trigger assembly. Is this due to the possibility of it causing 'dieseling' (siliconing?)
