Thanks Andy, i really apprieciate you taking your time to help me out.

So you dont oil your mag tube or gas piston?
By the way, What kind of oil do you use on your bolt and rails?

 

[ajmorell]

Nope, I run them dry. I use remoil in an aerosol can for everything else, but only because its all Walmart had

What oils would you use on the bolt and rails if you had access to it?

:huh: I don't really know. I've been using the same can of remoil forever it seems like. I would probably get something from Hoppe's, they seem to put out a good product. Their Elite line is good, albeit a little pricey.

How about Hoppes #9 gun oil?

 

[ajmorell]

Is that the liquid stuff in the orange bottle? I have a couple things of it but I don't use it on my guns, I actually have found it's really good as a lube for sharpening knives. It just looks like plain ol "white oil" to me, I don't know that there is anything special about it. You might try it, but it seems a little too thick for my liking. If there's an aerosol version it might apply a little thinner

OK.. Now im more confused than ever!

I just spoke to a tech from Browning.

He said to spray the Trigger group and bolt with Breakfree CLP.
He also said to clean the mag tube and gas piston with a cloth.
He said never use oil on the mag tube, the mag tube spring or the gas piston.
He said never use solvent on the gas piston.
He said clean the gas ports with a tooth pick or a nylon brush.
He said use a thin layer of oil on the barrel.

Being a dummy, i allready used a layer of rem oil on the mag tube and on the gas piston. How should i go about cleaning it off?

Also, If i use Breakfree CLP do i have to add oil after or does this act as a cleaner/oil all in one?

I think I said it in the other thread, but I've never used oil on the mag tube or piston. Doing so is a recipe for concrete. As far as how to get it off, use a clean rag and don't worry about it. Get as much of it off as you can with a clean, absorbant cloth and go hunting. BTW, using solvent on the gas piston will eventually cause the shiny plating to wear off the mag tube under the piston. Makes it look like something's eating a hole in the tube, and this I know from experience. As tempting as it may be, don't use brasso on the mag tube. It'll take the carbon fouling off in an instant, but then take that chrome plating off shortly thereafter.

What do you think of using a degresser such as Outers Crud Cutter to remove the Remoil off the Mag tube & Gas piston?

I wouldn't. That's not to say you shouldn't.
