This guide, presented by Brownells' Smyth Busters, addresses the common myth about mixing gun oils. Experts Stephen and Caleb explain that while intentional mixing can sometimes be used for specific cleaning tasks (like thinning cosmoline), it's generally not recommended for regular firearm operation.
