This guide, presented by experts from Brownells, details the proper method for lubricating firearm magazines. It emphasizes using dry film lubricants like Otis Dry Lube, which are graphite-based, instead of traditional liquid lubricants. The process involves disassembling the magazine, applying the dry lube to the spring and follower, allowing it to dry, and reassembling.
