This video, part of the 'Smyth Busters' series by Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve, addresses the common question of whether or not to lubricate firearm magazines. The experts clarify that while oil-based lubricants are detrimental as they attract dust and debris, dry lubricants, particularly graphite-based ones, are perfectly acceptable and even beneficial for ensuring reliable magazine function. They advise disassembling the magazine for proper application to the follower and spring, and also offer tips for "self-lubricating" polymer magazines. The video debunks the myth that magazines should never be lubricated, emphasizing the importance of using the correct type of lubricant.
