i have a ruger lcr, i wipe it down each day after i am through carrying it. i have oiled the mainspring a couple times in two years, it seems fine and rust free but dry each time i have done it. should i oil it more often?, less? i don't want to take the grip off any more than necessary, i use mobile one and barricade as my oil. thanks

A very light coat once or twice a year to prevent rust and a drop on any pivot points and bearing surfaces is my method to maintain springs and working parts.
