When you mention oil,you will get a bunch of opinions,everything from baby oil to used motor oil has and is being used. Use what you are comfortable with.
I always thought gun slick was too thick and stiff to be used in a gun. It is a grease with graphite mixed into it. Graphite is a very fine abrasive and will in time smooth up a part. I guess one could use it as an aid to seat together mating parts but for general use or hunting in cold weather I would not want it in my gun. Many reports of misfires in cold weather have been blamed on Gun Slick. True or not? I don't want to be the one that finds out the hard way.
I question this? Sounds like a mechanical or ammunition problem to me?CLAYPOOL said:YES THERE IS....Years ago I lubed a trigger on a Model 12 pump. Was out hunting way out from town with hospital (10 Miles). 15 years old. Rabbit jumped and ran. Pulled up and pulled trigger. CLICK looked at it, THEN TURNED and started to point down the line of my nephew's and MOVED the pump. BLAM Luckily we practiced GUN SAFETY.. BLOOD and legs would have looked good on the ice we were walking on....
DON'T DO IT -- BUY SOME REAL GUN LUBE.

The Model 12 (and 97 I believe) Winnie is quite unique among pump shotguns in that it can be "slam fired". That means the trigger can be held back and it will fire every time the action is cycled. Perhaps it wasn't quite locked in battery until you "moved the pump"...(with trigger held back)
Back in the day, there were a couple Winchester exhibition shooters who could "outrace" a semiauto with a M-12. Ad Topperwein comes to mind...
