Should you oil the inside of a gun barrel?

Barrels should not be oiled because it can gum up the barrel and cause the ammunition to misfire. It can also attract dirt and other debris which can then accumulate in the barrel and lead to decreased accuracy and increased wear and tear on the firearm. Oiling the barrel can also result in corrosion over time. If you do choose to oil your gun barrel, use a very light coat of oil specifically designed for firearms.

Clean your gun regularly and thoroughly, regardless of whether or not you oil the barrel. This will help keep your gun in good condition and prevent any build-up of debris that could potentially cause problems.
