Before cleaning or re-oiling a gun barrel you need to be familiar with the proper application methods. The correct way to apply lubricant drops is to use a needle applicator and apply lubricant at specific lubrication points on the gun. These points include the slide assembly as well as the barrel's exterior. Don't over-lubricate your gun barrel. This can attract contaminants, and cause reliability issues.

Kroil

Cleaning a gun barrel requires a certain technique. Attach a bronze bristle brush and a cleaning rod to clean the barrel. You will need to use 20 strokes for the barrel. After the brush has cleaned the barrel thoroughly, remove the brush and gun. Next, moisten a cotton pad with Kroil and then pass it through your gun's muzzle opening and chamber. The gun's barrel can be cleaned once the cotton patch has reached the muzzle.
