I have had new mags right out of the wrappers that were bone dry and would not work till I depressed follower and ran a patch down inside with Mobil 1 on them.

As Richard said above don't overdo it as lubricant attracts dust.

DO NOT USE Graphite powder ! ! ! ! Graphite in the presence of moisture is a lubricant, graphite in the absence of moisture is an abrasive. That is why graphite is in brake shoes.

There was a course at Rock Island Arsenal called "Corrosion and Prevention of Material Deterioration" and if it is still conducted and you can get sent to it GO ! ! !
Finest DA course I ever attended. It is a week long and you will be amazed at what it covers.
