Last time I took the plinker out (A Glenfield/Marlin Mod. 60, approx 1972) in the cold, I had a terrible time - out of 36rds I tried to put downrange, close to half of them were either FTF or a stovepipe. Clearly, the oil I used gummed things up too much when it got cold.
I'd like to give it another whirl - what's the commonly excepted wisdom for an older tube-fed rifle like this? Spray the snot out of everything with brake cleaner and run it dry?
