Another good quality thin oil is the oil that is sold for pneumatic tools.
It is inexpensive too. I use it on semi- auto pistols that can gum up in the
cold and it works as well as anything I have ever seen. I haven't tried
fish oil though and will check it out.-- Bill
Mark:
If you can find it, fish oil is a really great lubricant -- it's light and
will not clog up the works. I used to use it years ago on rotating
microwave assembly bearings that had to be drag-free for proper high speed
operation (back in the mechanical days c.a. 1965).
