Oiling recoil springs

It does fucking nothing.

You need cosmoline my friend.

>>33996311
The friction is reduced, not the tension.

>>33996321
Well yes but isn't that the same thing.
Perhaps tension was the wrong word, effectiveness of the spring would be better.

Since friction is reduced it doesn't slow down the slide or bolt carrier as well.
And I've noticed that the hammer seems to swing down with less velocity when the main hammer spring is oiled in my cz.

Cutting down on friction has a negligible effect on the resistance of the speing, it has a notable effect on the life of the spring. CZ's are known for super crap springs, personally I would choose the longer service life.

>>33996360
Could you explain how oiling a spring reduces its lifespan?

>>33996364
No, he can't. He'll spew some fudd-tier bullshit and then sperg out about how he's right though. Just watch!

All oiling a spring does is stop it from rusting. You just want to oil it lightly and wipe off excess so you don't attract dirt and dust.

>>33996452
For once Zed is right

Pretty sure about was saying pulling the spring gives it longer life. . .

>>33996663
Holy shit phone. *anon was saying *oiling

>>33996666
If you say so Satan

you guys are making the exact same point and somehow still arguing about who's right

>>33996666
Hell of a get

Fuck no.

>seems to swing down with less velocity when the main hammer spring is oiled in my cz.
Which is why you measure anything that matters, because just estimating it like that is shit and fail.

>>33996348

Reducing friction would allow the spring to decompress more efficiently. Unless you put in so much oil in a restricted area and created hydraulic resistance, which is unlikely.

>>33996311
>tension
compression
sigh

>>33996364
He was making the opposite point idiot.
Springs and all metal in general will live/last longer if properly oiled.

This ^

Don't oil springs, as oil can allow dust and lint and gunk to stick more easily any even impede travel.

Only oil wear surfaces.
