Did I over oil? - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I kinda just sprayed it... everywhere in the receiver and slide. I guess I'll have to burn it off the next time I shoot and learn how to do it properly.

I have been using Birchwood Sheath for years on several different weapons and my pocket knife. I spray the slide etc than wipe it down to leave a light coat. The Sheath type I like to use is a spray and I have also been using a Q-Tip for the rails. It also comes in a drop type can.

I like the paint brush idea and will give it a try.

I tried to be slow and careful, but the spray CLP comes out very quickly, and runs like no tomorrow!

The sear is part #10 in your XD FRAME PARTS LIST. It sits between the Striker Safety Lever (#25) and the Ejector (#14) This is a very important part of your machine. It is what releases the striker, and makes your gun go BANG!!!

The reason I don't lube it will be obvious to you once you take a good look at it. I wouldn't be overly paranoid about it.. put a little drop on the sear spring.. just avoid the sear itself.

So I'll be okay just letting the oil all burn off today at the range right? Cause, that's the plan!

You'll be fine. Just watch your eyes as others have stated.

I would recomend using something other than CLP for all the reasons that you stated. It is my least favorite gun care product. Try Eezox, Corrosion X Aviation, or FP-10...in that order. All are much better than CLP.

It seems to stay oily, or very lubricative (if that's a word), but it just GOES EVERYWHERE. Otherwise, not bad.
