These are 10/22s, we're talking about? (as opposed to other action-types or ARs)
Dri-Lube Teflon on a clean dry, oil free action. Including, the recoil rod/spring.
The only thing that sees any oil, on my 10/22s, is the barrel/bore as a rust inhibitor after cleaning.
No "gumming up" or attracting dust. The burnt powder residue on the bolt face just comes off with a light "toothbrushing".
I usually do a "total strip-down", maybe once a month for a good solvent cleaning and re-application of the teflon, only because I like to. It could probably go longer between cleanings.
