    No! Although some say to apply a light amout of oil to the spring.

    After I clean my mags I apply a couple VERY small drops of oil to the internals then I blow them off with compressed air to help disperse the oil

    I don't lube any of my magazines. The thought of any of that oil finding it's way into a cartridge and ruining it freaks me out.

    If your getting oil INSIDE your cartridges you are using WAY to much oil.

    I know that one concern of a lot of people is that it will attract debris. Well that is possible but in the average civilian setting you will likely NEVER have to worry about it. If you find yourself in asscrackistan then I would suggest you dont oil your mags as you may attract sand and debris, if your going to the range and punching holes in paper, do whatever makes you feel good.

    Why? For the rep magpul has they should run smoothly w/out doing anything.
    Says so right here.

    I will respectfully agree to disagree. As much as they touted the Pmag with it's innovative polymer material , springs, followers etc the thing should be maintenance free, outside of having it load up with dirt, mud or snow.
    Then again 2 out of 6 of the newer Revision M Pmags didn't work for shit. Once i relieved where the mag catch locks in, finally got them to lock in.

    Call Mike at Bowers and see if he has any Pmag oil
