Silicone oil is not a good GBB luber in regards to the moving parts! My understanding (from MM) is that it is molecularly thin and when put on metal or moving parts thins itself out providing very little lube for metal on metal rub.
Silicone oil is great for keeping your plastic and rubber seals intact though (that's why we drop it into the gas chamber). For metal on metal parts use Lithium or Silicone grease instead. Just wipe it on sparingly and clean it once in while to remove dust, dirt and other contamanents (sp?).

agreed, grease for metal on metal. oil for the seals, although i use lithium grease on everything and add a drop of oil from mad max to the mags when i fill them up
