Clean your rifle, then lubricate it.

Compressed air was mentioned earlier in this thread...

I don't use compressed air to "clean" a rifle. I scrub the rifle as you should to remove what you are trying to clean off of, or out of the rifle. There's substitution for elbow grease.

I DO use compressed air after I have a clean rifle to properly lubricate the rifle though. Apply the lubricant, then use the compressed air to spread the lube throughout the nooks and crannies that can't be reached with wiping or spraying a lubricant on.
