Would you please teach me how to properly oil my Colt?

Remove the stocks before "gushing" down the pistol with GunScrubber or brake cleaner. Use teh brake cleaner, $1.98 v. $8.00 or so.

Take a look at http://www.midwayusa.com or http://www.dillonprecision.com for gun cleaning stuff.

Another problem with over lubed firearms, they tend to throw gunk all over the place. Slosh 'em up well with oil and fire a few rounds, your clothing, and body parts ain't goning to be quite as clean as before you fired.

DJF, may I suggest two other web sites for you to visit?
http://www.m1911.org

and
http://www.sightm1911.com

You can find instructions for detail stripping your 1911 at both sites as well as a listing of the parts.
