    Just in case anyone reading this thread does NOT realize it, oiled cartridges were part of how Enfield actions were proofed back in the day. Probably "not advisable" for the average person to attempt cartridge lubing in an Enfield action. While some may be comfortable with the practise or hold contrarian views, I don;t think we want new shooters thinking this is standard practise.
