OP,
Lubing the inside of a magazine body will only collect dust/dirt.
Not good.
Yes and no. I’ve had some crap tastic mags in my lifetime. I saw an entire line of police P226 guns shit the bed with brand new phosphate coated mags. The fix? Spray lube into the magazines. Run 100% after that. I’ve also seen .308 mags shit the bed and needing lubrication.
Based on my experiences, mags are much more reliable when disassembled and liberally oiled. Of course, wipe out as much oil as you can with a dry cloth to leave the tiniest fraction of oil left behind. I scrub the insides of my mags with an old bore brush which knocks off the high edges and makes the follower and rounds less likely to stick or jam.
