> you might consider taking out the lock mechanism

Yes I came across some discussion on this.

The people were debating the merits us using graphite over grease to prevent particulates accumulating in the grease.

I also found lock smiths decrying the use of graphite in locks too.

The lazy side of me wants to just squirt some ACF-50 into the barrel and not risk breaking anything during disassembly.

It is working fine at the moment, so I will probably leave it for now but thanks for hte heads up on a possible future failure.

My journey across the internet also gave me knowloedge about why I have lumps of black foam appearing in the airvents.

Another future job.
