oil in the gas tube

In cases there is an oil inside the gas tube, is it safe to fire it?

How much oil are we talking about?

This, and why is it there?

I want to know the answer too, how did it ( the oil ) get there ? And if its alot clean it out first before firing.

Oil in the gas tube should not cause a problem as long has it is not excessive.
If you are worried about it is a easy fix just to spray gun scrubber down the gas tube or non chlorinated brake cleaner to cut the oil.
