Grease prevents grit from entering bearing surfaces. But not forever. I clean and re-grease my clays gun's bearing surfaces 4-5 times year with no appreciable wear for many, many years, and I shoot in fairly dusty conditions in hot summers here in Dixie. Bores are cleaned many more.

An oil like Tri-Flow is a super lubricant, but it will not block grit.
