Bolt Cleaning

[gixer1]

Another vote for bisley gun grease…

 

[needsy]

Just wipe mine over with ACF50

I’m a believer in ‘almost dry’, that is, dry and clean parts wiped over with a ballistol treated rag. Grease retains any dirt particles, so if used, should not be used on any surfaces that can wear and affect critical tolerances, or are associated with the firing safety/trigger, etc.

Shouldn't be anything other than bolt head & lugs in the receiver.

Parker Hale Youngs 303 is applied on toys which go in the vault without knowing when they are released again.
Remington oil on a cloth - never spray !!!- to wipe around.
Bolt face carbon removal : Brunox ( and before the ban Hoppes N°9)
Every “ new” gun that enters the premises will have its bolt disassembled . As mentioned above: previous owners sprayed in every hole, even the firing pin. Latest addition did not have percussion. It buffered on the gunk inside. After cleaning ( brake cleaner overload) no more mishaps.
With .22LR: please do check the blind holes next to the chamber where the extractor fits in. Sometimes full with stuff, resulting in difficult cocking. Just use a tooth pick.
And rule Nr.1: no WD40 is allowed near any toy !

Hmmm. Curious about the WD40 line - my having used it since forever on all my toys. What’s the issue please?

WD is Hygroscopic.

WD40 is a very poor lubricant to be used on guns it can attract water and over time cause parts to be stick. I just give the bolt a decent clean, and then wipe with a thin layer of CLP on it.

Does anybody use Froglube? I started using it ten years ago, and the tube will outlast me. Great stuff.

Works well, smells nice and, if you get peckish, is apparently edible!

I shoot a dry bolt (lugs & recesses).

Spot on in my opinion
