what kind of oil to use on a sks

[the_snowman1]

what kind of oil do you use on your sks?

 

[blairz]

Synthetic Motor Oil..

 

[kootenayshotty]

But in all seriousness, I use Rem Oil with Teflon, seems to work fine, no build up, lubricates well enough, cheap like the budgie

 

[gjgudqkqh]

how about automotive grase?

 

[MosinNagantM44]

I use CLP or regular 10w-30.

SKS action functions smoothest when lubed with the blood of capitalists. It's just the way it was designed.

 

[Forcedair]

WD-40. It doesn't get the same oil as the higher end guns. I have to wipe the breech block & firing pin dry in cold weather or it will freeze up and not fire.

 

[CanAm]

ATF works very well.

 

[tootall]

ATF works very well.

HUH?

 

[the_snowman1]

I under stand oiling the breech block and carrier but do you also oil the pistons as well

 

[CanAm]

automatic trans fluid

 

[5440fight]

Sweat and brow grease, from overworked communist sweatshop gun makers.

or

Gasoline and vodka to clean it, engine oil to lube it.
Instructions for use: pointy end toward enemy, run, shoot, yell. Repeat.

 

[Stevo]

Wheel bearing grease.

 

[Northman999]

I use G96 and general purpose grease from Can Tire.

CanAm's choice of ATF sounds interesting and I'll likely give it a try next time I clean and degrease my rifle.

Sometimes,when i shoot at the range in summer, standard gun oil on bolt and carrier but very very sparingly but most of the time i dont oil or grease. Keep the gas system oil free. In cold weather, no oil at all. Anyway the SKS dont need oil to function flawlessly

 

[cainesy]

I use stuff called PWD, it comes in a green can. The British military uses it apparently, and I find it great, and it smells good too. Cheers.

 

[SigWig]

fluid film

 

[sierra6point5]

I just have some synthetic gun lube in a yellow can, so far it's outlasted two cans of gun cleaner, wish I could get something cheaper at Hub Sports...$18 a can and it doesn't last long

 

[Satain]

Suprised that no one has mentioned KY!?!

 

[the_snowman1]

If it works hey why not
