PS I do need HITS on my TWO sites. I have to ask or the sites wil go down. I can only ask for this on a few sites I post to.
 
Clancy,
If we hit your site more than once does that count - or is it one hit per IP address? I'll trying to help out by visiting it.
 
Gentlemen,
There is a lot more to this problem. Ordnance didn't want it to get out. More data to post.
Thanks again
Clancy
ps Steiner thanks for the hits maybe I can get a Sponsor
 
The rain issue was caused by lack of lubrication. The solution was the use of Lubriplate (aka "rifle grease"). The commercial product, Lubriplate, is a tan colored grease that reduces friction on moving parts -- especially the crucial areas of the operating rod cam and bolt lugs and camming lug on the hammer. Moreover, Lubriplate does not wash off readily in heavy rains or dunking in water. The G.I. issue product, Rifle Grease, has a chocolate or greenish color. Both products were issued in small plastic tubs that were stored in the butt stock of the rifle.

M1 and M14 rifle shooters should use Lubriplate or Rifle Grease to ease friction on:
> places where the op rod may contact the barrel
> the bolt locking lugs (3); operating rod camming surface; M14 bolt roller
> lip of receiver where the end of the bolt is when fully forward
> cam surface on hammer that bolt overrides to #### it
> op rod lug that runs in slot on side of the receiver

Correct lubrication of your M1 or M14 clone is important to is operation.

Wasn't Lubriplate superceded by Plastilube a long time ago? I thought all the greasepots that we see nowadays were Plastilube. You can get it "bulk", in a squeeze tube, at BMW dealers (brake pad lube). Of course, Lubriplate of all grades is still readily available at most industrial supply interests. I don't know which type would be the equivalent of "rifle grease". Try here: http://www.lubriplate.com/
