Advice sought on Type 97 lubrication points

[samsplacci71]

Hey CGN'ers, I need your advice on what / where you guys apply oil/grease on this rifle. I have looked at the wear marks on the BCG and rear captive rail guides. Of course the front, piston, spring and gas valve are left alone, unlubricated.

Anyone have anything to offer?

Looking for this info myself! The Chinglish manual is not very helpful.

Don't know, don't own one... I run my AR and SKS WET with Froglube... I use grease on my M305. Not sure if the T97 is different.

Same here, don't see why it wouldn't work with the Type 97

I just soak her down and wipe off most of the excess. Nothing too fancy, and it appears to like that.

Grease on the bolt, bolt carrier & striker... light oil on everything else.

I only grease the points on the M14 because the M14 gurus say to do it. I have no idea why I just do it. I learned the hard way that too much grease will cause slamfires. Every other gun I own I oil and then wipe the excess off.

Thanks for the tips guys. I have both an SKS and a Norinco M305. I didn't want to overdo it when it comes to grease / oil.

Lubricate generously with sweet and sour sauce. Afterall it is Chinese.

Lubricate the bolt rails and cams, the carrier rails, striker rails, striker spring, return spring, oprod guide, trigger contact and pivots , trigger bar, all with grease, the only part id use gun oil on is the trigger pack also make sure the aluminum rails of the reciever have a nice film of grease this gun needs lube to last
