Ok I am a little lost here. Surplusrifle.com in there video note to oil the gas piston after you clean it. Yet the russian/chinese manuals I have read tell me to oil it very lightly.

My question is what do you here on the forum do after you clean the gas piston, oil or leave dry?:confused:
 
Well a trip to cambodian tire is in order to pick some up. Unless I can just use some clean grease like the stuff that comes out of a grease gun.

Being cheap I think I will just use some grease gun grease. :)

this is what i do. i live in the wet coast, where it has high humidity, lots of rain and homes today have less air leaks, it locks in the moisture .

im pretty concern with my guns developing rust so i coat it with gun oil and just before i use it, i wipe off most of the oil from the piston and tube.
 
Update...Only oil the firing pin with light oil such as CLP/breakfree, and only if you clean it after every visit to the range. (you will anyway). And it should still rattle.

I also use CLP in the gas tube, but you can use a light coat of gun grease.
