otokiak- what are you using for winter lube? My m305 seized up in the cold, but I had alot of grease on her. Do you run it dry?

gnmontey- lol, that's awesome. my truck mirror met the same demise gopher hunting...

 

[Otokiak]

Throttle monkey1, I cleaned up my Springfield real good ... it's not dry ... but purdy damn close. My M305 Norinco froze on my friend before ...

p.s. if you do a search there is mention of a graphite application or something it's called that should work in cold!?!?!

i treat the inside of the action with silicone and on the bolt,

 

[Grizzlypeg]

If your gun is smooth enough to operate fine on some very light oil, like G96 spray, that's not going to gum up in the cold. Its not like you really need the anti-wear protection of grease when you are only shooting a shot or two out hunting.

While I have never been out at -40C, I have done a large amount of -25C hunting with my M305 lubed with Synthetic Shell Snowmobile grease.

[Throttle_monkey1]

hmmm I will try all of these, except silicone, I don't want fake titties in my gun

 

[stuckon308]

I don't want fake titties in my gun

Whoa now!!! Let's not go saying things we can't take back.

 

[smak_daddy]

There are about 50 gophers who fell victim to my M1A Supermatch in the late 80's.


Damn dirty gophers.....
