I've had no luck finding information on where and what to use to lubricate an FN49. I've found lots of good information on how to break down the rifle, but little on the major lubrication points. From what I've read, the firing pin channel and the gas cylinder/piston should be dry. How do you lube your FN49?
 
For those interested, I did find a copy of the FN49 user's manual, which can be downloaded from this link:

Unfortunately, as I've found elsewhere, the manual is not particularly informative about lubrication, as it only contains this point:

2. Working parts ought to be slightly oiled. It is however
Important not to overlubrlcate when the rifle is used m a sandy
country. It 1s then better to keep the gun nearly dry.

Reading about the operation of the rifle, it seems like it might be worth adding a small amount of grease on the contact points/cam surfaces where the bolt carrier contacts the bolt and the bolt contacts the locking lug.

Any idea whether the two op rod guides (the one on the barrel and the one atop the front receiver) should be lubed?
