By all means lubricate the firearm, however do not put any oil up the bore prior to shooting, also oil is detrimental to the wood stock in the long term.

NOTE: ALWAYS PATCH THE BORE PRIOR TO SHOOTING TO CLEAR OIL AND OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS.



OH and...icon, icon, icon, silly icon, ridiculously silly icon and fruit icon................................................added so that my post does not look out of place and because I obviously lack the literary skills to express myself.

hey man no need to get snotty just cause i like smilys, as for literary skills i took number2 2 years in a row for the provincial poetry contest

SO BITE ME! (cracks wip)


and thank you all for your info, i have found my bolt guns run smoother with a drop of oil at the base of the bolt handle where it rubs against the stock/reciever. seing as im new to levers i was wondering about any simalar tricks:wave::cool:
 
Me thinks you got an 1895 not a 1985?? I use 3 in 1 oil for general purpose, but I hear a product called CLP is real good, just having trouble finding any locally.

Thank you, your post actually raised a chuckle.
STEELECO..try to source some military formula Break-free CLP, the civvie formula has as much efficacy as straight oil.
The best bet is to hunt up one of the older fellows at military stores...you can bet one of those gentlemen commandeered some.
