SKS and SVT-40 Lub.

[wce323078]

What is best to use for lubrication on these two rifles oil or grease?

is it like an M1 or a M14?

 

[zuke]

I'd say M1. Same generation

 

[catapult]

on a gas system ?
I never apply any oil or lub on an svt

 

[M1-Garand]

I use white lithium grease on all of them,of course the gas system has to be left dry.

 

[Tyockell18]

I just use ballistol to both clean and lubricate them, works fine for me.

Nazi blood is best lube

The tears of political dissidents.

 

[Dsiwy]

Oil is what the soviet military used on them

 

[ricohman]

I've lubed up mine with whatever I have handy. Including the gas parts.
Never had any problems.
But when you are using corrosive ammo you get to clean a lot.

 

[matthunt101]

I generally just spray a little of whatever gun oil I have handy on them and give them a quick wipe with a cloth. Haven't had any problems yet...

 

[philhut]

When I tear down my SVTS and SKS in the past I sprayed the metal parts with Rem oil or the equivalent then prior to reassembly just wiped it down with a rag lightly. Seemed to work so far. They function well and for long storage a quick spray spray of synthetic near the action then manual cycle the bolt a bit. It I won't be using the gun in a long longtime a quick synthetic down the barrel can't hurt, just run a patch before use.

These rifles are survivors just don't use bleech or urine they cause odor and rust lol

On my SVT-40 I use a little G96 grease in a few areas of the receiver and bolt but outside of that not much. When I owned an SKS-45 it was about the same.

 

[milsurpo]

I've always put a bit of wheel bearing grease on the various sliding and locking parts on the bolt/ bolt carrier. The colder it is out, the lighter I grease it. The firing pin, inside the bolt, I only put light oil on.

[welder01]

g96 for my sks and svt . The bonus is that your guns will smell like bubble gum!

 

[DILLIGAF]

Atf

 

[gewehr76]

10w30, atf, Powersteering fluid mix. As long as it falls in to the meaning of "H" нефть.

[Butcherbill]

If they are being shot regularly I just lightly oil after cleaning, if they're going to sit in the safe for a while I keep them oiled heavily. Grease only see's my pistols slide rails.

 

[ShotgunNut]

Grease isn't necessary but some us like to use it in certain parts. If you use it I would suggest using only a tiny tiny amount with oil over top. The down side of grease is it is often so thick it will actually resist against the movement of the parts thats why just a tiny bit and work it in with oil. Another down side is that this will attract dirt and grit as will excess oil.
