Well getting ready for shooting season and curious as to which type of grease some of you use or recommend to use on a Norc M 305 ..thanks for your time and advice
 
I like the white lithium grease since it's easier to see where you have or have not applied the grease. If you don't use grease, yer #### WILL fall off. You will suffer the utu... Maori term for the consequence of yer #### falling off. :D

Apply it to:

* all bolt raceways
* bolt lugs x 2
* hammer face where bolt pushes backwards, hammer nose (left of the hammer face; remove your trigger group and have a look
* op rod guide
* op rod where guide is met
* op rod hump where bolt roller resides (pack it almost full of grease)
* op rod track on right side of receiver

Enjoy the addiction... Use a syringe to apply the grease in tighter spots.

Cheers,
Barney
 
I just finished greasing mine. Couple more places to add:

Underside of bolt
Op rod spring guide and spring itself. Made a huge difference as I was getting some binding without grease.
Stock ferrule and front band interface

See Tonyben guide.

Wait until we are able to purchase and own FN's. Now that will be an addiction! Hungry, will you have FN clinics at that point? Until then, Hungry and the M-14 in Canada rules in the 7.62 NATO catogory.
 
Pardon my naivety, but the instructions I read said oil rather than grease on both the op rod guide and spring/spring guide.

Is my #### in danger of falling off?

So far my rifle is running flawlessly on handloads (cast bullets), Mobil 1 Synthetic grease, oil (as above). I've shimmed the gas system the lazy way (split the shims), and I do believe the op rod guide is a bit loose after a few hundred rounds.

Norc manual says grease.

Norinco does not have a stellar warranty either. Go ahead and oil if you want, as long as you lubricate somehow, but, when you shoot, particularly if you have glasses...notice all those little spots that suddenly accumulate after firing a couple of rounds.

I grease mine with high-temp grease in the summer and white lithium in the winter. Any metal to metal friction surfaces. Been firing for 2.5 years now, and narey a wear spot.
 
I used that green tractor grease on one of mine. It was fine, but made my gun safe stink like a farmer's work shed. I'm applying moly grease next time.
