Yugo Mauser lubrication

[damndirtyape]

I've got a Yugo M48 on its way, it's my first milsurp and first non-semi-auto. I have some modern rifles that only need a light oil, but I'm pretty sure the old bolt guns need grease in some spots.

What kind of grease should I use? White lithium? Where should I put it? Where should I use oil, or does it use grease exclusively?

I have the detail strip instructions from surplusrifle.com, but I didn't see any general maintenance guides. Maybe I missed them.

Links or tips greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No, just a light appl'cn of oil, that's all.

Love your name, BTW.

Here is an owner's manual for the M48 if you are interested. Can't attest for the company that put it out, but it is free:

a touch of grease behind the locking lugs is good on any bolt action or for that matter semi-autos as well. bearhunter

I must highlight the importance of putting a light coat of oil on the bolt. If you put too much on you will end up with a big glob of searing hot oil possibly hitting your face or someone elses.

Sure, PM your email and I can send it. Or you could google Mitchell's Mauser's manual.
