Rifle bolt lubrication

[Re-Pete]

Anyone tried synthetic Hypoy 75/90 gear oil? Stinks a bit, but certainly ticks the "stays put/handles high pressure" boxes for a rifle bolt...

Wouldn't put it on a trigger or down the barrel, though.

This is what Bat machine recommends for use on their bolts

what's wrong with gun oil ?  I use a tiny amount of high pressure grease on the locking face of the lugs.

I never put oil of any type near my triggers (Barnard, Bix n Andy, Triggertech)

Interesting...I have Jackson Rifles CG Universal, and RPA triggers.....the RPA trigger manual gives specific locations for spots of graphite grease, and the CG manual suggests lubricating the trigger with "WD40 or a similar light oil which will evaporate to leave a dry lubricating coat".

I use a dry PTFE lube on both: https://www.mymotorworld.com/ptfe-dry-film-lubricant-400ml?msclkid=16018ce64943149a995cebf9efdea2b4 or similar.

Have never lubricated any triggers in any shape or form....had one of my rifles for 15yrs...never lubricated...'if it ain't broke don't fix it'

(you watch...it's sods law that I'll get a trigger that cocks-up very soon!)

Accuracy international recommendations are CLP for bolt and action. Gt 85/wd40 for triggers and that’s it. Everything else is leave it dry . A little grease on the folding stock hinge .

This works a treat.

Wildcat moderator s recommend this grease for threads and o rings

Slightly off-topic, but worth a mention.  Almost compulsory for DPT moderators.
