What are you using for Bolt Lube

[doverpack12]

I have a cooper model 52 that has a stainless action and carbon steel bolt. I was using just lighter fluid with grease on the back of the lugs and my bolt got pretty rusty using it two days In blizzard conditions. Wiped down and dried as soon as I got home but it was already showing small rust spots. Bolt is at cooper now getting refinished but I’m going to need to use something different. Extractor also got rust down behind it along with ejector plunger. I’ve used Hornady one shot gun cleaner and dry lube with good success on other rifles previously just can’t remember if I ever used it on the cooper. I don’t shoot in a ton of super dusty conditions so thinking maybe a light oil will be best or the Hornady.

I put the tiniest amount of antisieze on the back of my bolt lugs, For general lube I use FP-10.

I use a tiny spot of grease on the lugs and dry the rest. I clean the inside with brake cleaner. after season I coat the firing pin with a light coat of oil.

don't forget to clean the trigger.

tuf glide and or nano oil.

I've never put lube on a rifle bolt. What's the purpose of doing this?

Taught that it helps prevents galling the lugs.

I use just a dab of shooters choice all weather on back of lugs weather but others would work.

I use clp or tiny bit light oil oil on bolt but will wipe off if hunting in very cold and especially the firing pin and spring run dry.

I use Boeshield on bolts and externals. Developed by Boeing for aircraft in saltwater environments. It leaves a protective coating, so you do not want it inside the bareel as it will increase chamber pressure. It beat out stainless in some testing.

galled lugs are not something you want. wheel bearing grease will do in a pinch. I fill a 10 cc syringe with it for the lugs. easy to squirt a dab on the back each lug. a dot where the bolt seats against the action as you close the bolt wont hurt either.

I use shooters choice or Montana extreme grease on my bolt lugs and raceways. I had the same issue of my Cooper model 92's bolt rusting on a sheep hunt. It has since been cerakoted because having a $2k+ rifle rust is shenanigans. I don't use oil because it migrates. grease stays where I want it.

Some sort of high timken rated synthetic grease on the lugs and synthetic oil on the rails after it’s all sprayed with one shot cleaner

I’ve used gun grease but mostly use bore butter or similar from my muzzleloader kit.

I use Mil-comm tw25b on my lugs as well as other moving parts. For the bolt body I use Finish Line dry Bike lube and recently received some “hobo oil” from a guy on accurate shooter. It is redicuously slick on my bighorn but does have a bit of an odor. I’ll keep using the bike lube for hunting as it doesn’t attract dirt at all.

This on my lugs. I put a drop of break free on my finger and rub the rest of my bolt down.

Milcom by far. If you want actual grease. It’s what BAT sends with their actions. It’s great on anything though. Especially Garands, M1s...anything calling for grease. I can shoot my BAT actions suppressed with no binding at all when using Milcom. I bought a container for like $70 about 10 years ago. Probably will last me the rest of my life. And my kids lol

That froglube stiff that comes in the chapstick tube. Its my favorite for bolts, always used it on m4 and m249 bolts too. Stays where you put it.

I work in a dam, hydroelectric power is a mix of bearings and water....every thing is wet.

The whole place runs on R&O oil. (Rust andoxidation).

I use it without fail. As a side note, my hobby is machining rifles. It's cheap oil and a $15 quart will last two lifetimes.
