What Oil ?? Or Lube ??
I haven't had these Rugers very long and I was wondering what you fellows use on the bolt? I been using a lite coat of CLP but then again I haven't fired over 200rds at one time. So far it's held up OK.
The old Ruger I had I used WD-40 and Gunslick.. A little shot of WD-40 and you was good for another 200rds.

My Mark III is stainless so there is the galling possibility. I put white lithium grease ( I get it in two ounce squeeze tubes at the hardware) on a cotton swab and lightly coat the rear two thirds of the bolt, minus the "ears". I use Hoppe's oil in a General precision oiler for everything else.
WD-40 is more of a moisture protector than a lubricant.

I use Red Oil myself.
1 drop on the extractor.
1 drop on the bolt by the rear of the ejection port.
Then lock the bolt back and apply 1 drop on either side, forward of the ears, and one drop on the recoil spring.
Brush out the chamber, and I'm good to go for the day.

Thanks for the info as I like to look over and try different lubes and such. My one son in law who is on the police force dropped off a can of stuff called Inox. It's a spray that's suppose to bond with the metal. I put some on my range pistol for the Tuesday night shoot.KAZ wrote:You might be interested in reading the recommendations of EEZOX Synthetic Gun Oil on the MIDWAY site.
