Hey guys,
I just got my first rifle, a Savage 110 with B&C stock. I have a question about lubricating it. I remember back when I used to shoot high end airsoft guns, you were supposed to use 100% silicon oil to lubricate them. It would make any metal on metal contact areas silky smooth and also protect the rubber seals. Can I use silicon oil on the bolt of my rifle to make the pull smoother? This would be used on areas where the bolt slides against the receiver only. I have normal gun oil to clean the barrel and chamber and bolt face and such. I see no reason why it shouldn't work, but I just wanted to ask and be sure. Only thing I can think of is the heat doing something to it, but I'm don't really know
Thanks!
