Yeah, calcium lime rust.
Yep. But don’t use it on non stainless items. It can etch carbon steel (tool steel and such).
Here is a video on how to maintain the bolt and how to put lube on the lugs and not have it scrape off the first time you cycle the bolt:

He makes a great point about keeping the grease on vs wiping it off the action.
Funnily enough, I've always used anti-seize and/or white lithium grease on the lugs.
Thx for that succinct video, I've forwarded it to a few new shooters.

That's good to know.
I thought the CLR was a typo (for CLP) until I realized you were serious, right after your etching non stainless comment.

What firing pin removal tool is he using in the video?
For the pistols I use Mobil 1 motorcycle oil (20w50 iirc) and have a old Visene bottle of it in my range bag. For the rifles bolt and semi, I use ALG (Geissele) Go Juice and 0000 grease. I used it last winter through deer season and it never got gummy and stayed slicker than snot. I didn't have any issues through the summer with it running all over...
I just purchased a Kelbly F class Panda and it came with a syringe of grease to use on the lugs. Could have something to do with the steel bolt head riding on the aluminum ways. I have used grease and oil in the past on my bolt guns. I'm not sure yet what works best.Sorry to further complication however, on Brownells they advocate oil and specifically not grease for the locking lugs
Interestingly, they do sell both bolt grease as well as fluid bolt lubricants
ofelas, that's the rule I've always used! My lube of choice is Lubriplate, grease and oil.
I have a similar Rem 700 bolt tool to the one used in the video, and I purchased it either from Brownells or Midway. They're a common item.

I think you're mixing up CLP and CLR.....CLR will mess up nitride. From AREA 419:
"NOTE: The use of Lemishine (or any citric-acid cleaner) or CLR to clean your brake will likely discolor the black nitride, and will void the lifetime warranty of your product. Don’t do this. Seriously. It’ll turn pink and you’ll feel like an idiot."
I think CLP is just fine.
Oh yeah I think you're right!
0W-20 motor oil.
High shear strength, picks up particulates like carbon, high temp resistance due to synthetic nature of the oil, cheap, what's not to like?

Thanks for sharing this video. Kind of new to bolt guns and this will be a big help.
