I use ALG Go-Juice (get the grease, not the oil), link below. Works fine in all my bolt guns. I've tried to use it in the past as a more durable corrosion protection instead of gun oil when taking a gun out in the weather, didn't seem to work any better or worse. Once a rifle gets stuffed into a pack and rucked a few miles, whatever I smeared on the action seems to rub off either way. Oh well.I recently became aware of greasing the lugs on the bolt
What grease do you all use?
Any other areas on a bolt rifle that you use grease on?
Holy hell. Every now and then I find something that utterly changes my mind, and this is one of those magical moments.I don’t even bother with anything else now.
Hornady one shot dry lube and that’s it. It improves the feel of any bolt gun.

By: DIY_guy We all want to use goods quality products on our guns, bows, fishing gear, knives, autos, hunting and lake front gear and like you I?m not a fan of letting things get rust on them nor am I a fan of items wearing out prematurely. To protect my investment in gear, I begandayattherange.com
Any one not doing this... But then again, may be I'm just poor.Don’t overthink it. Little bit on the lugs, where the various parts cam together to cock the firing pin (at the back of the bolt/action body) and anywhere else where you see wear marks as time goes by.
I usually put a little on the major contact points and cycle the bolt a couple of times. Wipe anything that’s left on the bolt down to a thin layer and move on.
Don‘t put any on the bolt face, in the firing pin hole, on the extractor or ejector. No sense in inviting dirt to hang around in the little nooks that, if jammed, would cause a malfunction.
This ^^.A synthetic light grease.
I use this on anything that is "steel-to-steel" ... and oil on things like springs. This stuff lasts "forever" (almost), and stays in place really well. Works beautifully on bolt lugs.I recently became aware of greasing the lugs on the bolt

^ This, Slip2K EWG goes on my bolt gun bolts and pistol slide rails. I used to use Tetra and it worked fine too. I have mostly moved from Eezox to One Shot where the main concern is cleaning and corrosion protection.Put whatever grease you want on it, it doesn’t really matter. What matters more important is field stripping and cleaning the bolt regularly.
EWG grease is what I use. Best anti-galling properties out there in a gun grease, we use it to fit 1911 slides/frames as well.
Keeping the mating surfaces clean is important though, or you’ll be lapping your lugs at the range.
Just keep it out of the bolt face. This is a great tip on the ejector if you have this style. Just make sure and wipe the face clean so as not to increase pressure or contaminate primers.Thanks, Max -- That is a great video -- explains it clearly.
Thanks to all for the recommendations
I will be greasing and cleaning the bolt from this day forward -- Just got a nice custom-action rifle, so this is right on time
I was gonna say I just use 600 grit lapping compound. After a while, it feels like your not even closing or opening a bolt.well I used cheap ass play sand like fine powdered sugar and while it was gritty and rough for a while as well as crunchy , It's all polished and smooooth now like glass , zero friction
You’re welcome.Holy hell. Every now and then I find something that utterly changes my mind, and this is one of those magical moments.
I have One-Shot, I use it to lube cases when sizing, but it has immediately become my new go-to lubricant/protectant, based on that website alone.
Thanks a ton @rydah, looking forward to trying it! If it doesn't work any better than my normal stuff, no loss, but it seems super promising!
Just how old are you there, Ishmael?Whale oil.
Really.
Sirhr
Old enough to know that the finest gun oils in the world didn't come from drilling... but from harpooning.Just how old are you there, Ishmael?
That's where your messing.... you have to cook them live!A special grease i make from rendering down dead hookers.
It’s called Boulevard snot.

Seriously you guys are retarded!!!! For an AI you have to use Virgin / Organic. You can't use regular hooker!!!!View attachment 7740403
Working in a batch today in fact! Anyone need some premium filtered dead hooker oil for their AI? See ad in the UGPX.

Fucking amateur!!!
Best stuff I have yet to find, full synthetic and has tons of molly in it, stays put like it is suposed to in race engines it was designed to be used in. Thin enough not to give you problems when it's cold out.
A synthetic light grease.
A small tube of Super Lube goes a long way
Hey @acudaowner this sounds just crazy enough to work. My problem is I'm having a tough time finding "ass play sand" at any price point.well I used cheap ass play sand like fine powdered sugar and while it was gritty and rough for a while as well as crunchy , It's all polished and smooooth now like glass , zero friction
