Thread: cleaning t3 bolt internals to lube or not to lube

watched a vid on youtube that claims tikka owners manual to state that the bolt internals should be completely free of oil etc in otherwords run dry to work at there best
seems a bit odd to me would of thorght you need a light oil

so lube if so lightly or heavy
or no lube at all?

We use Valprex grease. Smooth as butter.

Ran mine with a light oil. Basically bit on a rag and rub

Well I guess we know who to blame for all the rusty tikka firing pin assembly's.

yep I pulled my brothers apart a week after a very wet hunt and was rusty as I now pull mine apart every 3 months or so and give it a clean and re light oil or grease it what ever I have handy

Its so easy to do. Why not after every hunt? 2 minute job

Cause it's only a tikka bolt, most carparks have a couple lying around
