Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
I use Rem Oil. If you think you sprayed too much take the bolt out and lay it on your bench with shop towels underneath and let the excess run into the towels. Let it sit for a while, wipe down and reinstall. All good.

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
Yes, that is the firing pin spring and they are stiff. There are many different ways to pull on the cocking portion of the bolt. I happen to use a loop of nylon cord hung around the handle of my bench vise, then put the underlug of the cocking piece on the cord and pull down then rotate the cocking piece back into position.

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
Thank you all, just to make sure I have my parts correct the bolt head where the firing pin comes out, and that there are two lugs, people are talking about lubricating the back of that lug which basically would be facing the shooter when placed in the rifle?
And what about the cocking notch ? I just sprayed Remoil in that area and wiped offGunowner99 - NRA Benefactor Life Member

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
Yes, back of the lugs- facing the shooter.
They lock into the receiver when the bolt is turned down.Crusader's local #556 South Central Asia chapter

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
I get you. I shot it today, noticed the bolt had like gold on the sides in a line. Looks like from scraping the brass case in the mag when stripping a round off of the top. That normal I assume?

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
that's normal.
The brass is soft and transfers onto the bolt, feed ramp, etc.Crusader's local #556 South Central Asia chapter

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
Yeah, seems to wipe off but over time will it damage bolt?

Re: Bolt Action Rifle Bolt Lubrication
No. The brass is to soft to do damage.
