    I've also started using a spray Teflon made by DuPont that dries to a wax. Seems to work well. Be sure to spray the bolt lugs.

    I have switched to using Hornady one shot on every gun I have. It is a dry film type lube, very slick and excellent corrosion protection (just look it up online).
    I also have a little bit of moly grease I use on some higher pressure areas (like the cocking ramp in the bolt body)

    I like teflon.... just not in my frying pans cause its a carcinogen... buts its ideal to not let crud stick to it.

    Ok then, lots on the lugs!!! Got it!!!
