I did a thorough tear down and cleaning of my GFIL’s ca. 1957 Winchester 63.
There was a lot of old impacted grease in the action. Oiled parts remained oiled after all this time. I suspect this rifle was last shot sometime in the early to mid 70s, with a very small chance it was in the early 80s….
so…. Now that it’s clean, I have different items coated with ballistol or G-96. I have slip, Miltec CLP, etc….
The manual I found online just says oil. Not much detail:
It seems like some sliding items were greased. I have the lubrippate M1 Garand grease, as well as some SFL-0 grease that is specified for something…
Any thoughts on if I should re-apply grease anywhere now that it’s cleaned up?
