10/22 Trigger Lubrication

[Captains1911]

I took my 10/22 apart for the first time ever to clean, and was wondering if any lubrication is required on the fire control group parts, and if so, where exactly and what type of lube?

I lubed the inside of the receiver, bolt, and front of hammer with a very small amount of Remoil, I have read that it's suggested to use dry lube but I don't have any so i figured something thin like Remoil would be the next best thing.

Thanks.

Dry lube is best as it doesn't attract dirt and debris.Any light oil will be fine,but don't over do it.A little goes a long way.

This link has some good information.

The information is for the 10/22, but I think that it really has applications in all firearms.

I've had good luck with Shooter's Choice FP-10. Works well with all of my semi-auto's! Use sparingly, a little goes a long way! There are a lot of good lube's out there and most are not too expensive....

I recently shot a bullseye match with my Ruger MK II and had two very light hits on the cartridges which caused a Failure to Fire (FTF).

In order to correct the problem, I cleaned this pistol and applied CLP's "Break Free" lubricant to the bolt. This lubricant has an excellent reputation with shotgun shooters (Remington 1100's) and I believe that it will do the trick.
