@2142Unknown Grease just lasts longer than oil does. Its mostly preference.

Awesome video, thanks {=P

Thanks for you vid. I finally dissembled, and did thorough clean and reassembled.
If it wasn't you vid, I wouldn't feel confident breaking it down.
Thanks again!

If you get a chance, can do the instruction vid on how to clean and take down the piston bolt.

I noticed your lubricating with "grease".
I have never seen anybody do that before, i also didnt know that anybody made "gun grease". I just use generic gun oil to lubricate my firearms. But the thing is that as of now, my arsenal only consists of 4 pistols and 1 shotgun. Is gun grease a sort of more "heavy duty" lubricant mainly used for rifles? Is there some sort of reason against the use of ordinary gun oil on a battle rifle such as this?
Thanks

@2142Unknown On an M1A I use grease as I believe that is what was originally intended to be used on this type of rifle. I use lubriplate. You can always check with the manufacturer of your weapon to see what they recommend, or check the manual.

The Springfield Armory manual for this rifle (M1A) clearly states that the "chamber" is designed to operate "dry" (without lubrication). Have you heard this?????

@harosport87 If you're storing the rifle, oil it. If you're shooting it, run a dry patch through it first.

There's a multi-tool for these rifles that allows you to disassemble the gas system, among other things.

@AnimeFanatic5602 Yeah I don't have the multitool but I did pick up a gas tube wrench from Fulton Armory.
