Jim Fuller Says that Light oil gets cooked off so us White Lithium Grease.

[@efrenmeza0823]

i literally just watched that video last night. picked a tube of grease earlier this morning lol

[@richardrobinson9534]

I use high temp mechanics grease ( red ). One can will last forever.

[@analogludite9575]

Interesting to see how other people do it. I use wheel bearing grease, because it's stiffer and stays where you put it. It's made to hold up to high temps and pressure between moving parts. I dab it on with the end of toothpick. I put it on the cylindrical part of the bolt, where it moves in the carrier, on the carrier in the grooves that ride on the reciever rails, and the locking lug cam groove. A drop of oil on the trigger and disconnector hooks, and pivot pins. Then the whole thing gets a wipe down during reassembly. There is a distinction between lubricating for movement and oiling for rust prevention. I've been doing this to my MAK-90 since I got it in the mid 90's, and she still runs fine.😊

[@1mataleo1]

Thanks for this. Would red high temperature lithium grease work just as well as the bearing grease?

[@caseknives-3643]

@@1mataleo1yes

[@richardlahan7068]

I'm glad someone is making AK lubrication videos. To hear the Bubbas tell it, all you need to do is run a shoestring soaked in diesel fuel down the barrel once every 10 years or so.

[@reliablethreat23]

Oil burns off after the first few rounds. Jim Fuller recommends Lucas white lithium grease.

[@johnlong7504]

I did enjoy your greasy clip and like to thank you for the little 'hammer-trick' since my brand-new unused AK-47 likes to flip fingers at me when it comes to the re-assembly part - take care and keep shooting safely!

4:06 woah woah woah woah

[@artyomhardbassjunkie8375]

Thank you, I just watched 4 videos and none of them showed up close and step by step what to do.

[@G2niverse]

You're quite welcome, you can also always run a light coating on your rails inside as well.

[@artyomhardbassjunkie8375]

@G2niverse yeah I found that to be easier to slide the bolt carrier in.

[@humansvd3269]

I just use a decent CLP and call it a day. As long as the rails and bolt lug are free of debris, you're good but a light grease doesn't really hurt.

[@blaneahm9891]

Good video man, it's always good to oil your guns to prevent rust but not a whole lot of oil. Hey, may I ask what you used there, was it motor oil?

[@G2niverse]

Just a standard 3 in 1 oil. But yeah motor oil works great too.

[@gergemall]

@@G2niverse , super !

[@whackywheels5920]

I just slather it in high temp grease in the bolt components and motor oil in thre gas piston area. Runs like a champ.

[@gergemall]

Great video . Don’t know why it took me so long to find your channel .

[@G2niverse]

Welcome aboard!

[@lude304]

What about a little oiling on the guides?

[@PrimalRampageGaming]

You sound just like the guy on channel XBeau Gaming, its crazy.

[@danielhiatt2378]

5 years no lubrication on my AK. I'm doing it now though with a clean. Just sent 350 rounds no problem before watching this. Over 3k without lubing 😂

[@G2niverse]

I mean let's be real... people who run an ak know it doesn't really need it.

[@samdiggly4292]

How often do you do a bore road or snake?

[@G2niverse]

every deep clean....which to me is putting more than 50 rounds through a barrel.

[@Pyrorocket123]

Just bought one i was told i should clean it up before i shoot it is that true although its new?

[@G2niverse]

100%. Full breakdown, cleaning and lubrication. Fabrication and assembly leave a lot of residuals. Quality inspections typically take care of this, but I'm not one to put faith into someone else. Plus it gets you familiar with that particular weapon.

[@Pyrorocket123]

@ thanks bud! Do you know what kind of trigger comes with the akp

[@Pyrorocket123]

@ would you also recommend changing it?

[@Pyrorocket123]

@ just took it to the range today & i was left speechless… i love the gun but i do want to change the trigger this will be my first time i want something were i can rapidly press the trigger for a mag dump any recommendations

[@jonmicknono7138]

Just lightly grease the bolt lightly grease the rails you’re done….!

[@mikemuenze5390]

I personally would use synthetic motor oil especially in high heat areas. 🤔

[@G2niverse]

good stuff...not worth $30 a can in my opinion though.

[@bryanjohnson1628]

#1 Your title says "Greasing" up Ak. You didn't use any grease. You used "oil". That's a big difference. I'm OCD...and ya pissed me off.

[@G2niverse]

When ya get a little "honey on your stinger", it's neither honey or a stinger, just saying.

[@GunGuy258]

😅😅😅

[@EXPOSING_UNREALITY]

comrade just dump ak in oil it will still shoot fine..
