[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 462078, member: 21068"] Galling is when you see grooves and (especially) built up metal that's been "scraped and then piled up" so to speak by the lack of lubrication. Yes, you should lube the back of the lugs every time you clean the gun. Wipe off excess grease after you've cocked and dry fired the gun a few times (what I have to do in cold climates) if you're shooting somewhere really warm, then it doesn't really hurt to leave some excess on the bolt, provided your action is staying clean and not getting sand and dirt blown into it. Now, the blueing worn off and flattened in between the lugs.......?? Huh...when the action is cocked and locked (fireing position) the lugs are 12:00 and 6:00 usually............So, if your groups are spreading horizontal and the wear spot is at 3:00 or 9:00 (when being fired)..........there may be something to this. Maybe a question for the gunsmithing section....?? [/QUOTE]
