[QUOTE="Of001, post: 2014667, member: 116075"] So ive got myself a mauser m12. I love it, but i have a couple of issues. The most important is the bolt. Its tight. Very tight. With any oil whatsoever it requires more force than i like, or think it should require to move and leaves a rib of oil at the rear of the action and mag well. I only use a drop. The manual does not say to oil or not, just wipe clean the action. I plan on cerakote for the barrel and outside of the action. My understanding is that cerakote has some lubricity especially when applied thinly. Is this true? At least for cerakote brand Somewhere i saw a "pro" version application that is extra thin. Should i/could it help to flute the bolt, or flute AND cerakote the action? the bolt? I get adding material will tighten things but do you think removing 80+-% surface area (more towards a shallow 'skeletonizing' than the widely spaced 50/50 flutes) and adding lube will work or cancel eachother out? Maybe jewling to add a a few thousands space/hold oil? [/QUOTE]
