Hi Y'all-I have one of the above, and I tore it down as far as they tell you to go today, followed the cleaning instructions, and when I got to the part where we are ready to re-assemble, there was nothing about lube. Is there no need to lube this rifle? I had just shot it, and it ran great, and I could find no evidence of any lube inside, or anywhere else on the gun, so I thought I should check with you guys. Thanks, Flapjack.

If there are moving parts and metal to metal, lube.

Amen. Lube any metal-to-metal surfaces.

Light oil on all moving parts. Like Rem Oil

I would caution against any oil based lube, as the "blow back" gases would get gummy and retard the action (like many semi-auto 22's). If you have a moving part that is hanging up use a dry lube like graphite. Currently have a Camp 45 and over the years I have owned 2 camp 9's and dad still has a camp 9. The Marlin company knows how to maintain their weapons. Ivan

Good grief, go to page #6. Is it any different than any other semi auto?? Rem Oil like most new oils is teflon based.

That's what I suspected-the metal looks like the type that self lubes-they are sure nice guns, thanks I.T.B.
