a bit of an Eddie Haskle
I have a Stevens 335, 1930's era, gun books show only 2000 made over a 10 year span.
As I have the receiver apart and have found the trouble spot, I notice tons of 80+ year old assembly grease which has since totally dried up, mostly on parts such as hammer springs, and friction/wear surfaces such as a safety leaf spring to receiver. The question:
What is the best thing to use upon re-assembly? I suspect regular wheel bearing grease would suffice since their are no plastic/composite surfaces to worry about. Any other suggestions from folks here?
