Plan on shooting my M1 a bit more than in the past, so I broke down and broke it down this weekend to grease. Disassembled, greased all the wear surfaces and as instructed in the Brownells video. Took me a bit longer than required to reassemble, because there were a couple details I missed on initial disassembly. Disassembled and reassembled 3 more times to be sure its etched into my brain.
Question: I placed grease on the portion of the op rod that is enclosed in the gas tube. Thinking that was a mistake? I can wipe it off if it isn't appropriate. I realize it's a lossy system, don't want to tighten it up more than design pressures.
