Oil applied lightly is all it will need. Mosins cock when you bring the bolt handle up, so it will always feel a little stiff when operating the action after a shot.

I was more curious about the protective qualities or grease in an open action. It tends to stay put and not evaporate away or be susceptible to moisture and rain. I'm especially concerned about preventing corrosion on the odd "white steel" used to make the bolt group, as my fingerprints have already imprinted on the bolt handle clearly. |

As long as you aren't storing your MN in a humid basement or deliberately exposing it to moisture for prolonged periods, you're good to go. |

I just use EEZOX on mine so CLP should be OK.

I use grease on the bolt locking lugs ant the camming surfaces of the cocking piece. Also a bit on the boltways to smooth the action out. I use a military rifle grease dated 1963 I found at the local FFL. I oil all other parts with a light coat of Hoppe's.
