when clening a BCG and reassembling it back together, should the firing pin be lubed? or kept dry?

i lube it and it seems to get really dirty quick.(not using wolf ammo!)

just light lube. use an already used patch that still has some CLP on it and just wipe the pin down, thats all thats needed.

A film just barely visible is all that's required.

The lube is more for the internal section of the bolt. Firing pins are chrome plated.

I lube the bolt well and I know the extra always finds it's way to the firering pin.

The army defines Light film of oil as a film you can feel but not see.
IMHE/O that is all you need on a firing pin. in sub zero temparatures i wiped the oil completely off the F.P. with out harm.

If "light" is just visible, and "generous" is finger-spreadable, then the amount of LP that Uni-Vibe uses on his lugs and cam pin should be called "storm surge."
