What is the reasoning behind the glob of grease in the assembly? Also do I need to re-pack the bugger with grease or just wipe it down with oil before re-assembly?

I also couldn't believe the nooks and crannies of the receiver and rear sight set up when I tore it down for a summer cleaning.

Thanks,
