Does anyone have instructions for lubricating an M1917? Which parts should be oiled and which parts should be greased? As a general rule, I clean all of the metal parts with mineral spirits, let dry, apply a liberal amount of oil (I use MILITEC-1 for this part), let sit for a while, wipe off the excess, then apply oil or grease as appropriate as I reassemble. If no written instructions are available, I guess the old "if it rotates, oil it; if it slides, grease it" would be a good starting point!!
