So you think I should take that grease off and check it before I re grease and reassemble?
I usually dont with the thinking that it should be good if it has grease on it.
I havent started any reassemble yet so could still do it.
I love taking these rifles apart and seeing how they work. Dont you guys?
Get em all cleaned up before I take em out and dirty them again.

Heck I was taking apart the M1icon Carbine bolts by hand and reassembling them before I even knew there was a jig to make it easier.
