Thank you very much for the greetings and tips. I'll keep the ammonia-based stuff in mind as that matches the results in Ruth's book and other comments I've read. Noted on the bearing grease as I can grab some of that fairly easily. I was fortunate enough to have found a bolt tool on eBay for a very good deal and snagged that with a couple other M1icon Carbine tools, but the round count you give Jon is a number I'll keep in mind as I head to the range over the summer.

I'm happy to have finally taken the advice of many on the forums and elsewhere to make an account and reach out on the site. I appreciate the warm welcome.
