Hw30s/R7 barrel pivot lube ?

[harry palmer]

Do any of you guys lube the ball bearing detant on your rifles?.I ask because I had a bad faulty lock up on a previous HW30s (which I got a refund for).It`s got me a bit paranoid and I don`t know whether to stick with just lubing the barrel pivot bolt on my current 30s (which locks up nice and snug without lube) or perhaps put a dab of Moly on the ball bearing as well!

Thanks

Kenny.

harry, I lube all of the areas in the barrel block inside and outside on the shims and inside the fork area alittle in the center of the bolt and the detent!

Thanks brother; I`m probably over-thinking things and seeing problems were there are none!

I lube the detent and ball on the R7s I've worked on.  It helps for a smoother lock-up, as it reduces friction.  I too lube the barrel pivot bolt, shims and the bottom of the cocking arm and cocking slot.  Even though most R7/HW30 are smooth to start with, putting some moly on these parts does make a difference.
