I was given a small tube of Lubriplate about 30 years ago. When I have get an urge to do so, I put the smallest amount of the stuff on a clean patch and apply it, and then do everything I can to remove it with another clean patch. Then I'll take that patch and wipe a couple of other bolts and what-have-yous.
After 30-some years, the tube is still mostly full. A wee bit of Lubriplate has gone a long long way.
Most of the time, when I clean a rifle, I clean with Ed's Red which has ATF in it.

Frog Lube CLP on the bolt and the inside of the receiver and use bolt grease on the lugs.
This stuff is really, really good.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Any kind of light oil will work for the bolt body, the back of the lugs I put a dab of tetra gun grease.

Degrease the bolt first, then sit in the house and piss off your wife as you rack the bolt A pile of times. Your wasting your energy if it is oiled.

There's an old Cuban expression basically stating same: "with patience and spit, the elephant phugged the ant"....
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

That's great advice, given the number of ant-****ERS around here.

For a permanent solution, coat the bolt with Black-T, Micro-Slick, or NP3.

Or Dyna-Tek Gun Shield, which will be cheap, quick and last a long time.

I've tried that John and it definitely works for a good amount of time.

Lubriplate AA630 for the rifles, Astroglide for the gun.

I found some oil with the name "Slick as Snot". Great stuff and keeps working in both low and high temps. And it really is as the name says.

Keep it simple, a dab of bearing grease or RIG is all it would take and nothing would work any better.
