Knight DISC Bolt Cleaning

[Swamp]

Yesterday I went thru the bolt on this newly acquired DISC rifle, and man was that a goobered up mess. After watching the video on how to break down the bolt, and not having a C wrench as Knight calls it, I used a 7/16 open end wrench which worked perfectly. I unscrewed the bolt body to find the old grease inside was rust colored and nasty. I was worried for a moment, but after scrubbing it with a tooth brush and rubbing alcohol, it cleaned up beautifully. It all looks like brand new! This old ugly rifle is turning out to be a real beauty!

Question? What type of grease are you guys using on your knight bolts, or just oil?

Lightly oiled, no grease.

Lightly oiled, no grease.

If you use grease in very cold weather it may slow the pin to a point where it will not detonate the primer. Oil only.

The 7/16 open end wrench for a C wrench. Perfect.

A little bit of Remington spray oil.

A little bit of Remington spray oil.

That's exactly what I used MM.

Great minds think alike!

I have been seeing on these threads here and on the sister site that a lot of guys are starting to use WD-40 Specialist Corrosion Inhibitor. I'm going to get myself a can an try it out.
