Both: grease should go on parts that slide; oil other areas. Lightly.
All oil will eventually leach out of a firearm. Grease less so, but some things really need oil, not grease. |

There's three greases I used in guns: Two of them are Lubriplate: 105 (general white lithium grease), Lubriplate 103-A ("Rifle grease" for Garands, M1-A's, etc) and commercial moly NLGI #2 grease for applications where I'm looking to get the most lubrication from the least grease.

For the outside wipe down use a sheep skin that has RIG worked into the wool.
It will leave a very thin film of RIG on the surface of the metal protecting it. |
