Roger, about that Pratt guy, I think he's been in the smoke too long, got to get away from that forge for a while. Don't
put GREASE on the fly, it has to flop around, grease slows it up too much. I have some of that red grease, sold by Shooters Choice, comes in a little plastic hypodermic needle type of thing, use it on my trap guns. I usually put a little on
the shank of the tumbler, where it goes thru the lock plate, I also put some on the tumbler where the main spring rides,
and a little on top of the sear, where the sear spring rubs against it. All of the other moving parts get fine oil. You might
want to re-think all of the above if you are planning on taking that gun out where it might be pretty cold. I think I would
forget about the grease, except maybe where the main spring rides on the tumbler...all the other areas would get fine oil.
Here's a little polishing tip I use.....I take some 600 grit emery paper, wrap it around a dowel (smaller than the tumbler hole that goes thru the lock plate). I then spin the lock plate on this to polish the hole, works great...........Don
