You shouldn't need to leave much oil on anything in the receiver, if you use an oil or a lubricant make sure its a light oil or spray, not anything like grease. If hunting in wet conditions dissassemble bolt and clean/wipe dry occasionally. Their is a tube with a spring going from the back of the receiver into the buttstock that you should keep an eye on and spray wd-40 or some Rem Oil into occassionally or dissassemble that as well and clean and keep from rust forming.

What lube should you use on the SBE. I had one that was stolen and it recomended a dry graphite. The new one I purchased didn't come with the lube. I have tried a light gun oil but it doesn't work very well as the powder residue and the oil just gum things up. Any recomendations would be appreciated.

Try Pro-Tec. I use it and like it. The gun oil is light and good quality and comes in a greater syringe applicator that allows you to put a DROP where you want it. They also have a good grease if you ever need that - same syringe applicator. I have heard good things bout FP-10 and Militec. Breakfree gets so-so reviews because the teflon needs to be shaken well and it tends to dry out. Some people combine a grease with oil for longer-lasting lubrication and adhesion (grease) and lubricity of the oil. I use this combo on the rails of my .45, for instance. Works great...

Experiment a bit, avoid the WD40 and you will find what you like and what works well. Stay safe,
