Internal Parts Re-Finishing

[Steve Koski]

After doing some polishing on some Ruger 10-22 trigger group parts I'm wondering what action to take. I've removed the black coating from the sides of some of the parts. Should I attempt to re-finish these somehow? If so, what do you recommend? If not should I just wipe them down with an oily rag and install them, or should I just put them in dry?

There are several different things you can do here. Refinishing is an option, but not the most economical one...
Try one of the many solutions aout there that will put a barrier/lubricant over the parts but is resistant to collecting debris/dirt. Look for one that leaves a dry film. My local shop has a new one that leaves a "Molly" coating. That would be good, but I havn't tried it yet.
