Hello,
I have an AK-47 Lancaster Arma ausa 7.62x39 Stamped receiver Romanian short stock manufactured by;
Arma Rifle & Cartridge
Parker, CO
(303)840 4450
Sales@armarifle.com
And I would like to know where exactly I should apply oil after strip cleaning an AK-47.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best Regards.

So, like in a car engine. Metal + Metal friction = lubrication. Thank you very much for your answer. Best Regards.
Funny: givette here. What you say is correct. In a broad sense. When in Vietnam the AK's were lubricated with what was [then known] as GAA. (Sorry, I don't know the civilian equivalent). Suffice to say, it was a thick grease. We were told to avoid the issue M16 LSA completely. It (the LSA) would shoot through the square hole in the back of the receiver, directly into your eye. Not good.
So, my recommendation, is a thick grease. Oh, I almost forgot..fire a few rounds "offhand" before you shoulder the AK. Any grease will shoot out the hole, and not blast into your eye. I was a corpsman (in country) then, and had to tend to those 'black eyes'. It wasn't fun...for the shooter. Joe
EDIT: Nowadays, there's no better protection than good shooting glasses. Best, Joe
Hi, new member and not trying to hijack a thread but wondering how you like the Lancaster. The dealer by me has a few for $500 each and i'm wondering if I want to spend that much for an AK. Also, do you know if they all have chromed barrels? Thanks
Is a beautiful rifle, surprisingly accurate and have a lifetime warranty. If you have any technical questions call Dan directly, he is the owner and also a great guy. I researched for months before buying and after much feedback I went with the best.
Lancaster / Arma Rifle & Cartridge.
I went through around 700 rounds and still feels like just came out from the store. I was told by several AK guys that big part of the Polish, Romanian and Russian ones that are sold in the U.S. as brand new, are built with used parts. You can't go wrong with a lifetime warranty. Good luck and keep in mind that this is a local Colorado business. You can even ask him to go personally to his factory; the guy will welcome you to his factory like a king. ($500) I am 100% sure that I got what I paid for.

Thank you for your feedback, very interesting yet scary to be honest.
