I've taken the action apart too many time to remember, what parts get grease and what gets a light coat of oil? Basically I need to know what not to oil or grease?
What to lube?

I've been using Rem oil with teflon lubricant, I don't think this is the dust attracting kind. At least this is what I use to wipe down the guns with after shooting. But untill reciently I haven't got into the actions and trigger groups.
These are 10/22s, we're talking about? (as opposed to other action-types or ARs)
Dri-Lube Teflon on a clean dry, oil free action. Including, the recoil rod/spring.
The only thing that sees any oil, on my 10/22s, is the barrel/bore as a rust inhibitor after cleaning.
No "gumming up" or attracting dust. The burnt powder residue on the bolt face just comes off with a light "toothbrushing".
I usually do a "total strip-down", maybe once a month for a good solvent cleaning and re-application of the teflon, only because I like to. It could probably go longer between cleanings.

Well, it all depends.....
The last time, about 3 weeks ago, that I went shooting, it was over 400 rnds thru the same rifle, on the same day. I didn't bother to clean the action, afterwards, just the barrel.
During the "good weather" months....maybe 300 rnds, per rifle, per week. I usually bring 2-3 rifles, to the range, with me. Rimfire & centerfire.

10/22 Lubes
Just a note here:
Dry Teflon type spray lubes work very well on the 10/22, as they do not 'gum-up' the action, as will ANY type of oil....! !
[ "Rem Dri-Lube" and "Black & Decker Dry-Lube" ("B&D Dry-Lube") ]
"CLP" works very well on the 10/22....! !
"Anderol" synthetic lube works very well on the 10/22.....! !
[Developed during the Korean War for aircraft auto-cannons]
Silicone spray lubes are NOT particularily well suited for 'metal to metal' contacts; they work 'best' between polymer or rubber and metal contacts: auto windows, auto door hinges, pump seals, pump packings, valve packings, faucet seals, spinning reels, o-rings, etc..
Remember, many competition clay shooters shoot their Rem 1100's "dry".....! !
Hope this helps.....! !
