Silvers recommends keeping the hinge pin and rotary bolt surfaces
clean & greased, especially after each outing. What kind of grease is
recommended, and where is the rotary bolt surfaces? Thanks.

Mojave, most any gun grease will do although I like one in particular. Info follows. It should be cleaned off and renewed after every outing. If not it will accumulate burned powder residue and become abrasive. The reason I use grease is it sticks to the surfaces and doesn't run off like oil will do. The hinge pin is obvious and the rotary bolt surface is on the projection at the top end of the barrels that sticks back at you when you open the gun. Looking at it from the right barrel side, there is a camming surface cut into the hole in the projection. That's where I put the grease.

The best grease I ever found is CMD Gun Lube made for Kolar competition shotguns (I don't own a Kolar). This grease is very sticky and doesn't migrate, but it's hard to find. I usually get a tube for inventory from one of the tent vendors while at a large tournament. You might be able to get it from the manufacturer, I never tried. I'm sure you can get it from Kolar but I don't have the contact info handy. I hope this helps. Silvers

If you can't find gun grease. You might just get a tube of High Temp bearing grease It is made to do the same job in very difficult conditions at high speed. Some might even venture that, like classic gun finishes, it is re-branded and price increased for gun owners.

You'll probably find this product endorsement enlightening:

Thanks guys for the info. I will certainly follow it.

There's a really good grease called " Slide Glide" made by Brian
Enos at: BrianEnos.com. It comes in different viscosities. I use it for
my battle rifles ( M1 Garand, M1 Carbine & M1A) It does not migrate,
and remains on the metal. The S-G#1 standard viscosity can be used
for shotguns above 50 degrees. The S-G lite can be used for shotguns
below 50 degrees.

He states that: Most unburned powder residues that may become visible in the grease are actually lubricating in nature(graphite) , and do not
adversely affect the performance of the grease. Slide-Glide effectively
insulates dust particles from touching the steel, so no deed to worry about dusty environments.

Check it out if you get the chance!

I dont think i would want to get any of my guns as hot as the link supplyed by bamboozler. i have been on many fast dove hunts but i also take two or three guns with me as not to heat them up so bad you need gloves to hold on to it! i am sure many of you get yours pretty warm at your skeet shoots this is the grease that i use and it seems to hold up realy well "RIG" brand +p stainless steel lube or "RIG brand universal lube. they can be pick up at about any shooting or sporting goods store.
