I know, get rid of the old junk, but I have a crew chief that really likes this gun.

The focus ring is hard to turn. When I took apart an old non-working gun it doesn't seem like much to lubricate. Two screws on the out side a then 4 more inside and you have access to the sticking parts, but what should I use to lubricate and/or what is the correct procedure and am I going to mess up something I don't know about.

Been trying to get my guy to look at the new guns for two years.......

Any thought are appreciated. The dealer who I bought it from doesn't even want to look at this.

If it were me, and it was my instrument I was attempting to PM, I would probably look into some fishing reel lubes and greases.

I use http://www.super-lube.com/super-lube-precision-oiler-14oz-model-51010-p-20.html&apos ;">this on reels and it's thin as water for parts that need zero friction, like a bait cast. Geared parts need reel grease instead of oil.
