Where to lubricate a MG2
Just wondered where do you oil your pistol? Owners manual didn't mention anything about lubricating it.

I lightly oil mine
on the frame where the slide runs along it
the sides of the pivoting bullet ramp where they meet the frame
the underside of the slide where it presses on the pivoting bullet feed ramp and
the side of the bullet positioning lever in the top strap.
Essentially a very light oil where any parts move against each other.

Additional points requiring light lubrication:
1) Trigger disconnector (view pistol from right side - the disconnector sticks up above the frame in a location where the rearward-moving breechblock/slide will push it downward to cause the trigger to disconnect during the reloading process)
2) Dry Fire / Live Fire selector - this is held in either position by a spring ball - a little oil in there helps keep things moving freely.
3) Hammer pivot point - this is easy to lube from the top side of the slide cover
4) I put a little oil on the slide guide rods and springs, as well as on the barrel where the slide moves on it. I don't think this is really absolutely necessary, but a few pennies worth of oil is a small investment in potentially improving the longevity of the pistol.
