So do not oil the bolt where it slides against the top of the action housing, got it. It looks like a lot of wear in there, at least you can see where it rubs against it.

I use Hoppes No. 9 & Rem oil in the little dropper bottle & the spray can, so I'm good there.

and
Rem Oil 10oz aerosol
Rem Oil 2oz bottle

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Thanks Rick, I'll keep you in mind for my reorder.

I'd oil there and then wipe it so only a residue of oil was left. What adheres to the metal should be sufficient lubrication and there shouldn't be enough oil to collect combustion byproducts.

WRW, that's what I had done on the last cleaning, I have yet to shoot it again.

Just found this thread... I have a few Model 60s and have found the forum below most valuable. Through this forum you can find references for completely taking down the gun including action.

I had a similar problem with jamming even after cleaning. It was largely resolved by tweaking the ejector spring a little closer the centerline of the casing. I believe the link below covers this. See the seventh post on this thread. Nice pic of the adjustment.

...again, way late to this thread but thought I would add for future reference. Good folks in that forum and much knowledge of the Model 60 through the ages.
