Page 75 of the manual 'USE OF THE AUTOMATIC RIFLE IN AREAS OF HIGH TEMPERATURES AND SANDY TERRAIN'

'During extensive use of the rifle in dusty terrain, the bolt and guides in the receiver should be oiled frequently through the opening for the magazine and ejection port; the rifle need not be disassembled for this operation.'

odd. would seem that it would cause more shit to stick. but hey, who knows?

The manual doesn't provide reasons why to do or not do things, so I can only speculate.

My speculation is that since you're going to get sand/dust in the action anyway, sand/dust mixed with generous amounts of oil keeps working longer than sand/dust with less oil. BSW

My guess would be the generous clearance between parts would allow the dirt and dust to get blown out, add more oil to ensure not all oil is blown out with the dirt.

Same reason you oil a wetstone while sharpening a knife. The oil helps to carry the particulate matter away so that it does not embed in the stone. With generous oiling the oil will help to carry the dust and dirt out. The dust is going to get in there anyway, so the extra oil helps to get it back out.
