It obviously needs some grease in the flutes & extractor channel, what kind do you folks recommend?

This is what I use for any grease firearm application. Hope this helps, made my M95 alittle "slicker".

I recall my dad always kept a small tube of graphite grease in his(now my) gun box. There was always a small can of '3 in 1,' or maybe it was 'Liquid wrench,' oil with graphite that he specifically used to put in outdoor pad locks to keep them working.
