Anyone put a drop of oil into the safety disc to eliminate squeak?

I have a FS2000 since March 07. It developed a loud squeak when rotating the safety from safe to fire and vise-versa. I started a thread on the topic in the forum back then. One guy solved his by taking the plastic reciever halves apart and cleaned that area. I'm not so brave so I lived with the squeak. Annoying on a $2000+ rifle to say the least.

Recently, I bought a PS90. Checked safety for squeak...no probs. It might be my luck , but now, it too has developed the annoying squeak, when rotating the safety disc from safe to fire and vise-versa.

I'm still not brave enough to unscrew the bolts in the plastic receivers. On the FS2000, I tried compressed air into the recesses in the underside of the safety disc, to remove any debris to no avail. With the squeak on the PS90, I decided to try oil. I put one drop into each of the two recesses on the underside of the safety disc.

No more squeak. So I did it to the FS2000 and now that squeak is gone too. Anyone else oil their safeties as a part of regular maintenance?

I saw that post U were referring to - taking the stock apart - I wouldn't do that either.

I haven't needed to oil mine yet...

Not sure if this applies here, but some oils can damage these plastic parts. Just something to keep in mind.

I've taken my stock apart several time. cleaned all teh grease out of it, like I do with all my guns. I always store them bone dry. No problems, and no squeaks.

A drop of oil to stop the squeek is fine. but as lowmanjason said...Just make sure that the oil you use is safe for plastic. :?
