Any gun grease will work. Just don't overdo it and use just a thin coat I like to use grease on the rails too because it stays in place longer than just oil. Especially if you don't shoot the gun very often.
Hello R-51 Pistol forum members
As you no doubt notice this forum looks different. I had to perform a major update due to some problems that were preventing the forum from loading.

I have seen several posts on here from shooters who took a loop or two off the mag springs

During his first attempt to shoot the R51, he kept locking up the trigger after firing a round. I found he was trying to shoot fast and pulled the trigger for the second shot before the R51's action had cycled. I explained what happened and told him to keep the trigger depressed until the gun finished recoiling and was coming back on target. He did that and had no further problems with the trigger.

I forget that many people unfamiliar with handguns are unaware of the special requirements that different types of actions can have. With revolvers you must let the trigger fully release to reset.

First they recommend sorting brass since case wall thickness varies, and I do that. Next is to measure the case wall thickness, and the bullet's diameter. So, if you are using a .356 bullet and the case wall thickness is .010, the outside diameter of the crimp should be .375. That is the bullet diameter added to two times the wall thickness since you are measuring two walls and crimping the round .001 results in the total of .375.
