I disagree with you on lubricating the outside of the bolt, I found on my VSR-10 the addition of Molydebnum grease to the exterior of the bolt improved lock-up time by quite a bit and made everything MUCH smoother (and quieter) over all.

Again -- It depends on the play area... if I use my VSR in a sandy area, a piece of guntape goes over the ejection port, but I don't find it collects dirt nearly as much as people say it does.
