ok i don't know much about gas operated guns accept how to shoot them, so the other day i took it upon myself to educate...myself. anyway, i took it apart the other day according to this website to clean it, and wiped off all the grease and took the gas tube and cleaned it up real good, but my question is: does that cylinder in the gas tube need grease, or is oil ok, AND, is there anything i need to do to be safe to fire it again since i took it apart? like some kind of pressure deal or something?

I think you should keep the tube clean except for a light coating of oil. Works for mine anyway.

Awesome. It Had A Little Grime In It Before I Cleaned It, And I Just Added A Little Oil To It And Put It Back Together. Like I Said I Don't Know Jack About Gas Rifle's So I Just Wanted To Make Sure It Was Still Going To Work, Or Wasn't Going To Blow Up. Like I Said, Stupid Question

NOT a stupid question,book says no oil,but if one is not going to shoot it for a while a light oiling makes sense as the tube is not chrome plated like the piston.

sometimes the inside of the tube will have a coating of cosmo, inspect it and clean it out well, a little light oil on a clean piston is ok, dont overdo it. Make sure the tube and piston is seated right and the lever is in the proper position, remember the gas path for leakage is right into your face, also if you have a yugo it does not have a chrome lined rifle bore, so clean it well

If you're going to shoot it fairly often, it's supposed to be run dry. That also keeps the powder residue from caking up, makes cleaning much easier.
If it's going to sit awhile, I give it a coating of heavy LSA oil - it doesn't evaporate away like lighter oil. But I wipe it out before shooting.
I've shot the SKS with the gas system dry, oiled and heavily greased. Dry is best. Oil and grease will just blow out the vent holes anyway.
