Ballistol and Rig for me as well. The hinge isn't the only metal-to-metal surface that needs the lubrication. The knuckle where the forend iron meets the frame, the sides of the lug, and one place that most everybody misses, the flat, yet somewhat curved forward face of the rearmost locking lug where it contacts the crossmember in the slot in the frame for the lug.
