Hello I was wondering where everyone suggest to apply plastilube on the 1941 Johnson?

If it rotates , oil it . If it slides , grease it.

so the bolt assembly then?

I have not seen a detailed lube chart on the Johnson , the above was given as sage advice on most USGI small arms. I don't have one in front of me to check , but from memory , here goes. The little lug up front that goes into the bbl lock , the bolt and carrier ( esp the reciever top groove & rollers ) , top of hammer / bottom of carrier , smear in the trigger / hammer catches , a bit on the tail that goes into the buttstock , any rub marked areas on the bbl. or anywhere else that pops up that I can't recall offhand. A little dab on the crosspins to ensure no rusting in place will help those little tabs stay attached. A dab of anti-seeze on the threads of the parts that contain the mainspring . Hopefully others will chime in.
