I have a cheapo winchester one and it doesn't squeak. I'd guess some oil would help. Sounds like you may also have a model that allows the gun the pivot.

I have used a Q-tip to apply a tiny dab of vaseline to squeaky pivot points. Worked for me.

when my bipod was new I got some "creaking" from the pivot springs.  Must have worn in, because it doesn't make noise now.  Try some spray lube.  Might help.
