Advice on lubricants . . .
My last post was instructive. Thanks for all of the help. My Talon is working fine right now, and I’m not touching it until after Monday, which is the opening of Rabbit season here. But from now on, no more gun oil, no more oil period. Okay, now I need a brand name for silicone lubricant.
I just went shopping, and all of them seem to contain a petroleum distilate of some kind. I have a feeling that’s not good. Should it be water soluble?
I bought one called Wynn’s multi-use silicone lubricant, but once bitten twice shy. I may have some trombone-slide silcone cream around that’s water soluble, but I’d like to be sure this time.
I have a feeling all of my airgun problems have been due to oil. 😕 😳 😳

I knew it wouldnt take long after reading the title….. 😆
he beat me to the punch line.
I prefer the jelly over the liquid as it stays on the orings a little better. Also I’ve heard it adds 20fpes by heating the air in the breech before hitting the pellet.

That stuff you found on Ebay is perfect. Its what I use. I saw it recommended on some airgun site I cant remember the name… rhymes with Jello??
I have a huge tube of it I bought from McMaster Carr.
These little packs of lubrication you get for your brakes or electronics are non-petroleum silicon. You just can’t eat it like you can the divers grease.

Got Some!!!
Nothing in eBay under divers grease, but lots under scuba grease fyi
As long as it is petroleum free! 😉
We don’t have a dive shop in Prince George. But I found this online. Would this perchance be okay?
Go to a dive shop and ask for divers grease, it is the silicone grease you need, it is available in little ear plug type containers, which wil last years.

Use Divers Silicone for breech o-rings only.
