Title: Put in Bid For Some Good Silicone Chamber Oil !
Post by: wll2506 on April 01, 2022, 07:35:02 PM
Just put in a request for some one oz bottles of what looks like high quality silicon chamber lube.

Chamber lube is really expensive, I forgot --- In no way will I buy the Crosman stuff at $3.99+ for a 1/4 oz tube.

I'm starting to shoot springers again and want them purring with good quality lubes. !

I would say 20 or 30. Whatever Pellgun oil is. You can get from 5 up to about 200.

Thank you very much !!

I just ordered some 40 wt. I will add a little Moly to one of these to put a drop in every 1000 shots or so to keep the piston slick.

Thank you again,

Just got my Silicone Shock oil in 40wt --- added a little Tungsten Disulfide to it for added lubricity in the chamber. Getting ready to re-sight in my 1100S tomorrow. This will work well we as I have used pure silicone oil before in my springers chamber without any issues.

What is the purpose of adding tungsten disulfide to silicone oil?

  Is this oil good for use on other pellet gun seals?

Just to add to the lubricity of the silicone, can help with the "O" rings sliding if need be.

yes, Silicone oil is what you normally use on "O" ring seals.
