HOW and with WHAT do you lube your Nitro Pistons with?

[Lambchops]

Hello everybody. I got my Titan GP Low Velocity in about 2 weeks ago, and after 350 or so shots she is beginning to "honk" or squeak while cocking. I'm thinking that the internals are dry. Now here is my question, what do I need to lube the internals with and how? It should be pretty straight forward I'm guessing.

The linkage is in need of a de-burr and lube.  I just use Pell-oil on the linkage...
But Wait!....
Perhaps if your lucky and the winds are right.....one of the almighty Oracles of the forum will divulge a secret and bestow upon you the answers you seek.

A de burr won't be needed I think..

Don't know till ya take the stock off.  mine was making a screech in
the first few inches of the cocking stroke. Cleaned up the linkage and bye bye noise....take a look .
Or seeing as how you just acquired this unit ....send it back to Crosman. Let them fix it.
Good luck,
Petey

Nope, that's too much of a hassle and it shoots fine.

I use a touch of moly on the piston and seal when assembled after a tune, oil/moly mix on moving joints. Nothing else till the seal wears out, 3k later and still within 10fps of after-tune break-in fps. No lube added since tune.

... a thorough cleaning with brake clean
... a good debur, hone, and sanding of piston
... another thorough cleaning
... macarri moly on first & last inch of piston ends & sides of seal
... superlube grease on shotgun bore mop spread very sparingly up the tube to compression chamber
... jb bore paste & bronze brush to scrub the bore
... a good flushing of the barrel with remoil or googone followed by lots of dry patches

The above has yielded amazing results in my Crosman NP guns.

Thanks for the help guys!

... i should clarify. With the gas ram itself I do nothing except clean it, score it with 400 just to hold some lube, and spread a little moly over the areas where it rubs on the inside of the piston.
