I haven't had Beeman chamber lube (the kind with the suspended graphite) for about 20 years. The gun shoots fine, but is getting a bit squeaky if you run the cylinder up and down in the compression cylinder.
Would Slick 50 with PTFE be okay to use?
SPARINGLY?
Thanks in advance. |

| Slick 50 isn't much of a lube, and it's petroleum based- not good to use on a springer. Get some silicone lube- either the Crosman Silicone Chamber Oil or even try some of the auto-store stuff in a spray can. |

Hadn't thought of silicone. That sounds good.
All I remember is that Beeman (either rightly or wrongly) cautioned against using their "regular" chamber oil in the steel ringed FWB pistol.
I surmised it was a gunking up issue.
I'll try the silicone. I'm assuming you mean the dry spray. I think DuPont made some in the past.
I'll go look around.
I do know that they don't need MUCH lube.
That's correct, isn't it?
Thanks for reply.
