The chamber oil is a necessity. The spring oil may not be needed as Beeman has told you the spring need not be greased ever, unless you replace the spring. I hope you are not tempted to buy that big bottle of silicone oil used by Radio Controlled modelists. It is too thin.   Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 2:19 pm boomer92266 Member Joined: 27 Jul 2013 Posts: 57 dobiman wrote: There are silicone chamber oil and silicone spring oil .

It is too thin. the silicone i was gonna get is at my local hardware store. it says on the bottle pure food grade rated silicone. for reducing friction and lubrication on metal and plastic surfaces and preserving plastic and rubber parts. thanks   Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 5:36 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I wouldn't trust anyhing but RMC oil from pyramydair.com. It's also known as chamber oil. I know it has the right consistency and anti-dieseling formulation. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??
