Break barrel Lube

Rex in OTZ · 05-13-2008, 03:22 PM

I wanted to know what you fells use for lube on your break barrels.

andrew cochran · 05-14-2008, 10:56 AM

You can use 3 in one

But you really don't need lube.

Slick 50 used sparingly.

andrew cochran · 05-14-2008, 11:02 AM

Yep Slick 50 seems to do a great job.

Rex in OTZ · 05-23-2008, 01:24 PM

What would ya use on Dasey Red Rider?

andrew cochran · 05-30-2008, 09:56 AM

I don't think it needs nothing. But like said befor slick 50 or 3 in one. But it ain't nessary in a red ryder as far as I know.

If you own a break barrel that's of quality I'd recommend air gun products because it will not detonate. Some oils will cause an internal explosion resulting in erratic pellet fps which in turn results in erratic accuracy. The rule of thumb is to not lubricate unless you hear squeaking which will be caused by dryness. Too much lube is not good.

I heard that to shoot and have a little tannish haze out the barrel, re-lubeing every 300-350 rounds
I had a 1960's benjamin, and a late 1970's crosman that I would like to nurse along

Aren't those guns multiple pneumatic pumps instead of break barrels?

Rex in OTZ · 06-09-2008, 02:08 PM

Yes they are!

andrew cochran · 07-01-2008, 01:19 PM

In a manuel I had for an airgun I bought about 4 years ago it says Slick 50 for lube. Shoot er a few times to get excess lube out and yer set for a few hundred rounds. Cleaning isn't really nessary with airguns. But if you do some of those pellets that clean are good.
