That's a good point, it is very good on polymer and anywhere that you find rubber o rings. So a very useful oil for modern pcp rifles. White lithium grease or pellgun is good on metal to metal. That might be another video. 👍
Hi there! Thank you for your explanatory video. Beeswax on the wood is a great idea. Do you think Carnauba wax may work as well? The best for metal to metal contact/friction in my opinion is molybdenum grease. Cheers!!
Hi, carnauba wax is brilliant but has a much higher melting point than beeswax. So it's a bit more complicated to make a blend. It will impart a tough, long lasting shine. Moly grease is the way to go on metal to metal or even lithium grease. 👍
thank you for the video sir. so silicone for inside the barrel/magazine.. balistol for non-woodwork?.. I have an umarex air-rifle. Not used it much in past 2-3 years and not cleaned it. Any recco's - appreciated. chrs
Great video, I found it very interesting. Do you have any tips on keeping synthetic stocks looking good? I’ve just got a used BSA R10 SE with the black tactical stock and would like to know what’s the best way of keeping it clean. Is it just a damp cloth job? Thank you.
Hi, polymer stocks are really easy. I just put a little bit of silicon oil (pure silicon) on a dry cloth and rub it well in. Don't over do it and stay clear of the trigger blade. That will polish and protect it. I have a gamo phox that lives outdoor most of the time and it looks like new. 👍
Hi, Pelgun oil is always a safe bet. A drop of silicon oil will do at a pinch. You'll see lots of folks talking about transmission oil and various detergent free motor oils. That's not a risk I would take.
Have a Benjamin model 347 from the late 80s. Use Ballistol on it as I’ve used this product as you have for quite some time. What precaution should be taken if using 100% silicone treadmill lubricant around the piston where the O-rings are? Would like to avoid going up metal parts. Thanks so much appreciate your great content. excellent video with equally wonderful ideas!
Hi, thanks for your comment. Tbh a little bit of silicon oil on the metal won't do any harm, as long as those surfaces are already lubricated. My dad had a Benjamin back in the 80's and only ever used silicon oil on it. It was still working 15 years later. I think my brother ended up with it. Also when oiling air guns less is best.
Hi, Yep, it will do. White petroleum oil or plain silicon oil is fine. White petroleum is better for metal to metal lubrication. It's really the stuff with solvents you need to avoid.
Just a thought, vegatable oil has a flash point of over 600 degrees farenhieght, the same as silicone oil, safe for o-rings, and lubricates metal on metal better than silicone oil. Way cheaper than silicone oil, or chamber lube too.🤔
That's true but it does support bacterial growth. So it goes mouldy. It can also be sticky. I think Grape seed or almond oil could be best. If you blend a little alcohol it prolongs the life. Have you tried it yourself?
Only for my diesel van. Most nut and seed oils are good industrial lubricants. They can be a bit sticky, wax at cold temperatures, and go rancid. Why people eat the stuff I'll never know. 😁.
Please provide some science for that claim. I've never heard or seen any evidence for that being true. The only thing that is important is do not use petroleum based oils/lubes on synthetic o-rings as they will shrink.
I almost got some threadmill oil but I got some superlube instead Interesting wax\paste! [Day 4; I finaly got out of bed..now I hate bill-21 and covi-19 😅]
I know it's the worst cold in the world. They are saying the government here are bringing back restrictions, as soon as they find a leader and appoint some ministers. Unless it all goes away before then
@@RealAirgunAdventures they did start talking about it here too! Im just glad I did my pewpew class while I could... [I am not any sicker than people who got 3-4 of their fraudulous shots...]
@@LowkeyAirgunner funny that, everyone I know that took the shots has been ill. Life is all about timing and taking opportunities when they are there. Blink and you'll miss it 😁
Very true, there is no mention of flash points. I'm only really talking about silicon and balastol. I do touch on the things not to use. Thanks for watching and your comment. Maybe I'll make an updated video, This one is getting on now. By the way, don't apologise for not liking lt. Everyone has an opinion, and I'm happy to see it. Most people have a sensible attitude, and RUclips filters out the that don't.

How have I never seen your video?
Fantastic tips. Thank you 🙏👍
Glad you found it useful. I've got some more tips and tricks videos planned, so check back occasionally. 👍

Is it a springer? 👍

What to put around where co2 cartridges go in

Sorry dictation put going up. Said gumming up metal parts.

Watching this I believe any light clear oil can do the job I use oil that’s supposedly for my fishing reel it works just the same

@@RealAirgunAdventures yes, I've used vegetable oil for years on an old daisy 880 I had.
@@NorthFloridaAirGunner That an interesting idea, I'll have a go at that. What oil is that you use or I'd it just generic vegetable oil?
@@RealAirgunAdventures just whatever veg oil happened to be in the kitchen.
@@NorthFloridaAirGunner thanks, also are you in the UK? Just wondering about the climate.
Have you ever tried cooking oil?
Only for my diesel van. Most nut and seed oils are good industrial lubricants. They can be a bit sticky, wax at cold temperatures, and go rancid. Why people eat the stuff I'll never know. 😁.
Why not use air tool oil? A BB gun is an air tool ?
Why not indeed. We have preferences and make discoveries 👍
DO NOT use silicon oil between 2 metal surfaces, it binds them completely.
Pure Silicone oil is THE MOST SLIPPERY oil there is in use these days. How would it bind metal parts ?
Please provide some science for that claim. I've never heard or seen any evidence for that being true. The only thing that is important is do not use petroleum based oils/lubes on synthetic o-rings as they will shrink.
This is a how to lubricate springers, also not to use silicone grease and oil.

We're not cleaning the stocks with it We're cleaning the barrel.
Stick with Ballistol, damn good stuff. 👍
@@RealAirgunAdventures yup. Just rubbed my whole gun down in ballistol. AEA Challenger standard ls
@@drywallman1986 Those are nice guns, friend of mine has one. 👍
I almost got some threadmill oil but I got some superlube instead
Interesting wax\paste!

This tells people absolutely Nothing,
Not a mention of high flash point oils?
A totally useless video
