For Those Who Say it Makes it Worse to Oil Folks, there are those who think oiling the pump moving parts makes it harder to operate. That has never happened to me with the RIGHT pump gun lube. The video shows a squeeze bottle with 30 weight mineral oil. ⚠️The air pressure will pick up and RESIST you more IF your gun is under lubed (which means underpowered).⚠️ Your 760 doesn't get harder to use when you use 30 weight ND oil. Using other lubes - INCLUDING SILICONE - is not the same thing for the grinding parts in a pump gun. My pump guns - especially CROSMAN - only get easier to operate with good quality non- detergent mineral oil. Many old timers swear by it. www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/pure-guard/pure-guard-compressor-oil-4-quart/pgd0/ac18
I haven’t had an issue with a 760 but I have once or twice over lubed my pump cup on a highly modified 1322. If I get a little too much up in the check valve of the air valve, then it will leak down. My air valve has lighter than stock spring, so light oiling works better so it doesn’t get sticky. Plus I hang the gun barrel down, when not in use, to keep oil from running back into the air valve. I also keep 1-2 residual pumps in the air valve to keep dirt out when in storage.
This is an old post but your comment show up on google. I just did the same thing to my highly modified 1377 with RP valve, wider transfer port, longer spring etc. the gun was shooting soft for days because I put to Much oil until I disassembled and cleaned the tube. Do I have too remove the valve and clean the inside too? There was a bunch of gunk sitting on top of the valve out I used a long q tip and cleaned it without removing it from the main tube. The gun shoots hard at 15 pumps, but I wonder if I should do something else. Thank you.
Alex, I'm happy to meet another M-4 brother! I was excited when that Super 760 came out. I used it successfully in a night hunt. I had to keep taking off the flashlight to pump it, but after 3 shots, with Crosman Point 7.4, I got the rabbit. I did switch night hunting duties to the Bushmaster - with its better rail set up - and had success with only 2 shots on 7 pumps against a VERY large rabbit. Please know that whether it is the M-4 or standard 760, using the RIGHT LUBE, 30 ND, in your pump parts will cause it to be SLIGHTLY harder to pump, if it needed lube. Shooters get upset because the gun is harder to pump. BUT IT IS RUNNING AT FULL POWER. Please check my library for my Legacy pump pointers. That covers your M-4, too. And read the important info in the comments to avoid the wrong products.
Juuuuuust the vid i needed for this little varmint toy 👍🇺🇸 Pressure was fine but F some dry medal on medal pumpin it up Gun oil was all i had though 🤷 Preesh
Try to switch to 30 ND and a squeeze bottle. The firearm oil can wreck your pump cup. No pump cup, no 760. Firearm oil on the joints can run down the pump tube. www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Painting-Supplies/Palettes-Tools/Squeeze-Bottles/p/57415 www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/pure-guard/pure-guard-compressor-oil-4-quart/pgd0/ac18 Also, the big jug can be used for general lube around the house: Sliding door rails Lawn mower parts Garage door axels and joints. On the garage door, folks think to oil the wheels, but lubed wheel AXELS (wheels and door hinges) do more to make the door easier to move.
Try getting compressor oil - nearly engineered for a pump gun. www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/pure-guard/pure-guard-compressor-oil-4-quart/pgd0/ac18 WD-40 is mostly a cleaner and rust guard. Its lube aspects are not good enough for pump guns.
I chrony tested my 1377 after my last summer video thinking it might be an issue and it was doing 468fps @10pumps {It is detuned for kenada} *A bit of oil on the pump cup and it was back at 488fps!* Pretty big difference for a few drops of oil.
Ok, check list: ▶️Run a rod down your barrel to make sure you don't have BB or pellet jam. Cock the bolt back and run rod. Hit hard. Don't pump before this. ▶️Have you been over pumping? Don't do that. Stop at 7 pumps. ▶️ Ignore the guy out there who pumps 100 times.
You should be fine. Compressor oil or 30 ND is better TAILORED for your pump gun. Your 1377 does not NEED the detergents in standard motor oil. You should be OK. Every 250 shots for Crosman guns.
@@daisy880fanaticfixit9 Thank you for the quick reply. I will buy the 30 ND very cheap, just wondering since I have 5W20 for my car, but no problem. Another question, can the same oil be used to clean the metal surfaces to protect from rust?
Good question! I ask you to explore Ballistol. With my multi-pumps, I use 30 ND for the pump seal, and THEN Ballistol to wipe down the weapon. Ballistol is white mineral oil that does dry to a bright shine. ballistol.com/pages/about 30 ND will work for wipe down, but it can cause black build-up and remain oily to the touch unless you wipe it completely dry.

I always oil the pump when I get a new pump airgun you don't know how long it has sat on the shelf.
I have a Crosman M4-177 but the internals are the same, this is very helpful. Thank you!

I used w40, it became harder to pump, maybe you have an idea on how to remove the stickines on the pump?

You will want these for that jug of oil:

Cool. Let me know how it goes.
Please don't reuse BBs or pellets. That causes breech jam in the 880. The air can't push the BB.
Can I use 5W-20 synthetic oil on the pump of my Crosman 1377?
