TDQ Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Hi..... can anyone recommend a good oil and supplier for gbb pistol.Have been reading various inputs from type to weight etc. Another comment was its not necessary to buy from an airsoft shop as over priced.....
Sacarathe Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Abbey 100% Silicone. Lubricant - not oil. EDIT: Take note of the post below this one. cropzy 1
Root Admin proffrink Posted January 7, 2016 Root Admin Posted January 7, 2016 Well you say that but they label it as 'Abbey Silicone gun oil' - it's 100% silicone though, so it's cool. Just slightly misleading name I guess. To OP: Just to put your mind at ease, whilst Abbey is kind of tailored towards airsoft players and pellet gun enthusiasts, it is good stuff. The problem with grabbing some from a hardware shop is most have additives that eat away at the seals in your gun. The Abbey stuff is about £6 a bottle, but that bottle will last you a couple of years so it's not a problem. You can also get spray cans of the low-viscosity silicone oil, but really you don't need to worry about complicating matters with that. Some high-viscosity silicone oil will do the trick in 99% of cases. Sacarathe and cropzy 2

Mr Monkey Nuts Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Ghk oil, it's more expensive than abbey, but the amount you use will last longer than most guns will. PeteS 1
Root Admin proffrink Posted January 7, 2016 Root Admin Posted January 7, 2016 I have the GHK stuff too and it's identical. Very slightly more viscous but that's all.
Sacarathe Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Remember "There's ALWAYS time for lubricant!" - Harry Block in Evolution (2001) That always stuck with me ... even before I understood it, though I did watch that movie far too many times.
