Lubeing guns.
29 April, 2009, 17:51
Right, ive managed to get some silicone oil, and Ive soaked by l96 bolt in it:D (not literally.)
But was wondering where I could apply some in my mp5, if anywhere. Also, my socom, is there any need? Its non-blowback, so no lube is needed in the slide rails. And the gas lubes in the internalls anyway, so is there anywhere I should apply it?
Cheers.

In the socom trigger mech and anything rubber.
In the mp5, the hop rubber, and the "O" ring. Don't put any on the gears, silicone isn't a metal-to-metal lubricant.

Re: Lubeing guns.

Re: Lubeing guns.
yes. Once spray..ones oil! :D I think spray is more diluted, oil sticks better. I found spray much much easier to apply.

Re: Lubeing guns.
as ive just read what youve done to your bolt, i must stress the point kos made at the end of his post.
silicone based lubricant must under no circumstances be used to lubricate any metal to metal components as it actually increases wear if used, use on plastics only

Re: Lubeing guns.
On my socom i take the top slide off and just coat everything i can see in spray. This will not do any harm to the gun if you think you have sprayed too much. It will make a much smoother trigger pull and is very noticeable.
Hope that helps

Re: Lubeing guns.
if your bolt is metal to metal then castrol lm grease is good ,or for a dryish lube that wont pick up dust then dry slide or molybenum base lube.
any gun shop will supply these just tell them its for metal to metal contact

I put a thin layer of gearse on the outside of my BAR-10 bolt, AFTER cleaning it thouroughly.
On the inside, silicone spray the O ring, and lightly grease the inside of the cylinder, the inside of the piston, and the spring guide.

No idea. But, always play on the safe side, use lithium grease.

Re: Lubeing guns.
Kind of. More like, some corrode rubber, some dont. WD-40, for instance, will eat everything made of rubber. Not good in any airsoft gun.
