Airsoft Innov. GBB oil
 

Is the GBB oil that comes with the airsoft innovation's propane adapter silicon oil and I would be able to lube my gun?

Yes.

Thanks for the quick response!

The AI Propane adapter oil is lightweight and good for lubricating o-rings and other small/lightweight moving parts.
For heavier parts, like the contact points between a pistols slide and frame, or the bolt in a GBB rifle, you would be better off with a heavier weight of silicone oil (basically heavier weights are more viscous, also known as AI Tornado grenade oil) or white grease.

Just to add to ap, I would like to vouch for permatex synthetic lube. You can find the stuff at crappy tire for about 6 bucks, and it is great for things like the rails on a pistol or anything that has metal to metal contact. Its also safe for plastics. However I wouldnt use it for blowback chambers, but a thin coat in a guns trigger group works like a charm.

Seeing as we're talking about lube, I gotta recommend SuperLube. MULTIpurpose lubricant with PTFE... great more any moving parts ; D

Damn I love talking about Superlube lol

Viscosity is the ability of a substance to flow, so grease is less viscous, not more.


On another note, I find that graphite lube is awesome for GBB slides.

lol. viscosity is the resistance to flow.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

reading's fun. try it some time?

I think you should read more into that ....
"In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity)"

What would be best for lubing the internals on an assault rifle?

AEG or GBBR?

Thats the stuff I was talking about :D

GBBR

Wow, how did I bonehead that one - obviously I'm up too late, time to go lights off lol. Thx for the catch.

If its metal on metal contact the superlube we are talking about works great. Silicone oil works too but I found that it doesnt stay on as long as the lube. It can run off or be flung off with a few mag dumps.

I had a WE g36 and after 5 mag dumps a lot of the silicone oil had come off.

The permatex lube (thats what I called white grease) that Jordan mentioned works great. I use it on my SCAR and it stays there for a while. Used to use it for my pistols too, until I tried Illusions dry-lube method, which seemed to be easier to maintain.

Can you explain the dry lube method please? I havent heard that before.

Oh and the permatex stuff I was talking about is the clear stuff that comes in the the bigger 85gram bottle. They have that and the white stuff as well as a graphite lube but im not sure about that one.

Yeah, Im standing at Crappy Tire and all I can find is Jigaloo White Lithium Super Grease and MotoMaster Silicone Lube.
Would either work fine for GBBP

Go to the auto section!! Permatex super lube in 85g bottle. If they only have the one listed as motor sport, that works fine as well.

white grease is not the same as the Permatex Ultra Slick Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease

White grease : http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

Please don't confuse the two.

Thanks for the links
Turns out they don't have any in stock, thats why I spent 20min combing the isles for it. Doesn't help that none of the staff knew what it was or where it would be, only after showing them the link did they clue in *hurp durp*

I've always found it in the automotive section

Some canadian tire stores have a pretty sad auto section (strange for a store with tire in your name). I havent been able to find anything other than the motosport lube. Same stuff but smells a bit stronger.

Sorry to bump a super old thread but I gotta ask. I too have Permatex Ultra Slick Multi Grease in the squeeze tube and right on the back it says safe for metal, plastic, rubber, wood etc. It also states in bold that it has Petroleum in it. Now everyone says that petroleum eats rubber and plastic and I agree. Now how is this product safe for rubber o rings and plastic if it has petroleum in it? I just dont understand how they say its safe for all these parts if it indeed has petroleum. Can you shed light on this and do you know anyone else that actually uses this as a gear grease? Thanks

White Lithium grease mixed with fine graphite powder applied to metal on metal contact points. Work the action for a while and then remove all of the excess.

I did it to my pistols for about half an hour each.

The way Brian had explained it, the white lithium is just used as a carrier for the fine graphite to work it's way into all of the pits in the metal without being too messy. Benefit is that there is no residual "wet" lube to pick up any dust, dirt or grime, pretty much eliminating the need to further lubricate metal on metal contact points.

The white lithium can be obtained at a Home Hardware in a tub as opposed to a spray and the fine graphite should be obtainable at any hardware store near the lock/key making section. YMMV
