What would you suggest for gun lubricant? Still have yet to buy it.
Edit: Trying to meet up with dutch tonight at XT to get verified. I really do appreciate all the help people are giving me. I know I am am stubborn and as noob as possible. I'm glad people can put up with me  |
You want pure silicone oil, which will probably be shock oil for rc cars (pure silicone). If you get one that is aerosol, you want something without any petroleum distillates (propellant). One that I can confirm is Dupont Teflon Silicone Lubricant, which is what I use on my guns, but every silicone oil spray I found at Walmart (I'd assume basically the same as Canadian Tire) was bad. IF you do it right, you can use this, but if you get it on any rubber component (hopup, o-rings, etc etc) it will begin breaking them down (more brittle, more prone to failure etc etc).
First thing I would do is get some .22 cleaning cloths, and use the unjamming rod, stick the cleaning cloth in the looped side. Spray some silicone oil down the barrel, and "twist" the rod through and back out. Repeat until the cloth comes out dry and clean.
Second possibility is that the hopup is on too high, or there is something wrong (nub or bucking), which you should check out.
Third, which I haven't experienced personally, is the air nozzle. I'm not sure how this one works, but I know it can cause jams.
Fourth cause is possibly the magazine, so if you can find someone else's to use, you can rule that out.
Fifth is using crappy bb's. Try some BBBastards, as that is probably the best you can do in Canada, without looking too far. Most people on this forum use those so it shouldn't be too hard.
(Sixth) Check the fps on the chrono. Never heard of this happening, but if there is something seriously wrong with the gearbox, there might not be enough pressure to push the bb out, but the air nozzle will keep pushing more and more bb's through the bucking mound, and you'll might get jammed up a bit.
