birdman99 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Has anyone had any experiences with pellet lube?f does this stuff really do what it says on the tin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I tried it when I had my fx2000, and to be honest, I thought it was ****. It made the gun innacurate for some reason and it started to diesel after a fair bit of use. Not worth the money in my opinion but there may be others with a different point of view.

peek-at Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I have always used napier pellet lube in my rifles and have never had any problems with 'dieseling' or inaccuracy. Use it sparingly with only about 4 drops in a new box of pellets (250) and it will last for ages. Some folk will scrupulously clean their pellets prior to doing this but I dont. I'm sure you will get varying opinions but the best thing is just try it. (the stuff is cheap enough) H.N.Y ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 take care as it can put you over the 12lb limit. check and double check these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveieP Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 To cause dieseling, you need a blob of lube in the back of the pellet. If applied correctly that won't be a problem. I use Lubro-teknik, costs more than the Napier lube but you get about 5x as much Comes in a handy atomiser spay. Easiest way to use is tip a full can of pellets into a re-sealable food bag, couple of quick sprays, seal the bag & roll 'em around for an even coating. I'm not going to say it improves accuracy, but it does help keep your barrel clean. Also if you're going to have a can of pellets open for a while, it helps prevent oxidisation.

Colster Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Personally I found it a waste of time, it caused my springer to diesel occasionally and to be honest the only lube you need in an air gun barrel is the lead dust that is already on the pellets, cleaning it off is a waste of time and detrimental.

john2 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 take care as it can put you over the 12lb limit. check and double check these things. I can't see how this would happen. I have used it on four air rifles and tested with crono FPS this never increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron airgunner Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 i use light oil or napier to lube my pellets. first you put your pellets in a small plastic container with lid (something like those plastic boxes you get from take-aways) and put a 3 small drops of lube on the lid. then quickly put on the lid and turn the box upside down. roll the pellets around in the oilfor a long time makeing sure all of them get covered in a thin film of lube. don't put the lube directly on the pellets or you'll end up with clogged up skirts.

Sqwelchy Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Dont waste your time with it. I think in time the lead "lubes" the barrel. Please correct me if im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right, lead is all your barrel needs, don't oil it and don't clean it unless you can see visible "gunk" in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
