HW/Weihrauch Lube for the spring.

Put red and tacky in a grease gun and it will quickly drip everywhere uncontrolled. Poor choice.

Everywhere in our world that shoots pellets in springers, say to use Black Moly Grease....I bought a tube of this from Amazon several years ago, used in 20-105 degrees and never a drop outside of where it was put...springs, piston, etc. in both my beautiful RSW Diana 48 and HW97k springers....smooth, quiet actions, easy cock, powerful.....can't say enough positive things about this product. Look up the specs on Amazon!
  • Retains grease-like consistency during periods of severe mechanical action
  • High dropping point of +500°

Schaeffer Manufacturing Co. 02742-029S Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease, NLGI #2, 14 oz.​

Thanks for reply I live in Tucson Arizona , one of the hottest places in the world Lol , and don't need need lube leaking out. When I younger we kept a oven thermometer in some of the cars with black interiors , and they reached 250+. Very dangerous temps
Literally melting the dash.

Olvet.. i forgot about this stuff tucked away in my favorites. 70% moly 5$ a oz. Vs. 15$ for .05 oz air gun store stuff

Sadly you have to buy company direct in the usa i believe but easy ti get i outside the usa ..lol.

Notice this moly stuff is readly available everywhere but the usa .. ? G0D bless America..
I did some research, and found that
Diana uses a black Moly type , but there is no exact formula as to what it is this is just what others have found in them from the Diana models they have taken apart. I've yet to call Diana to see what they recommend , but I will.
I will begin a Weihrauch study today to see what they use if possible as it seems they are the industry leader , and call them too

Well i was just going to use nonmetallic anti seize and powered moly dust and just my own mix a high content moloy to lube (70% worth moly dust) . All affordable and easy to get off amazon

Ya, you see blue , black , grayish .. ??? ..

I used this and that but im using common everyday copper antiseize / Beeman lazer lube . In the end you just do the one you feel you like stick it in and see . Youll keep using it or try somthing else nextime ..lol

Hw ? .. most buy a new hw and strip it down and clean out the factory mess and go back with something properly... lol

I would not know about tearing down a new one , but could learn ? Do you think there are those that would use for 10 years first. What is the factory mess metal debree, lube , ect. I had a brand new Zelos stop working because of factory metal shavings caught up in the reg , and I did not know what I was doing , and ended up destroying the receiver , the bright side ( if there is one) lol I learned a lot , and now I have a complete set of spare parts for my second one. I have not used the new barrel yet still running the old one as it was already broke in more better.
 
As many shots i take the spring dont last . Like twisting a wire is bound to snap and the more you cock ot the faster it goes.. spring quality gives some mileage but ...lol this " latest " ARH hornet spring i got in now ivr gone longer on it then past springs. The 2 prior hornet springs i got 8 months then a year to the week installed ..

Even knowing the spring broke my gun was still shooting dead nutts on just at a reduced fps . Do i do wonder how many shoot a broken spring in a hw and not realize it cause its still shooting well.

Have you ever tried a gas piston. I been looking at the Diana Mauser N Tec.

No just hatsan( fail ) and gamo ( been fine ). The hw too much support stuff yo maintain or tune ( shock pump, fill fittings and gauge the fit it ) see here


and no crosman gun.
The hatsans were gifted and did ok till they went flat. The gamo after 7 years of use still seem as good. It the one i post here regularly .

Honestly once i got them i figured id just stick with spring overall.

Understood I like the fact that if the N- tec goes flat you can have a backup waiting to put in as Diana sell them as well.

Its ashame Hatsan cant .. .

Fix it its +/- $60 , buy there ram if they even got it 60$ , buy spring conversation $60 tried to buy referb hatsan with spring 70$ .. lose lose lose every turn .. lol

Im just thinking now just buy pcp pump probe and fix it or keep it pumped up as needed when needed till it just leaks as i pump kinda thing. Just too hot and humid to deal with any of it right now 🥴
