Your gun, your project. You asked the question and recieved recommendations from a few guys here who collectively own and/or been inside probably a couple hundred of these things though. Its your choice what to do with that information.It doesn't drip if you use it properly, it's not like I'm suggesting you open the cap and pour it in LOL
I happen to like candy corns and black licorice .............................. so there (sticking tongue out and making a low farting noise )Your gun, your project.

On that note I'm done with this part of the thread. Can we get back to talking about the stuff that matters like terrible candy?
Any candy corn fans here? I actually don't hate those things despite all the negative press they get. Infinitely better than black licorice.
Where do you stand on Swedish Fish? I can do a handful maybe but after that they get to be a bit muchI happen to like candy corns and black licorice .............................. so there (sticking tongue out and making a low farting noise )
That and when in Germany the gummy bears there were good.. back in the 80's -/+ ? man I'm getting old..Where do you stand on Swedish Fish? I can do a handful maybe but after that they get to be a bit much
liked the red "silver dollars" fish not so much even though they were the same candy .Where do you stand on Swedish Fish? I can do a handful maybe but after that they get to be a bit much
Whatever dude. Do as you will, even if it's wrong. I don't care what you do. You already know everything. I'm done here. I only wanted to explain things for those willing to listen logical reason. Best of luck to you Grandma.I doubt a company that offers lifetime warranties for their rifles is going to sell AND recommend a product that will cause damage. The Mobil transmission fluid should be at least as good as the RWS/Umarex product and it's not going to cause any damage. You can attempt to speak from a position of authority if you choose but you're making this into a problem that doesn't exist and my experiences have nothing to do with luck. I never said it was the best way of lubricating a mainspring, but you imply it's wrong which isn't true. I find it insulting you felt the need to "warn" new shooters about this thread and there is nothing in Mobil transmission fluid that's going to harm a spring piston air rifle in spite of your subjective opinions. A few drops on the spring and spray with an air compressor and you'll have a perfectly lubricated action tube and mainspring, I've done this with my rifle for 23 years and the insides look perfect. I will do as I please with or without your permission.
How exactly is this going to ruin someone's gun? Explain to me how putting a few drops of spring oil or automatic transmission fluid on a mainspring is going to "ruin an air rifle? Talk about ridiculous LMAO!some person is going to do this and ruin his gun that maybe took a year of mowing lawns to get . 4 pages ridiculous .
So you just had to join the chickens in the chicken yard to peck at the odd chicken huh? You've added nothing positive to this conversation and your post shows what kind of a person you are BrilliantSince we're throwing it all out there, how about Vick's VapoRub, Vaseline, KY Jelly, and Astroglide? Asking for a friend.
Brilliant enough to use the proper product in the proper place.So you just had to join the chickens in the chicken yard to peck at the odd chicken huh? You've added nothing positive to this conversation and your post shows what kind of a person you are Brilliant
I am using the proper product, the company that MADE my rifle sells it and recommends it LMAO The transmission fluid I mentioned is just an alternative to a $14.00 one ounce bottle of a repackaged automotive lubricant. Thanks for the condescending attitude and you know what you can do with your KY jellyBrilliant enough to use the proper product in the proper place.
No you're just interested in being an antagonistic jerkI did not say that you did and I am not interested in arguing with you. Have a good one and good luck!
I bet you guys are a barrel of laughs at the Christmas party...No, thank you. I just use lubes from ARH. No greasy kid stuff.
