N/A springer grease ?

[Chuck-in-Ohio]

Beeman used to sell “Spring Gel” which was a red, somewhat tacky grease. Probably very similar to this. I still have a container of it somewhere. When I sent my R10 to Beeman for a Supertune, they loaded it to the hilt with this stuff. It was very smooth and cocked like butter. Unfortunately after a little while it started dieseling. When i took the gun apart, the grease had migrated all over the place. Not sure why they used so much grease.

They crammed it full so that it cocked like butter and would address the twang.
A quick fix at best as you found out.

The crazy thing is they must have spent a fair amount of time on this “super tune”. The piston was honed and nickel plated and is probably the best looking HW piston I have seen. Additionally they ground/polished the spring guide, and re-contoured the piston seal. And added screw cups to the hex head screws I was using in the fore end. So they definitely put some work into it. For some reason Beeman was never able to figure out that a correct fitting spring guide is the way to reduce twang (as evidenced by their Lazer kit).

In any event it still cocks like buttah and has zero twang thanks to a correctly fitted guide which I subsequently installed
