With the wide range of lubricants out there, what's best? My background is mostly high powered rifles. I have done quite a bit of gunsmithing in the past and therefore understand the importance of using the right tool for the task. Where most gun oils are designed for high heat, pressure, and a long list of corrosives, most of these elements are missing from a paintball marker. Also, the fundamental building blocks of the marker are totaly different(aluminum and plastics instead of steel and wood). So, what do ya'll think?

thanks

There is paintball specific lubriacation manufactured by a few companies.

You can find it online or at your proshop.

its mostly the same all around i think. i use gold cup or whatever it is (found it under my bed) lol.

[b2k guy]

the gold cup will work for most markers. unless it has derlin bolt.. ... but dont use regular gun oil...

[DJS2]

differes from marker to marker, dow33/55, slick honey, ect.

[Sh00t em Up]

dow 33 = smart parts shocker/ ion lube

if you have a lower end gun just get oil like gold cup or java.

With a low end blowback you can get by on hoppes (sp) which I'm sure you know of with a backround in firearms. When I first started playing outlawball thats all we ever used on our spyders. As far as viscocity goes its pretty close to the pmi oil I use. I never had a problem using it on our spyders, but if it will cause problems then someone please enlighten me. Im curious.

gun oil is bad on the o-rings.....

what do you use to lube delirin? or do you just let it "auto-lube" or whatever it does?

You don't need to lube delrin. Just o-rings.

for regulators and higher-end guns you should usaully use a grease like dow 33, dow 55, or slick honey. For blowback guns, cockers, and some other misc guns you should use oil like gold cup lube. It all depends on the gun and what part of that gun your using(ie: with an ego you lube the bolt's o-rings and the rammer with gold cup but the regs with dow33).

Or Empire Oil, dam that stuffs expensive. $8 for a little shot of it. But hey..it's mighty good.
