    Smile Abbey LT2 substitute.

    Hi fellow tinkerers,

    I am a newbie to the forum so please excuse me if any questions are naieve........

    As a way of reliving my airgunning youth I have bought a secondhand Milbro G27 (cheaply) which is in need of a little TLC. (Why did I sell my BSA Challenger Carbine in my early twenties to fund a beer and chips lifestyle???).

    It shoots but is not very smooth and being relatively "handy" I will give it a strip and apply "old springer tune up" from the forums to gain a smooth consistent rifle (at least compared to my starting point).

    Has anyone stripped one of these rifles before and can therefore offer any tips?

    I have some automotive "Comma LM Grease" can this be substituted for Abbey LT2 in a plinker such as the G27?? Or should I stick to the airgun specific stuff??

    Many thanks in advance, Rich.

    I use Castrol MS3 grease. Its a moly based grease which I used to use years ago for the C.V. joints on my minis (cars ). Sticks like the proverbial to a wet blanket and far cheaper than LT2. Any good car accessory shop should sell it.
