Grease For CO2 Pistols???

[chris u'5]

Hello guys,

I'm new to the World of CO2 pistols and I have noticed that both my guns came with some grease around the hammer area, trigger etc...can anyone tell me what type of grease it is likely to be or can anyone recommend one suitable for the job please?

Many thanks for the help.

A good moly based grease will do the job, I use abbey LT2 moly grease, bisley moly gun grease would also me fine, moly based grease I perfect for metal on metal, springs and moving parts..

Do not use a silicone based grease on metal to metal parts.. Only use silicone on things like rubber seals..

ATB, marc..

Thank you very much for your help. I was thinking about trying Abbey LT2 so it's good to have it confirmed that it's suitable.

Cheers.

I wouldn't use grease in areas that are open to dirt & grit.

For triggers, hammers, slide rails etc - I'd use gun oil. Because it's thin, and tends to wash grit away rather than picking it up and using it like grinding paste.

Grease is best used in captive areas... that's my opinion anyway

I'd go along with that....not sure why some manufactures slop grease all over.

Then there are some that build guns with some weird white grease inside...often not even on the working parts In such cases oil solved the problem of excess friction. Moly grease worked equally well in the enclosed area.
