WD40 with PTFE or Abbey ?

[mikehill]

Just need something to keep my HW40 and FAS604 oiled. I have standard Abbey airgun oil, and the 3 in 1 with PTFE. Which would be OK to use on the piston to keep the seals from drying out ?
Thanks, Mike.

Neither.

Neither.

Which then ?

Ooops my fault 3 in 1 with PTFE or Abbey Oil ?

Still neither.

Both are SSP pistols, therefore I'd never use a mineral based oil.

I'd much rather order a tube of Pellgunoil, and use nothing until the Pelgunoil arrived (from JSR).

That's what I use on SSPs, pumpers, and CO2 guns. It seems to work.

none of them....you need to use crosman pellgun oil designed for O rings....John Knibbs or Dai do it

Yup. I was responding to a post recommending Pellgunoil, agreeing with the recommendation.

That should last you a while.

I'm using it right now, on the Co2 capsule seal of a boxed "Tanfoglio Limited Custom" that a friend gave me (yes GAVE me, out of the blue! ), on Friday.

Here's a tip - I'm using a spent (pierced) Co2 cap' with a drop of Pellgunoil on the end of it, to lube up the seal - rather than fiddling around with a cotton bud, or just relying on a drop on a new Co2 cap doing the job.

For an SSP, I'd only use the Pellgunoil on seals, o rings, pump head, that kind of thing. With my Izzy, after 500 shots I put a few drops down the TP, and a few drops on the pump head.

For pivots, linkages, triggers, wiping over with a slightly oily rag - I use reg'lar thin gun oil.

So Abbey should be OK for everything else ?

Yes, I'd say so.
