Thanking you, font of all knowledge

You're welcome, and lucky, I'm usually on here being sarcastic.

Fully agree with all the Pellgun recommendations and great to see you've ordered some, Mike.


Careful with wiping down the exterior of the '75 with an oily rag.....I think Clarky and one or two others have mentioned in the past that, over a period of time, the oil will spoil the exterior finish? No personal experience of this, but I think I'd be heeding that advice and someone will be along to elaborate. I assume the finish of the '45 is the same, so I don't use any types of oil on the exterior finish.

What exactly is pellgun oil?

I've heard to you can get the equivalent in car parts and maintenance shops.

But I'm not sure which product it is?

Some people think it's basically automatic transmission fluid. Which you can get a lot cheaper in bulk than buying Pellgunoil.

I don't much care: it's not exactly the most expensive aspect of this hobby. One tube goes a long way.

Exactly as above.

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.

I would stay away from PTFE if I were you. Just usea small amount of Ballistol if and when required.

Thanks.

I would agree with geezer....a tube of Pellgun is only a fiver....will last a good while and convenient dropper. There is also some mention of a secretive additive to what could be just transmition oil ....but nobody knows what this is. Its suggesting you go with the Pellgun which has been tried and tested since the 90s with no ill effects.

I use the non- silicone version of this of shotguns.
