Bowket tells me that he has been using and recommending the use of Abbey SM50 or Bisley Gun Lubricant since the 1980's. He advised their every now and then use in the hundreds of Sharp pumper conversions, his thousands of springer conversions and the pcps/CO2s he has both made and those based on his designs. He has never had any reason to advise against its use providing the small bottles are well shaken before use
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. He advised BSA to use it during assembly first on the SuperTen and then all the other BSA pcps based on his designs. Before that in the late 1980's he used it during assembly of the Titan JB1, Manitou and Mohawk for Titan Developments Ltd.
When he carried out springer conversions he advised against the use of Abbey 35 as it was not suitable for metal to metal where Abbey SM50 was ideal for both metal to metal and seals. Lubricant never staying where you want it to.
These facts came from from someone with over 30 years practical experience of using the product not just after a bit of googling or wikipaedia searching
