    Which Silicone Oil

    I seen it recommended that you use a drop of silicone on a CO2 bulb to keep the seals in CO2 pistols in good condition.

    Can I just use Abbey 35 or should I use one made by the Co2 Pistol manufacturers?

    That depends which pistol you're talking about.
    For most single shot pistold nearly anything will do, for the Umarex range the oil will end up on the mag & mechanism so you'll need to use a gun oil on the moving parts as silicone oil is worse than useless where metal meets metal and will promote wear,

    Get yourself a tube of pelgun oil - can't go wrong with it, its not silicone but works a treat in all co2 guns I own

    Or you can use the occasional Crosman co2 capsule as they have lube in them which I guess is Pellgun oil.
    Im not a fan of adding much lube to any airgun.
    Everytime I try and be like like Nick ( who knows what he is doing ) I end up at least covered in oil and at worst with a detonating HW 45.

    Little and not often for me.--obvious joke.
