    What's a barrel hinge bolt? I thought it was the "breech block pivot" I was referring to in my OP.

    When you break your barrel, it rotates around a central point. That is either a pin or if better engineered a bolt which allows you to tighten the jaws.
    The breech block is the part the barrel is fixed to and the jaws are at the end of the cylinder where the barrel and breach block fit in-between.
    You will have the best solution, a bolt because Weihrauch do it right.

    Krytox GPL-205

    My new, (2018), HW95L .22 had the seal damaged by dieseling from over oiling/greasing at the Weihrauch factory by using inexperienced folks due to the China Virus. After a through cleaning & polishing I installed an ARH kit with a Vortek seal & lubed with Krytox GPL-205 which eliminated the dieseling. This stuff is expensive but I believe it is worth it as I have not had any problems after several thousand shots. I also use Hoppe's 9 on the pivot joints.

    The important part is to put the correct lube in the correct spot.
    Proper springer lubrication often means three different products, and most of them are usually not available at your local gunstore.
    Too many airguns!

    Then that's a poor local gun store that no doubt complains about its customers shopping on line and cannot understand why.

    I feel oil is fine for a rag and wipe down and some thin oil like sowing machine oil for the trigger but most parts on a springer take some high wear/force so I feel appropriate grease is the best route for sure.
