is this lube safe enough for the barrel of a break barrel rifle so that it doesnt damage the piston or seals?
1511641
Yes. But I don't use it on the seals just the barrel and chamber. whipe off excess after each use but a lil bit wont hurt. My air rifle does fine and I've used this stuff for years,!!

Also please remember to push the brushes and patches through the same direction as the bullet travels.

Call the manufacturer of the rifle. My Gamo says no. It says to use their oil. Silicone based I believe. Or something like that?I would contact the creator of the rifle to be sure. I used the oil to bring the outside of an old pellet gun back to life. Worked wellbut I didn't put it in the barrel. Troy

I don't have any problems I have 2 weihrauch rifles R1,R9 beeman markings both break barrel rifles you only use a drop or two to swab the barrel I like it (nice and clean) leaves the bore very shiny

It would be completely fine for a break barrel. The solvents wouldn't come in contact with the piston unless you purposely put it there. The kit is mainly for cleaning lead residue from the inside of the barrel.

I only use rem oil for inside the barrel, and the seals. And very sparingly. This lube is OK for the exterior, but not recommended for break barrel guns.

I use it on all of the main contact points on all of my firearms. I feel it is much better than oil. Just remember a little goes a long way.

From what I have gathered for information regarding the use of lubricants in break barrel rifles, care must be taken when utilizing lubricants in the air chamber (this is where the compressed air is generated and stored until the rifle is shot) and in the area of the breech where the projectile is is placed in the weapon and discharged (shot). From the name listed by this manufacturer "RMCOIL Silicone Chamber oil" this lubricant is used sparingly in the gun's Spring Air Chamber (one or two drops every 500 shots or so). Some "Chamber Oil" manufacturer's supply a special long tube applicator where you would place this applicator down into the spring chamber area and place the two drops directly into the "Air Chamber." As far as utilizing Hoppe's Gun cleaning solution to clean your barrel, this is not recommended by some manufacturer's. By using this cleaning solution you could cause "dieseling" to occur in the pellet chamber and barrel, as the solution residue left after cleaning the barrel, can and will ignite (think small explosion) due to the instantaneous high pressures and temperatures during discharge of the compressed air from the gun's "air chamber." This dieseling should only occur for a short time after you clean your weapon, as the oil residue is burned off. But the dieseling is really a small explosion inside the barrel during it's firing. It may not cause any damage to you or your weapon, but to be safe the manufacturer's certainly do not recommend it. As far as normal lubrication of your weapon (read other than inside the chamber/barrel), you can safely use any lubricating oil that is made for and used for this type of service to protect and lubricate all other weaponry.

I have a small bottle of lubricating oil that I use for my hand gun. Use very little, works like a charm. A lot cheaper than olive oil!

If you have a spring piston air gun, do not lubricate piston or spring with anything but airgun oil. It's non-flammable/non-combustible. Dieseling can occur with the wrong oil, possibly damaging the air rifle.

i wouldn't, they make a bore cleaner also. best lube i have ever used though.

No. You will have to use case lube on all rifle FL sizing dies, even if they are carbide.

I use this in the receiver and on the BCG instead of the oil to keep my weapon wet. In Arizona the extreme heat together with the heat from firing the weapon requires a little thicker lube. It's not as thick as you may think of grease normally. It's a perfect viscosity to keep the weapon wet under extreme conditions. Never used it in the barrel. I usually run a pad with the slip 2000 oil one time through for storage.

That is correct Mike. This is a cleaner and lube in one. It won't leave excess residue either. Works great.

100% never use water with any lube , this stuff is great , I put mine in a spray bottle , it goes on wet and is smelly but dries to a great lube , just use sparingly , soak a rag with a little and store in a plastic bag , when ever you need to wipe down a firearm or whatever just use the rag and all will be well !

Been using this along with equivalent lubes on my HK compacts and Glock family of guns. I do not overlube though and had experienced no problems.

I dont know. This works great for break barrel guns where you have direct access to the barrell.

I personally would not use it for a lubricant, i use distilled water in a spray bottle. but like peanut says "sure can" then go for it...

Not sure. I've used Hoppes solvents and oils for years on my firearms but never on airguns. When I do clean an airgun I use air tool oil which you can buy at any hardware or tools retail store. Your best bet is to call a Umirex technical assistant at their customer service number. In general avoid making the parts "wet' with lubricant, it just drains off and attracts/holds dirt to the part. A really thin coat of grease at at heavy wear point of friction would be more effective. By all means keep the lubricant, especially petroleum, away from the seals of the air chamber where the air getscompressed or released under high pressure. It can damage the seals and there is some high heat that occurs when hi-pressure air is explosively released.

I cleaned the barrel with 177.cleaning pellets and a gun cleaning kit the hoppes kit I bough from Amazon just use the oil it comes with on the outside only!!! I oiled the barrel with the silicone chamber oil by crosman spring oil!! I have the spring black ops! The round 177.bb worked great in it!! I was really loud I like using the heavier 177 pellets H&N barracuda power 10.65 but anything 8.18 and up works great in it.....

I use a couple of different brands of pneumatic gun lubricant with my Hitachi. I have a great number of pneumatic guns and tools of varying brands. I have yet to use the tool manufacturers recommended brand only or specifically. I have never had a tool failure and some of mine are over 20 years old. As far as I know, no pneumatic tool manufacturer produces a proprietary lubricant. The lubricant is a light weight oil of generic production, just like chainsaw bar oil.
