Abusers of the phenomenon will sometimes cause the rod to separate from the piston. That is the most common failure with a gun that has been lubed with the wrong oil. We’ve seen many spring powered guns come in for service with broken mainsprings. This additional pressure can damage the action of your pistol or rifle. You’ll know this is happening by the tell-tale loud sonic report and the wisp of smoke that comes out of the barrel. A by-product of this is additional pressure. Just like a diesel motor, a fuel/air combination will detonate and release heat energy. If there is a fuel source in the cylinder, the heat of compression will ignite that fuel source. The compression stroke is where combustion occurs for both gas and diesel engines. Every time you pull the trigger is a compression stroke. The second reason is that your spring-piston air rifle is very much like a piston/cylinder arrangement in a motor. First, it will not damage the silicone seal material when applied. In either case, RWS Chamber lube is the way to go for two reasons. Older spring powered guns use a leather seal.
The seal at the end of the piston is typically silicone. Secondly, the oil will prevent the CO2 cartridge from tearing the puncture seal if when a new CO2 cartridge is installed.Īir rifles are quite different from CO2 powered air pistols but still share silicone parts. As you shoot, a little bit of that oil will pass into the valve and keep the inner part of the valve from becoming dry. A drop of RWS Chamber Lube on the tip of each CO2 cartridge will help prevent this from happening.
Airtool oil on guns crack#
If they dry out, they can crack and if they crack, you have a leak. These silicone parts are durable but can dry out as the super cold CO2 continually passes through them over time.
The silicone/petroleum reaction is similar but much slower. One of our techs describes this using the analogy of gasoline and Styrofoam. This is important to note as the use of a conventional oil will cause the seal to deteriorate. The valve assemblies in today’s CO2 powered air guns are fitted with silicone seals and O-rings. Keeping them clean is a big part of that care, but you do need to be careful about what you are putting in and on your air gun. I've also heard of transmission fluid being used to lube firearms, i believe there is an extensive thread on it here at the hide.Both CO2 and spring powered air guns do need some maintenance to help ensure a long life. a toothpaste sized tube is around 20.00 and so far only used 1/2 a tube over the last 3 years, 2-3 range sessions a month and thousands of lubed bullets later. Have been using it as a rifle & pistol lube / protectant and a bullet lube. unless you are in the desert, i see no problem with it. besides cleaning the rifle and proper storage takes care of that problem anyway. Though it does and will collect more dust / dirt than oils as it has the consistancy of petroleum jelly, a little goes a long way to help reduce that very same dust / dirt collection. makes one heck of a rust preventative too. makes things nice and smooth operating and stays where you put it (no running). I've been using a high temp silicone grease.
