CFXlongshot...No it is not Slick50.Non Detergent 30W oil is on the Walmart shelves in the automotive section. As for moly powder, I would like to know where to get some myself. I use moly grease purchased from JM and from ebay( a loctite product).
I do something similar to Vince, just use ND 30W and moly grease mixed together till its nice and thick but will still run, or form a droplet out of a squeeze bottle...its just a littlethicker than the original ND30W. I put a few drops through the slot alongthe spring, let it sit for a few minutesand start shooting. After a whileI can smell the combustion...so I know its working right, but its not dieseling or detonating. There's no heavy smoke,there's no loud explosions, just the regular 350M sound.The key thing with this method is that only a few drops (3-4) are used, and less is better than more in this case. Velocity starts returningto its normal range, and consistency sets in a little later. I believe this is whats known as "controlled combustion", or at least as close as we are going to get to it in a properly functioning springer.
But its important to realize that I do this *after* my original lube where I took it all apart, cleaned, deburred, crosshatched the compression cylinder, lubed, checked or replaced the pistonseal, tarred the spring lightly...and that original combustion smell has gone away...meaning that it has used up its "fuel". That is likethousands of shots after the original lubejob.
There is no need to put anything into the transfer port. That is inviting detonation (been there done that). The "fuel" needs to come from behind the piston seal. The fuelclings to the crosshatch grooves/scratches on the compression cylinder walls. Thepiston seal acts as a wiper when traveling back in the cocking cycle, keeping any excess fuel from the firing/compression cycle. In a nutshell, the 350M needs just a little fuel to help it develop its magnum power. Anything flammable that you put into the transfer port is more than what sneeks past the piston seal, and itwill be ignited just like in a diesel engine...from the high compression alone. A resulting detonation can permanently damage a spring, break a spring, burn a piston seal, or even permantly change the shape of the cylinder (just to name a few). Or even worse...blow up!!!
