Jim Maccari, Rich in Mich's 'spring shield' a post regarding lubes
I might be missing something but I looked at the above link posted by VinceB as well as all over that website and see nothing where it is endorsed, mentioned, part of a consideration by Jim Maccari. I also went to Jim's website and see nowhere where Rich or the lubricants mentioned in the above post is mentioned in the lubricants section or anywhere else. I have very strong doubts that Jim Maccari would endorse lubes other than what he markets himself.
It would appear to me that it is mis-information when making inference, tying in or putting a well know vendors name up in a same post in conjunction with another "Vendor" in that post in what would appear to be endorsing or promoting a product. That would be deception if you ask me.
Some may jump up and say that I am adverse to other innovations when it comes to lubes. It’s just the fact that most are not effective in the springer applications. Well I'll tell you what.... though I'm not adverse to the idea, by the same token, I have used nothing but Maccari's lubes on a few thousand guns over many years as has most Pro-Tuners.
It would be pretty difficult, though not impossible (if proven to be better) for me to ever change lubes. My customers deserve the best and that's what JM provides and what I use. JM has an unblemished record of providing the best and most effective lubes (as well as other parts) available bar none to both the professional tuners as well as the general airgun enthusiast.
A little advice from an old man that has a couple of tunes under his belt for what it's worth. If you are going to tune your gun, use lubes that have many years of proven efficiency and effectiveness, and reliability. Those lubes as far as I'm concerned come from Jim Maccari and no one else. They might cost a little more but you have the best available and is well worth the difference paid and your gun will love you for it. And if you are going to send your gun out for a pro-tune, before you send it, ask him if he uses Maccari lubes and parts. If not, I suggest that you look around just a bit more and get what you pay for and expect in results both the short term as well as long term... years down the road.
And finally… if you see someone make a or respond to a post in what appears to be an attempt to use the name of a well known person to promote another person, or for personal gain or an attempt to promote another, question the integrity of the post, the person that made the post and whoever the post might be in reference to.
