I've seen a couple references to someone called "Fast Eddie" promoting some sort of petroleum based product for use in springers. Yikes! Then on another forum I saw that this guy has his own forum. Well, curiosity got the better of me and I tracked it down..
In short, WTH! Is he trying to kill people?!?!?!? It's not just "slick 50" that he recommends putting into springers, but he also recommends "flooding" the chamber with WD40 now too! Of course he is smart enough to put "This report is for reading purposes only, if you make and use these mixtures, you do it at your own risk. " at the bottom of his page explaining his lubing and cleaning techniques.
He also appears to be in love with PBA pellets, claiming they give acceptable accuracy out to 33 yds. And he thinks that Gamo farce of a video showing the hog being killed is just peachy. Of course, every 10th post is a link to some amazing find or 'bargain' on his own Amazon page. "Slick" indeed.
I'm SO glad this is the first airgun forum I decided to really check out. Lord knows what I could be doing right now acting on that clown's advice. The thought of Slick 50 + WD40 + PBA makes me shudder.
No link. I don't want anyone stumbling into there and believing and/or attempting some of that crap.
Okay, I feel better now. Just had to shed some incredulity.
