Anyone have experience with this?
« on: June 15, 2007, 01:31:29 AM »


 It is a product called Bel-Ray waterproof grease.



Some people use it for airguns.

Also if you can post what you use to lube your airguns.



Thanks. :D

Hey, Rob, welcome back.  Can't tell from the web site, but it looks like it might be petroleum based, which makes it questionable for interior use on springers.  I just replaced the spring and piston seal in my HW 77, used Macarri lubes throughout, moly for the seal and metal to metal areas, and a couple of different tars on the spring and guide.  Should be good for 10,000 shots or so, from what I've been able to find out.  I need to get a silicone cloth to wipe down the exterior, though.  Hope this helps.

Yup... I've used this stuff in gearboxes, outboard motors and stuff. It IS petrolium based. Not very good in a springer.

Alright i just picked up a tub of it today and it was rather cheap.
I plan on using it for the seals and maybe around the trigger because of the petroleum issue.


Thanks for the help.

Uhhhh....I wouldn't use it on the piston seal unless you wanna turn your springer into a firearm.

I have a fair amount of experience with Bel Ray products...Having worked in the Motorcycle industry in the past. Bel Ray water proof grease is great stuff, and is petroleum based. It's great in a heavy duty application that will get a lot of moisture and contamination exposure.
