Plenty of people use the CV Moly grease on air gun springs...

Bisley gun grease for all internals works for me.

The first time i did my HW80 i put too much on the spring, it shot maybe 50 pellets approx then it started smoking like a chimney.

Had to strip it down and clean everything and start again with alot less grease.

Its shot 3 tins of pellets without any smoke.

I used that £6 odd for 50g until I found its the same stuff as car lube. Only 10x the price.

 

Mole I dont think that's the same as the molykote. Think its the black stuff. If its the stuff i paid 15 quid for then, dammit!

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Mike, people are happily using the Moly CV joint grease on main springs as it does not dry out, thicken and is reckoned by many to be basically the same stuff!

I'm sure its great on mainsprings. That molykote stuff is for bearings rubber and plastics. Just the ticket me thinks for piston seals. Used in castors on trolleys. I'm guessing its alot thinner and less 'sticky' than molybdenum.

[milegajo 595]

Oh and im fairly certain that that cv joint stuff is indeed the same as the rather expensive 'gun grease'. Save yourselves a packet gentlemen 500g should last a lifetime!

[thursodog 353]

Nah, the cv joint stuff is what i have in the garage and its slightly thinner than the stickier gun grease so works its way onto the face of the piston seal causing dieseling in my humble opinion.

[milegajo 595]

Ahh interesting...will keep an eye out for that. Didn't think molybdenum ignited under pressure.

[thursodog 353]

I thought it would be ok too but i slapped loads onto the spring and hey ho, smoking gun.

I'm sticking with the pricey Bisley just incase.

And a little less than lots as i found out to my cost.
