What OIL TO LUBE my mag?

[captain stabbin]

Hi, im going to lube my reg piston/pin, what oil should i use??? Will hoppe's #9 gun oil work, or does anyone have any other suggestions. thanks.

[fire1811]

i would personally just stick with paintball oil

im not sure about hoppe's it might eat the orings

[BlackVCG]

RC Car shock oil (100% Silicone Oil) in 20wt.

Gold Cup Works pretty well.

[paintpiggie]

any paintball gun oil seems to work fine for me.
as long as it's not smelly.

i always have gold cup with me tho.
i use that the most.

Gold cup is what I have around. I think the other big one is Kermode Concepts paintball oil.

[captain stabbin]

Thanks alot guys, ive been using hoppes.. its pretty popular, but ill see if i can pick up some cheap paintball oil.

[Alert]

PBgear has 5 or so ounces of pb oil on their site for cheap, dont remember the exact price but it was much cheaper than standard 1oz oil-5 bucks maby? (order it with other stuff to avoid shipping charges :)

I just picked up some KC trouble free after using gold cup for ages. You can feel the difference in lubricity with your fingers.. and it doesn't smell either :D

The gold cup is good, but KC trouble free is better.

[SpecialBlend2786]

KC trouble free is the god of gun oils

[LoveMyMagMoreThanYou]

KC is the best for most of the gun but the reg piston needs a different lube. I think that Tom said packing grease. But, I could be wrong on that. I'll have to watch my 'Mag video again!

EDIT: Yep Wheel bearing grease

I use household 3 in 1 and it works fine for me.

[Evil1]

Is the 3 in 1 your referring to in a red and white can w/ the red little applicator on top? If so I was told years ago never to use that on my old mag after I bought all new urethane orings due to swelling caused by that oil.

[SpdElemts]

i use rc car 100% silicon oil 20wt for my gun works great.

[opea]

i use WDP luv juice

[electriceel125]

WD40 will eat your orings, so no.
