    Wd-40?

    Anyone ever had problems shooting after lining the inside of the barrel with WD-40 aside from the first couple of rounds fired?

        Whenever you re-lube a marker you're supposed to take the barrel off... so when you dry fire, the oil stays OUT of the barrel. Adding WD-40 would defeat this purpose. Besides, WD-40 and o-rings don't play nice together so it shouldn't be near your gun in the first place. Same goes for 3 in 1 oil.

          3-in-1 oil works fine with orings.

              3 in 1 oil is actually the recomended lubricant for autocockers from wgp. sewing machine oil is the same thing, as is any high quality turbine oil.

                Don't use WD-40 in the barrel. It leaves an oily film. If you want to help keep the barrel shiney and smooth, wash with hot water. Then spray a bit of silicon spray and let sit for a moment. Now run a polish cloth down the barrel. The inside will be silky smooth and broken paint residue will shoot out much better.

                    WD-40 isn't a lube, it's intended for Water Displacement: spray it on bare steel after it gets wet to prevent rust. Why would you use it in the barrel, though?

                        I ammend my statement....

                        I just reviewed a manual I had where the gun manufactured DID recommend the use of 3 in 1 Oil, vasoline, or sewing machine oil to properly lubercate thier marker...











                        Oh wait, that manual was for the P.O.S. Psychoballistics Cocker I bought off Ebay for $180 shipped.

                          any synthentic oil, like 3-in-1 oil or sewing machine oil will be fine for o-rings. what you want to ovoid is petrolium products and penetrating oil. these eat o-rings for breafast

                            do yourself a favor, keep the WD-40 far away from your gun. it's a solvent based penetrating oil. oh yeah and it stinks.

                            if you want your barrel slick and clean, wash it with soap and water. you can put rain X on it, or claen it with plexus, or barrel cleaner, but I like plain old soap and water.

                            oil will just stick to the balls as they come out and make them curve balls.

                              H*LL Yeah keep the WD-40 away from your barrel, If you want a slick surface in the barrel try Rain-X the stuff for your windshield apply it on a piece of cloth and run it through with a sqeegee and let it set for a minute or so and then do it again and let sit a minute or so and then using a clean dry piece of cloth run it through and make sure the inside comes shiney.. Then your barrel will act like a ceramic barrel and clean itself out after a cple shots... Reapply after a cple cases of paint...........
