HAHAHA, what am I gonna do? Put on my parka and go club a baby seal? Sell it on the black market as "paintball oil" LOL

Edit: if that joke crossed any lines, please just give me a warning and I will delete it.


All joking aside, I got a bottle of Gold Cup, any arguments there? I'll lube 'er up and take 'er for spin, see what happens.

No sir. I think WD-40 makes that stuff.

My biggest issue with GC is that every bottle I have gotten has leaked. I throw them in my tool box, they fall over and leak all over everything. Sad that the cheap little bottles of Extreme rage oil don"t do it, but the $6.00 bottle of GC does.

Like Ando, I'm a fan of Tri-flow after using it for awhile. I was using Hoppes #9 before that, but found that it left a dirty-gray film that almost looked like corrosion. Granted, that was on my Tippmann rather than my Mag, and it was pretty easily wiped off, but I'd rather the oil stay the same consistency. The Tri-flow hasn't let me down.

Whatever you end up using, just make sure it's synthetic.

I've always used Gold Cup as well, and also run into the leaky bottles, every single one of em... ah well though lol

[bound for glory]

gold cup.

Gold cup seems to mess with the urethane orings. They turn brown and go nasty.

Has anyone tried synthetic motor oil? I don't see any reason that wouldn't be an excellent choice.

[reckid1986]

i use air tool oil with a couple drops of transmission fluid, it has stopped leaks in many of the markers that i bought used. Been using this for about the last 6 years or so.

as for gold cup oil if anyone gets a bottle mailed to them and half of it has leaked out in the package just get a hold of them and complain about, they sent me out a new bottle for free and between the 2 I got 1 full bottle lol. This was a long time ago I think that I still have them sitting in a couple zip lock bags somewhere and last time I came across them the bag was soaked with oil...

yea i use gold cup and i have always had problems with them leaking! haha
