Air Chamber Oil

Post by jjgun »

I'm a new AP shoot. Just bought an Izzy. Any recommendations on which oil to use to lubricate the air chamber?

Air Gun Oil

You should use a synthetic (non-petroleum based) oil with a high flashpoint to prevent the oil from igniting under compression, i.e. "diesel". I suggest using Gamo air gun oil which is available from MidwayUSA. There are other suitable brands and sources as well. Only apply one or two drops every 500 pellets or so.

Silicone-base oil or, even better, lube is the only thing to use. No petroleum products as, over time, they attack the O-rings and deteriorate them. I learned this the hard way, having to disassemble and replace all the rings in my FAS air gun.
