Lubricant On My Gun

Hey I need to know can I use Break Free Lubricant / Preservative Pistol Cleaner for my airsoft pistol
I am not to sure what it is it looks like a 0.45 but its not it looks a lot like a HFC M9 Though

if you are talking about the real gun lubricant then no; you should not use anything with an oil in it. try going to the local auto parts store and search for 100% silicon lubricant. its the only real gun lubricant that is safe for plastic. on top of that its really affordable at 3.99 a 1800ml can at my local store.

hope that helps.

my airsoft guns all metal and rubber

ye the oil will deteriorate the rubber in your hop-up. and probably your hop-up too since it is a plastic hop. it will weaken your mags with alot of everyday use, heck even if its just sitting there it will seperate them. plus i know you have a plastic body so that would be damaged.

besides metal is not always better, trust me just get the silicon

Thanks buddy its good to have people like ya'll on the forum .

yeah, you really want to go with the silicon. Sticks.13 is a wiz and I support him here.

I could tell he knew what he was talking about I probally need to more often but I never have cleaned my guns .

all that you need to do is spray the hop-up with a little lube then your ready to go. the great thing about airsoft is that you only need to lube the barrel, most of the other parts have grease applied and unlike RS precision rifles you do not need to lube it every other time you fire it.

Uhm....I just read this, and I am a little worried.....I oil my guns barrel after every use, which is ALOT, and this is the oil I have been using for years:



Should I quit using this??

I would, this could work just fine as it is just oil, but the risk is not worth the gain in my opinion. I support what Sticks.13 has already said above.

Silicone spray is the way to go but if you have been using this for years and nothing has happened then it should be ok but I would still listen to sticks as well .
