O.K. I have a Crosman 500x (break barrell) .22cal (5.5mm) & a Crosman 1377 American Classic pneumatic pump bolt action in .177 cal (4.5mm) pellet. I'm very hyper about taking care of my guns, even my air guns as I want to pass them to my sons.
Anyways when I bought them new from Canadian tire, I asked the guy about proper lubrication. He said that 3 in 1 oil is good enough but after doing research i found out that certain oils can ruin the seals in the airguns. I clean my guns very well & put less than 50 rounds a year through them. But I'm not sure what kind of oil to use. My wife stumbled across some Crosman Pellgun oil & bought it for me. is this the right kind ? Or do I need something else ?
I'm not sure if I put this in the right forum. If I should have put this in the airgun forum I'm sorry. All input is welcome.
Thanks.
