lubing airsoft rifle with regular gun lube

Jul 7, 2008 10:30pm
i was just wondering if i could use an oil that is used to lubricate a real firearm on an airsoft rifle. on the bottle it says it is able to be used on all firearms and mechanisms, and it will not gum, harden, or turn rancid. it is also high viscosity and keeps rust away. i hope that is enough info, and thanks in advance

what exactly would you be using it on? is it oil? only thing used in gearbox's is grease.

Petrolium based gun cleaners will destroy your hop unit, nozzle and any other plastic parts.
