maybe not free. Go to any sporting goods store that has gun cleaning stuff. Wal-mart, K-mart. Buy Hoppes 9

Just go to a sporting goods store or your local paintball shop and pick up some Hoppes 9 or Gold Cup Lubricant.. or Shocker Lube if you wish (one of my friends uses it on his 98 for some odd reason).. Hoppes 9 will cost you 2-3 bucks. -------------

Hoppes 9 is the way to go. Pretty cheap too.

I really like Hoppes 9. I also have used the Extreme Rage stuff and it seems to work well. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Then don't use oil unless you have to, since crap sticks in oil. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

Uh, won't Hoppes cause the O-rings to degrade?

Just remember one thing:
Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER, use WD-40. |

Or Ducttape. I proved the saying "ducttape and WD-40 is all a redneck needs in life" untrue this way. -------------

Huh, no kidding. I thought Hoppes was oil based. Well, you learn something everyday. Thanks for the info. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

Did you mean petrolium based? Petrolium based oils and solvents will break down rubber O-rings. Hoppes No.9 is mineral oil and is safe for O-rings and rubber parts. |

| Isn't Hoppes silicone oil? |

| NO, Hoppes is a mineral oil. And besides, most orings in use today aren't natural or Buna rubber. They are a petroleum based polymer. A synthetic. Unless Tippmann is trying to make a dollar off every owner every year, I doubt they would ship their guns with something that will damage them. |
