Just make sure you buy Hoppes OIL, not Hoppes SOLVENT. |

Ah yes, forgot that part. Powder solvent would be bad on the o-rings. -------------

i believe that gun oil will damage the o-rings. and also its not made for air guns. you want oil that is made for air guns. synthetic oil. ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |

And you would be incorrect. In my dealings directly with Tippmann, I have been sent, on two occasions, sample containers of Hoppe's oil with which to lubricate my 98C. -------------

Bruce said RIGHT ABOVE YOU that Tippmann sent him Hoppes #9 oil, which is primarily marketed as lube for firearms. |

Paintball guns just need the type of oil that is generically referred to as "3 in 1 oil" Hoppes #9 is just that type of oil. It will lubricate the moving parts, it will protect the steel parts from rusting, and it won't eat your o-rings. Hence, it is ideal for your Tippmann marker.
