Hi all.
My question, (questions) are geared towards lube. I've done much searching in the past few weeks and found the answers to most all my queries, but I am having a hard time to find definitive answers concerning lube for a springer. Right now, specifically for the Phantom .22.
I've had everything tore apart, de-burred, polished, cleaned to my satisfaction for a few days now...
So what I'm asking here is...what's the consensous for pre-lubing the compression tube? A very light coat of 20 or 30 weight ND oil? Moly grease? Moly grease/oil mixture? Certainly not dry, right?
While I'm at it, what's everyones liking for lubing the seal? Moly grease? Oil? Or a mixture?
Thanx in advance! |

Less lube is better than too much.
Just assembled an old TO1 Diana 34 yesterday with a Tesla and GRT spring. Velocity tar on the spring and a dab of moly paste on the piston.
Now shooting over 800fps with 12grain Hobby and 760fps with H&N Trophy.  No lube in the chamber during assembly.  |

I'll go along with what 23ib0d0n says with just a dab of moly on the rear of the piston seal/bearing.
BTW welcome to the site sledman
