i'm rebuilding my ole Beeman R10...new mainspring and piston seal.
to lube them will Dow Corning, Molykote 33 light suffice? |

Should be ok, but keep in mind there isn't actually any molybdenum in it- if that's what you were shooting for.
Straight from Dow Corning- "Phenyl-methyl silicone grease for extreme low temperatures" if you look at its makeup- it also uses Lithium soap as its thickening agent, and apparently it is white in color- so there's no way any moly is in it (molybdenum can't be re-colored or bleached without destroying its makeup). |

i want to be able to lube the parts with something i know will be proper is all... 
i'm sort of...shall we say...in some challenging times, and i would like to use what i have on hand if it will suffice without damage or have deterimental affect on the rifle. 
i also have some RWS spring oil on hand (just found it stashed yesterday) that should do. 
thanks... |
