Vaseline as a gearbox grease?
 
Does anyone know if you can use white petroleum jelly as a grease fort lubricating your gun or piston?

Any petrolium based products will eat away any o-rings it comes in contact with. Go for pure silicone grease.

I use astroglide myself - really helps get into the tighter fit holes.

ShelledPants March 28th, 2013 15:21

Once you trim back the bushings you don't need to use much grease at all.

I've got this product called "Gun Oil" it comes as a silicone based, water based, or hybrid lubricant (silicone + water based). Haven't done any testing though but I suspect the silicone based one might be okay to use on greengas mags.

With use, they become looser over time, though.

You sure can, but Rob's mom prefers I lube my piston with the flavored stuff.


In all seriousness though, no lol
Superlube synthetic is works well as a general purpose mechbox grease

am I the only one who actually uses lube from a sex shop on my guns? Then again, I did try to use froglube on anything just because it says its biodegradable.

just pull the slide back and pop out a stream of white.

Bandit50 April 1st, 2013 02:00

These are all really funny XD but i will try to be a bit serious.. I'm going to say this from some experience.

For the 15 bucks its worth.... buy a Madbull gear grease kit and pick up some red-tek from CT or an automotive parts store for the shafts and bearings.. for like another 6 or so.... maybe a shim kit :P

and do your gun right... When people ask how did you do it? charge 10 - 5 bucks a gear box.. to grease it plus parts (if they want to upgrade there box) and make your money back on the grease 2 times over in no time. :D give your buddies a gun as good as yours..

EG, I know there is better out there but, currently I am getting 2100 rounds out of my gun off a single 8.4v 1200mah battery... with the stock motor and stock gears. :) half of that was shot in full auto...
