I have not purchased any lube separately from them but I purchase often their tunekit and some custom made item and moly comes along with it.

They have competitors so negative feedback is not surprising for me.
I often buy from them and many of my friends here buy from them.

I think you can import. Imported product is always good. That why we are importing from India to US and you can import from US to India. :)

> Yeah, in the good old days when catch words like 'Tuning' , Buttoning, Shimming etc were never heard of the only lube that worked well was the "Good Old Singer Sewing Machine Oil"!!!
> Diana & BSA were the only brands in Air Rifles sold & used then (In India) - I am talking about the 50s & 60s and they used to cost Rs.100 to Rs.150!
> Believe me some of my friends have passed them 2 to 3 generations down the line & they still perform!!!
> Today guns don't look like guns anymore - especially some of the PCPs - they look like 'Robotic or Prosthetic Contraptions that spit out lead projectiles at Mach One or somewhere there about!

yes did that with an old bsa mercury. not singer oil though, but ball bearing grease. I striped it and and applied it very liberally all over the spring, piston, 0 ring and later over a teflon washeri made! believe me the gun shot at a higher velocity and was very accurate out to 35 yards!! still use it. no wear and tear too.

just too scared to try that on the diana magnum 350....hence all the queries.

ever tried any of the This thread has been edited for violation of Indian For Guns policy as stated in the Announcements forum? they are marketing a lubricant kit.

yes Briha, all this "business" makes me question better technology, not mention loss of sleep trying to find the required accessories here in India.

> You know the lube technology is undergoing a 'sea change' in its formulation the world over...
> Petroleum by-products are being replaced with synthetic ones and very effective too!
> A tech friend an authority on lubes tells me that 'standard grease' does not posses the tenacity of 'adherence' to surfaces - with result ocassional / repeated applications become mandatory.
> Modern tech has developed a synthetic component which is polymer based that sticks to the surface much longer Eg; to facilitate cold starts in auto engines during winter (even in sub-zero temps) its also resistent to excessive heat.
> If this componenet is added to spring lubes then guns esp. sprigers perform smoothly without vibrations. Even guns not used for a long time get cocked smoothly in the first attempt.
> This way thrust efficiency is optimum - delivers maximum compression - aids in enhancing velocity commensurately - not overdoing it.
> Some food for thought!
