4 questions for ye peoples

First off I went to the store to get a squeegee and o-rings and I saw a hoppes 9 pack that came with this plus oil and other stuff. what I wanted to ask is which oil is better Gold Cup or Hoppes 9, now I have both so which should I use?

Second, the bolt in my gun is plastic with 5 air holes running down the length of the bolt, there are no o-rings on it, should I oil it? or just the hammer and striker.

Third, does Hoppes 9 anti-fog spray work or will it fudge up my V-force? thx.

Fourth, occasionally while my gun is on semi it does two shots back to back with one pull, is this normal or is there something I can adjust to avoid this? I wouldn't want to tell ppl I'm playing on semi then accidently burst on them.

1) Doesn't matter
2) I'd say don't oil it. It's probably delrin.
3) If your v-force is thermal, you shouldn't use it. If it fogs, then use it.
4) Charge your battery or check for loose wires and stuff.

1) Is it hoppes 9 gun oil as in for firearms? Because that may have solvents in it that dissolve o-rings (tell us what the other stuff was with the oil).

2) Read your manual and do what it says. I would guess no oil.

3) Don't put no-fog spray on your V-force. The lens is already no-fog and doesn't need it. At the very most use mild soap and warm water to clean it, but I've only ever used water. Don't use a paper towel on the inside of the lens or you'll mess up the coating.

The Hoppes 9 kit I got came with a pouch to put on your belt, and inside was a stick squeegee broke into three parts that you screw together (it has squeegee head, a head where you clip in a disposable cleaning cloth, and a swab head), a big cloth, the oil, the anti-fog spray, 25 disposable cloths, and o-rings. for 20 bucks.

As for the oil it lists firearms as one of its uses but it also sasys "fishing reals and all mechanisms" below that and it just says Hoppes 9 Lubricating oil High Viscosity and Penetration.

The thing about my bolt that confused me and I didn't mention this b4, is that the bolt pictured in my instruction manual IS NOT the one that was in my gun. In the manual it has a pic of a basic venturi with o-rings on it and mine looks nothing like it, that's why I asked.

Call the manufacturer, might be that the manual you have is an old one. Or that the bolt is completely messed up.

I'm guessing that since this used to be a 32 degrees manufactured gun but has now been takes over by PB, I got an old manual since nowhere on the booklet it does it even mention PB as the manufacturer, which I find a little strange.

Their site says Delran bolt though, so I guess there's my answer, I hope the 3 times I oiled it didn't mess it up.

If it works now then it's fine. The thing that messes up is that it swells (so it wouldn't work at all) Anyway, take the Hoppes oil and an extra o-ring and let it soak for a bit, see what happens.
