Oil

[carrim]

Where would be a good place to buy oil for my paintball marker? There are no paintball stores near here.

Go to a hunting store and ask for some oil that will not eat up urethane orings. Tell them you're going to use it on a paintball gun...they might have some paintball specific oil.

There are also very few hunting stores near me... any type of oil that I could get in a department store or something?

I forgot exactly what the viscosity of PB oil is, but you can use something that has a very low viscosity. Go to a hardware store, and ask for an oil for pnumatic tools (nail guns, rivit guns, ect...), it should have a very distinct smell to it, and it should be clear to VERY light in color.

you can order it online if you want....................

[MeGotzGriffin]

you obviously have the internet so order it off someplace like pbgear.com they're probably the best place to order offline...and sometimes when you get a gun from a good company (ACI) they sometimes include a bottle of pb gun oil...did you get any?

I just noticed you live in Victoria. There aren't any pball stores near you?

[carrim]

There are plenty of fields and no actual stores. Norm's is somewhat of a store but is one hell of a drive. Therefore, does anyone know a BRAND of oil I could just get at a hardware or department store.

Find a hobby shop. If they don't have any, see if R/C shock oil will do the trick. Make sure you get a low viscosity, maybe around 10 or 20 weight. I'm not completely sure if it'll work well with your gun, though. Ask them. I also saw a website that had different types of useable household oil... I think one of them was 3 in 1...

there's two types of 3-in-1-- there's a heavier one for bigger motors- i've used that and it works pretty well.

I've also had good luck using Hoppe's gun lube- it's cheap and does the job--it's also readily available at almost any hunting store.
