Hey I bought this Lube at walmart and its called Graphite Lubricant Wondering if I can use this on my bolt? If so this is a great inexpensive alternative for paintballers. If so I will post this in the Budget baller section!

I would be extremely careful of what you put in your marker. I wouldnt suggest using anything but lube especially made for paintball.

Marvel Air Tool oil is cheap and works great in most mechs and pumps.

Marvel air tool oil is all i use in my mech markers. It is the best stuff to use and is cheap as well as available in almost every hardware store.

did a quick search for what your refering too is this it? My link if so then no i would not use it in your marker, its "powdered" graphite, probably wouldnt do good things to your bolt or the inside of your chamber. at least with my experience with Lubricants.

But when I can get something else with 2x-3x more for cheaper, it's too expensive. For oil that is, I haven't looked at Dow 33 or anything else grease related.

Back in the day eclipse recommended vaseline

The only non paintball brand I trust is superlube, but only because I cleared it's compatibility with the company, and my local proshop

Thats only a good deal if what youre buying actually WORKS. You can get a tube of Dow 33 that will last months for a stupid cheap price from any online paintball retailer.

Most oils that don't corrode O-rings work in paintball guns. And that tube of Dow 33 may last YOU months. But think of the fields that have enmey's or spool valves as rentals, they use quite a bit of lube and buying a big tube from an auto/hardware store would be cheaper and better in most cases.

i dont understand why people are so hell bent on finding alternative lubes.
just use what the manufacturer tells you to use. at most, you'll spend $2-3 more on dow33 than you would some untested alternative.
just get a good size tub of dow 33 and you'll have enough to last you for years and years.

I would really just buy the lube that is recommended, especially if your gun is expensive.

here's two choices:

1. Buy lube that costs $15 less, and spend theoretically $300 on repairs because all the o-rings are corroded, your bolt is corroding, your regulator needs to be replaced, and electronic damage? (worst case scenario)

2. Or buy the lube that is $15 more, but stretches your gun's life span by a year or two?

the two things that can break in your gun, when using "off brand" lubes are your solenoid and your orings

personally, in a pinch, you can use baby oil

I'd just get on macrolineguy.com, order some paintball specific lubes (dow 33, slick honey, etc) and go with that

a paintball store or field will more than likely know how to get a large amount of lube for cheap. if the field is using random lube for their guns, they are really trying to penny pinch.

Best lube on the market today. Everyone should try it, especially if you have a spoolie.
