I tried an odd experiment today based on a whim/idle curiosity.
Testing a recently rebuilt Daisy 1938b with some homemade parts and it was flinging curveballs all over with little puffs of oil mist. I cleaned the bore with alcohol and it did somewhat better. Just for the heck of it I cleaned it again and swabbed the bore a few times with a patch soaked with spray-on graphite lube and dried it out with an old hair dryer…maybe it’s just me, but when I tested it, after a few shots it suddenly started hitting p.o.a.
No idea how long the effect will last, or if it will continue working (I’ve always heard lube kills accuracy), but then have also never heard of anyone trying this stuff before…it’s slicker than bare steel and won’t “crowd up” like oil because it’s hard and dry…will continue testing.
Has anyone else ever tried this, and if so, what were your results ?
