Don't know about alternatives, but Smart Parts do mail order on everything they supply.
I know the postage on a tube of grease would be comparatively expensive, but maybe a few people in the same area could get together & order stuff in a group - there must be someone else where you usually play that gets stuff from Smarts, or maybe they supply your local site.

all u need is some gun oil, it does the trick. bin using it for a while.

....

where do you get this gun oil from,and can you think of a particular make that people in normal shops like diy or B&Q or a car place would sell

I really wouldn't use gun oil on an impy mate... the consistency is all wrong and it'll invalidate your warranty. The good thing about the dow too is that it may seem expensive but a tube really does last forever.

Lubricants (Oh Matron!)

Hi,

Don't know about which stuff to use, but if you want to by Molycott (or whatever it is really called, its all the same stuff) then look on either planet or smart parts' websites:

http://www.smartpartseurope.co.uk/

http://www.paintballplanet.co.uk/

Although words like "Lubricant" dont apear to find it, look under the Shocker section and its in there somewhere. Be aware the price does not include P&P or VAT, as said above to buy a tube on its own is pretty pricy, but it also apears to last forever.

If you do decide that gun oil is the way to go (and believe me I have no clue about it! I will take no responsibility for what it does to your marker) and you can't find any (try hunting stores that kinda place) then I'll post you some, it'll cost u about 1.50 (inc postage) for the little bottle I just bought.

If you want some then email me richardkirke@hotmail.com and I'll get some for you. But the recomended stuff probably the best to use.

Good luck

Richard

a more expensive alternative would be to get a delrin bolt which elimintaes the need for lubricant .
