How much lube is too much lube - Shocker

[rob_evanson]

I've got a Shocker SFT and will need to re lube it soon, but how much is too much. When I had a shocker sport, even if you put a sliver of lube on the bolt it still sprayed it down the barrel causing accuracy problems.

just give all the oring a liberal coating but not drowned in grease, so that the bolt moves freely.

it was all the greasing and lubing that made me sell mine in the end

The only things that you can overlube are the o-rings which meet moving parts. With all the bolt parts out of the gun, I lube the outside ones with as much as I want, and give the internal ones just a light coating. Works best if you clean off all the old lube too.

Like Jon said, the inner orings on the firing can and the actual bolt orings need the most attention. the outer orings basically seal the chambers so they often dont even need any.

IMHO its best just to keep on going with it as it is, so long as its working, dont touch it. its when people start taking it apart after every tournament that it often doesnt work right.

Dry fire a few times with the barrel off, afetr lubing, to prevent a greasy tube...

Of course, there are times when you can never have too much lube, but I still find it will Shocker...

As was said tho, careful with it, as when you shoot your bolt, the lube goes everywhere...

You can lube the ones on the bolt guide quite a bit, just not too much on the outer o-rings. Also make sure you don't get any lube in the holes on the bolt.
But err... Here's a link anyway, select your bolt and have fun.

Remember to luve your Shocker often, they tend to suck without lube (no comments about them sucking with lube, thanks )

Happy tinkering.

[edit: when I said 'luve' I obviously meant 'lube' just that these fingers are too fast for my own good (make of that as you will) But hey, luve your Shocker too if you wish, whatever floats your boat.]
