Pros: Does exactly what it is supposed to, fixes leaky magazine valves, lubricates dry seals, lubricates medium-friction slow moving parts
Cons: Can dry out if not stored correctly

The Abbey Supply Silicone Grease is an excellent product, and a must-have for long-term care of gas replicas and AEG Mechboxes.


Silicone lubricants have long been the standard of Airsoft lubrication as it is a safe product on the many rubber and plastic parts used in these guns. Petrochemicals attack rubber and some plastics slowly and lead to breakages and corroded valve seals - not good. Silicone based lubricants do not attack these materials, leading to a long and happy life for your Airsoft collection.


The grease itself comes in a small 20ml tub and has the consistancy of jelly.


To apply it, I have found that a small flat-headed screw-driver dipped in to the tub and then spread on the surface to be lubricated is most effective. You can also just dip in a finger and spread the grease directly on.


The grease itself is ideal for use on...
  • GBB firing valve seals,
  • GBB filling valves,
  • The rubber pad on top of GBB magazines,
  • GBB Blowback Piston Heads,
  • AEG Piston Heads,
  • AEG Air Nozzle Tip,
  • Plastic Gears,
  • Other slow-moving parts.



The grease is NOT suitable for...
  • GBB Barrels and Breeches (coats the HOP-UP mechanism and stops it working correctly),
  • GBB Slide Rails (slows down the slide's movement to the point where it may not operate correctly),
  • Metal Gears (does not provide the protection of a gear-grease).



It protects, lubricates, prevents drying, prevents wear, and stays put where the thin "dropper" and "spray" oils would run off. It is also EXCELLENT for curing leaky magazine valves - I have taken magazines that others have condemned as "FUBAR" and brought them back to life, using only a little Silicone Grease! Plus it is cheap and there's plenty of it (£3.00 for a 20ml tub (UK retail price) that will last you years if properly stored).


Provided this oil is used in the right places, it gets a solid 10 out of 10.

Pros: Does what it says on the tin
Cons: none

Can't really add to R22's comments as he's pretty much covered everything.


But i'll definately back his comments, This product is excellent, Does everything you would think to use it on.


I'll definately continue to use it.
