NOTE: This product is identical to the Abbey Silicone Oil Dropper reviewed here.
Okay, this is one of those simple products - it either works or it doesn't. This one works!
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 oil itself is unpressurized and in a relatively thick liquid form with a consistancy similar to motor-vehicle engine oil.
The dropper allows easy and accurate application on slide-rails, inside magazine valves, and pretty much anywhere you need to 'drop' oil for lubrication.
The oil itself is ideal for use on...
- GBB Slide Rails,
- GBB firing valve seals,
- GBB Blowback Piston Heads,
- GBB Hammer Mechanism,
- Other moving parts.
It protects, lubricates, prevents drying, prevents wear, and stays put where the thin "spray" oils would run off. Plus it is cheap and there's plenty of it (£2.95 for a 30ml bottle, UK retail price).
I tend to buy this oil dropper over the Abbey version, purely because it is a lot easier to find at local merchants. It's also 4p cheaper per bottle. 
Provided this oil is used in the right places, it gets a solid 10 out of 10.
