Have you ever used paintball lube for gearboxes?
I'm talking about Dow33 type of lubes, (I have a jar of HaterSauce green lube, and its feels like it could be use with gearboxes, since it doesnt freeze, and is great for lubing seals and metal on metal...but couldnt find any info for that application....)

If you're able to, ask if you can bring a 6 pack and pizza and ask the gundoc to show you how to install it. That way you get it installed "professionally" (hopefully) and you can also learn a bit about your gun and how to do work on it in the future (and/or troubleshoot things). A few things you might want to learn about while you're in there are;
- compression (how to check it, and how to change out compression parts (this is dead simple if you remember anything from high school physics) and lube it properly with "air seal" grease and whatever)
- spring changes
- shimming
- gear regrease (one of my secrets is to use something like Finishline Teflon dry lube, it's much better than the crappy white lithium that cakes up and eventually gets "gunky", and also since it sticks on "dry" it doesn't attract as much particulate matter like dust and sand which can gunk up gears (really helpful if you play in sandpits and really dry areas or whatever)).
