xbow rail lubes ????

[Hatchet]

 my parker recommends red hot rail lube but for  $10 for chapstick size bottle I was thinking there has to be something cheaper. so  I looked up diy rail lube n I ended up in xbow nation they all say jig-a-loo 

 

The invisible all-around lubricant

Jig-A-Loo is a revolutionary new product that combines the power of a lubricant with the properties of a water-repellent.

It's a dry silicone-based lubricant that, unlike any other lubricant, contains no oil, grease, wax, petroleum distillates or detergent, so it doesn't stain or stink. It stops squeaks, un-sticks just about anything, protects against rust, and is an exceptional water repellent.

Jig-A-Loo is ideal for wood, metal, glass, rubber, leather, fabrics, most plastics and a number of other surfaces, helping just about anything operate and slide better. With thousands of uses around the house, garden, workshop, boat, campground and more, it's The Can of All Trades™.

 

 ok so I've looked for this in Walmart n 3 different auto parts store n cant  find it any where . tried to buy it online from them but get "page you requested is not responding" . so my ???? is  what do you use for rail lube ,should I just fork out the $10 bucks for what they recomend . or will WD40 work just as well ?.

When I had my Xbow, I used Rail Snot. It seemed to last a long time between applications. Still have it lying around somewhere. If you want it, pm me your address and I'll send it to you when I find it.

I use the rail lube recommended for my ten point but only need to apply it once every 100 shots plus the same lube works in the trigger assembly. Just watch what you use as stuff like wd-40 might eat the serving up.

yea I hear you BH 444, I've read about as much as I can handle on rail lubes  lol ! any lube that attracts dirt dust n any debris will cause serving wear n abrasions. that's why I ask. my thoughts are to use recomended rail lube but the price gouge is ridiculous. so was just looking for other info thank! pm sent BTE

Seriously though I don't use a crossbow but both of my younger brothers do. They use the red hots like you.

[Hatchet]

[Palawman30]

thought you may have been looking for that stuff you and the motheraxiom may have been in the ground blind......  

[BowTechExperience]

Wrong forum BTE...I know you're on many :rofl:

[Hatchet]

  BTE you can send that to Pa ! he's has a "vibrating baton " standard issue if you will

[BowTechExperience]

Lol

[Hatchet]

it's funny tried to find out what's in the red hot rail lube couldn't find out what's in it either from  the label or threw a google search . when you buy any chems they're required by law  to have the every thing that's in it on the label.

Probably because it is out sourced and re-branded for Parker.  You have to find out who makes it for them and then ask them for an MSDS sheet.
