    It is quite smelly! But it soon goes after a few shots.
    And no, cod liver oil doesn't diesel, that's why it's ideal
    Just make sure you wash you hands after you Molly your mainspring and start loading pellets!

    silicon oil for the leather only. Do not use as a metal lube.
    Or pure neatsfoot oil is traditional.
