YYYYEEEEEEHHHHH thank fck for that I can sleep safe now knowing BP isn't going to assasinate me for telling him a wrong un
PS BP don't bother buying any rail lube for it as it is overpriced bollocks, just use a little bit of vaseline on the rail. I would put some in the cocking slots on the sides where the cocking arms run as well.

RE: Armex Tomcat MKII 80lb crossbow pistol review - Tartar Horde - 19 April 2013
I have used vaseline for ages on rails etc and I have never had any problems at all, I even lube the string serving a little with it but not too much. No doubt there will be some reason not to use it, but I bet that is to get you to buy the string lube (suspicious sod I am)
