The FWB 300-S is lube sensitive, meaning that you need different lubes for different areas on the gun.
Cocking lever hinges need a good quality gun oil and the sliding 'sledge' bearings require a low viscosity grease such as a moly grease or PTFE based synthetic grease.
The piston basically runs dry in the bore but a tiny drop of silicone super lube such as Beemans super lube won't hurt. Another good piston lube is dry slide.
The cocking lever safety ratchet should have a smear of moly grease.
DO NOT PUT ANY OIL NEAR THE TRIGGER MECHANISIM as it runs dry.
Wipe all blued metal work down with a rust inhibitor gun oil.
I'm sure you will get more advice on this, but this is what FWB told me to do when i visited the factory years ago.
