got my old pellet rifle working again, some matinence questions
mullet:
I'd go with the silicone base like Manny said. Petroleum is bad on breaking rubber down.
recurve shooter:
ok cool i'll try to get some of that stuff. thanks everyone.
yeah i wish i had a .22, but never had any trouble with the .177 killin what i shoot with it. ;D
anyway im waitin on my friend to get here with my scope, should be deadly again by dark. only prollem is that all the tasty critters are illeagle to kill right now. :-\
El Destructo:
I use pure Silicone grease...or dielectric grease....both are pure silicone...and I never put the Gun up without any air pressure either...I always pump it once or twice before putting it in the closet for any extended periods of time...and as for the o-rings...I get mine from the neighborhood gasket and packing shop...they have rubber....viton...silicone ...you name it...they have any o-ring you could want
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Mike is right, pump guns like PCPs should never be left empty.

DID NOT KNOW THAT! lol i always assumed the opposite. thanks. ;D
by the way i got a scope on it last night, took two hours and two trips to wallmart (mostly because my friend and i have the combined intellegence of a good fence post) but i got it on. then i couldnt get it sited it, when i dialed the windage, the elevation changed and vise-versa. till i figured out i had put the scope on sideways. ::)
anyway, got it workin now, gunna see what the limits for range, ect are on it tonight. and i will deffinetly be getting some of that silicon grease. thanks guys. ;D
