Fitting a new seal on Steyr LP2 - HELP

I'm trying to fit a new seal to the rod that loads the pellet in the breach on a Steyr LP2.

The old one was looking worn and it popped off really easy but now I'm finding it super hard to get the new one on.

Can anyone please give me a hint on how best to go about it?

Thanks

We are talking about temporary adjustments here there is better stuff for permanent amendments to your grip. I find the polymorph will stick to the textured parts of the grip but I put a little double sided tape or silicone sealant on under the bits that fit on the smooth parts of the grip. I only u...

I would not put sand on as it may end up all over your case and in the workings of your gun. Try heating up a piece of metal in boiling water and melting a cross hatch design into the polymorph. I usually try to do this while it's still soft but you can do it buy heating up a knife and pushing in a ...

Polymorph it's a hot water activated plastic and you can remove it after it hardens as it has no glue in it.

Just look on you tube to see people using it for all sorts. I've used it on grips as you can remove it many times if needed to change things around.

Thanks for all the input guys. http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww297/matthewmole/IMG_0738.jpg?t=1333014416 I've cleaned my design up and added some more sugru to neaten up the edges and added texture. It still looks like my 11 year old made the mods but I'm really happy with the functionality. [/...

The black Sugru looks kind of misfit. Why don't you use mostly orange/ add little black to match the wood color, smooth out the edge, use a pencil tip to stipple the grip. You do have 24 hours to set it to hard. Grip it once or twice, then leave it alone for 24 hours. It is very tempting to grip yo...

Thanks for clearing that up - I'm please the grip is ok as I really feel a lot more solid and stable with the adjustments. Sugru - you are correct takes a LONG time to go off, but saying that you can push it around for a few hours as it hardens to get the shape just right. I also use polymorph a hot...
