LP-10 seals

Post by SMBeyer »

I have had my LP-10 for about 5 months now and have probably shot around 2500 pellets through it. With what kind of lube and how do you guys lube the seals on this wonderful piece of equipment?

I use silicon grease, get it from my dive shop that fills my tanks.

This is the cheapest, and best solution. But use sparingly.

Yes, but where do you put the silicon grease or the FWB special grease?

The Steyr instructions don't say.

Just a light smear on the o ring that seals where the cylinder attaches, and on the o ring that is immediatey visible when opening the slide. Make sure to carefully wipe any excess off with a lint free cloth. The acid free silicone grease re constitutes the o ring material, and enhances its lifespan. Perform this simple task approx every 1000 shots or so.

Do not get any silicone on the threads where the air cylinder screws on - otherwise you will get galling of the threads and have great difficulty removing cylinder eventually.
