    BSA Piston Seal Lubrication

    Yes, the kit is from Chambers. Using the same lubricant on the seal and piston makes sense as whatever lubricant is used on the piston will transfer to the cylinder and from there to the piston seal anyway.

    BSA Piston Seal Lubrication

    I just received a tuning kit for a Mk. 1 BSA Supersport. The kit includes some "ultra grease" and "ultra lube". According to the instructions the grease is for the mainspring and lube for the piston. There's nothing mentioned about lubricating the piston seal. Does it not require any...

    BSA BSA Supersport restoration

    I have an old BSA Supersport which I recently did a restoration job on. I had originally planned to buy a tuning kit but after stripping and refinishing the stock and barrel and fitting new sights, I had already spent more than the gun is worth. In the end I just cleaned/re-greased the...
