Common new gun complaints

Leaking air? Put a few drops of silicone oil in gun when charging. This fixed two of my leakers and slowed two way down. Bad or blotchy bluing? Try rubbing with heavy grease. Wood stock a little rough? Rub with 0000 steel wool and your favorite polish. ( Use care as rubbing too hard can remove stain if so treated)

Hi Oldmank1, I'm a bit new.
Put few drops of silicone oil where in the gun?

SILICONE oil where you put the air in it.

I make it standard practice to put a few drops every third or fourth top off on a gun, usually by way of the fill tanks fill hose.

Drizzle a few drops into the quick disconnect, attach to Gun, when you open up the tanks valve it injects the oil into the guns internals. Any dry o ring in the air pathways will benefit, and any extra lube gets shot out, also putting a thin film of lube down the barrel.

A side benefit is your female quick disconnect fittings get their o rings lubed, also. Win win all around

SILICONE OIL ONLY FOR WHAT I DESCRIBED
