Do you lube a PCP??
« on: June 17, 2009, 12:19:20 PM »
I received an Evanix Blizzard a month or so back. Do you need to lube it like a CO2 gun??  If so how do you lube it?

Hi..The only O rings I lube are the fill probe every time i insert it...
and the o ring on the pellet probe...
I use a specalised rubber grease that are non petrolum based..
either Caster oil or Lanolin base......
