![]() As you shoot, a little bit of that oil will pass into the valve and keep the inner part of the valve from becoming dry. A drop of RWS Chamber Lube on the tip of each CO2 cartridge will help prevent this from happening. If they dry out, they can crack and if they crack, you have a leak. These silicone parts are durable but can dry out as the super cold CO2 continually passes through them over time. The silicone/petroleum reaction is similar but much slower. ![]() One of our techs describes this using the analogy of gasoline and Styrofoam. This is important to note as the use of a conventional oil will cause the seal to deteriorate. The valve assemblies in today’s CO2 powered air guns are fitted with silicone seals and O-rings. Keeping them clean is a big part of that care, but you do need to be careful about what you are putting in and on your air gun. Both CO2 and spring powered air guns do need some maintenance to help ensure a long life.
