Now, to deal with the lube debacle, there is something I personally use and field on any of my guns; a lot of you may find this either controversial or insightful, to each their own but it's worked for me from air pistols to AEGs with great results, I use Trinity Super Silicone light weight shock oil, this way it's designed to be used on rc car shocks which have rubber damper rings and silicon oil rings, that stuff sticks! You have to make sure to use a light weight rating (also helps with picking out an oil with a lighter viscosity) but you do get a far superior sealing affect that spray silicone. I've used the same on my heavily trusted TM SR16 with a v2 mechbox for the piston assembly and I'm happy to report that I have nothing but success.

Fortunately there is a magazine modification that fixes the bb chopping issue. I replaced the nub but not the sleeve. I also installed a new barrel. I find silicone lube to be good for about 2 magazines worth of shooting, then the bolt carrier is dry as a bone and won't slide around. One guy uses dry teflon coating with amazing results, but they don't sell teflon spray anywhere in canada. Fail. I definitely use silicone oil on the o-rings. but it just doesn't last long on the carrier.
