Ok..let's put this back together with a lube tune. The seal goes on in much the same way as putting a tire on a rim. Put a little chamber lube on the inner ring of the seal, get it started and push it on, if you don't have the finger mussle a small screw driver will help..carful not to muck up the seal.

Be sure the inner groove on the seal faces outward.

Yet again another subject surrounded with a lot of bow wow...Chamber lube. This will be addressed in the next photo, but for now we put some on our finger lubeing the face and outer rim of the piston seal.

Now if you lay your parts out next to the compression tube it becomes apparent of where things are in your gun. It's obvious that you don't want the moly or tar forward of the piston seal, it will result in inconsistant fireing behavior as well as create a slurry of grease in that area of air to be compressed. You also don't want it dry, the friction of this material with bare metal will burn your seal up. Your choice..listen to the kids on the forums or the enginers that designed the gun? Not much is needed, after the first few shots that smoke a little, it scrapes up just a tiny bit with no hard dieseling. Try it dry,try it lubed,burn a seal, learn a little more.
