This is important before you add any lube make sure you start with a completely dry spring, piston, seal and cylinder the reason I say this is if everything is dry when you start you will know the exact amount of lube you have used and if done right will not be too wet with lube.

Use a good high pressure rated synthetic grease on the spring (very small amount) 2 good washers on the ends of the spring hmmm,,,, its been awhile,,,,,, Timken Load 50 or better on the grease.

For the seal add a bit of molly to a very small amount of grease and wipe a film of lube on the side of the seal behind the sealing surface. Or for best performance use the factory oil for the seal and use a very small amount 1 or 2 drops take your finger and wipe a film on the seal to start and then lube as the factory recommends.

I’ve done what the factory has recommended for more then 2 years with the Legacy (Crosman) and all is fine,, still working with the stock seal hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of shots.

My RWS 350 gets just what the book calls for.
