I am usually the first person to suggest this kind of work, but I don't do it without a reason. Was your gun leaking, or the reg inconsistent? If not, being so new, you really don't have to change all the orings everytime you take it apart. If you are using the oring kit that came with the gun, you are putting the same thing back in anyway. The belleville washer polishing is a good idea, it can't hurt, especially if yours has been inconsistent. The only thing that you really should have are some good plastic picks to remove orings if you do want to reuse them, and there is less chance of scratching the oring channel too. Since you are taking it right down, really clean the barrel. The first time, and usually it's the only time, I clean the barrel like a firearm barrel, a bore brush, solvent, and then I use JB bore paste and then I clean that out. You just want to make sure that all of the cosmoline is out and any machine fretting left behind is gone. After that is all done and I push a pellet down and like the way it feels, I won't do it again, usually, I'll just use pull throughs with ballistol. My .30 Paradigm I do use a brush on every now and then because the hybrids I use are really nasty, they're accurate, but nasty. Most ammo isn't like that and pull throughs work fine, unless your bore is messed up and you will find out if that is the case after you push a few rounds through your barrel. Good luck with it!
Well, if it helps, I never touched my reg and my es is probably 6fps, it's good enough to leave alone. The reg shouldn't swing at all, it should read one pressure until you drop below it and continue going down.
The regulator will improve as it’s broken in…. HOWEVER, the lube used out of the factory is crap and the cold weather performance should improve dramatically.
Reg butter from Airgun Shootist works great on all my regulators. It's like thirty bucks and you get a small tin of this stuff and all my airguns perform great! Tom at High Pressure Pneumatics supplies it as well. Keeps the reg more consistent.
Johnny on the spot!
