I have an HW 100 and it seems the reg piston is sticking. I rebuilt it using viton orings and moly grease. Any thoughts ? Could the moly be too thick ?

NBR O rings work perfect in HW100.
Don't apply anything except very light Silicon oil on O rings.
I have rebuild many hw100 with success.

Itll fire, no air moving, i wiped excess moly off leaving a fine film, gun working perfectly.
on average, i shoot about 200 shots a day. Been through three sets of " Factory" NBR o rings. They fail on the piston. Why i went up to Viton.
i think i may have just applied a little too much moly. Gun is back to swatting flies.

I had used the oring kit from Ebay. Good kit but the last rebuild kit i bought drom hw100tuning.com. great kit, everythung labled and high quality. I also bought their gauge to set my reg pressure.

Moly has tiny particles of graphite in it. That causes problem. You just need little silicon oil.
No mineral based oil at all.
It will work as good even with NBR.
