    My experience over the years is that the factory seals take some beating and there are no particular advantages (and a few disadvantages) of other types of seals.
    I've tried Venom, V mach, PTFE, Custom air seals and always reverted to the HW factory seal.

    I can second this but only if
    it's a new-type HW-seal
    it's limited to sub-12fpe power use

    If you intend a lot of use at FAC you probably will be better off using any of the other brands.
    As most of them are little bit oversized they may need some resizing. Or two tins for running in.

    New type HW or LGV/U seal.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
