Less is more with the lube but i finds bum slide the best .
Just a tiny bit smeared on the top and bottom of the piston .
Don't pout any lube near the seal they don't need it.
And far less than you would be tempted to put on the guides .
Just a little rub of moly on the spring .
There was a big thing about some 77 and 97 compression cylinders not being properly round i would have thought hw might have sorted that out by now it was new guns about 3or 4 years ago .
