If delrin guide and tophat fitted, lightly lube both and between any slip washers with moly.
If the piston seal has been sized (has rough sides) wipe some high moly paste around sides and wipe off. MAKE SURE NO LUBE GETS ON FRONT OF SEAL.
Some high moly paste can be applied to rear piston bearing but not too much.
Moly in the cocking slot and on the cocking shoe / foot.
Thats it.
If no delrin kit you may need to lightly lube the spring itself with some moly to calm the twang down. Too much grease on spring just throws lube every where and robs power. Better to fit a delrin kit. TBT or similar
If a break barrel, a bit of moly on the detent should ease and quieten the lockup. Dont get any near the transfer port.
