Another thing that the additional instructions that came with the pistol from Mays the importers is to lube the oring and the bevelled edge of the gas chamber with vaseline, I have never done it but it might help.

Mine came with quite limited instructions, how many shots do you fire before changing the co2 bulb, and do you release the gas very slowly, or do you just undo it as normal.Originally Posted by Peter Pig

I get about 60-70 shots now, before it was serviced it was 50ish and would not index the mag correctly.
I shoot until the gun Fa*** out the gas, if you want to empty the gun put a mag. in and shoot without pellets till empty, do not unscrew the piercer.

Look on the Pilkguns.com site for the Tau 7, it will have similar mechanism. For the Tau 7, 50-80 shots. They mention dumping residual pressure down the barrel by pressing the cocking lugs rearwards against the valve to open it (not sure this is the same on the Aeron). I tried it on the Tau 7 but it is difficult to work against the gas pressure, so I just fire off until the gas pressure has reduced before attempting to remove the piercing cap.

Similar for the Tau 7. The user instructions on Pilkguns.com refers to the use of a very small amount of silicone grease.

Good grief, this did help on my Tau 7, after several lost C02 bulbs, it did not leak. I had been applying a smear of oil (as I had read on other threads for the Tau 7), but that did not help. Amazed that vaseline did the job. As mentioned above, the user guide on the Pilkguns website refers to a slight amount of silicone grease on the o-ring in the piercing cap and on the bevel inside the chamber.

Glad to hear it...hopefully you are now sorted...just one question... How often do you add the vaz...on every co2 or on every o ring??
Cheers

I would only apply a tiny amount infrequently to the chamber (and o-ring less so as not so easy to get at). I would not want too much in, as it probably mixes with the gas and finds its way into the valve seals. Not sure of the long term effect of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on the seals, but at least it got the pistol working.
The Pilkguns information on the Tau 7 is HERE. It advises to apply a very small amount of silicone grease to insides of the pressure vessel where the o-ring from the cap slides. This should be done infrequently as needed.
I do not have any silicone grease (yet) and suspect one has to be careful with its use (silicone oil is a no no for metal to metal surfaces). I did notice that when the Tau 7 arrived it had some very heavy/thick/sticky grease on the piercing cap/seals, not sure what it was but clearly it needs some heavy lubricant to help the seal in the piercing cap to work effectively.
