Always a shame to strip an immaculate/new/boxed Airsporter for the sake of a shot buffer washer!
(probably would affect the value of a 'minter' rifle if it had to be done. Incorrect lube/oils seem to be the culprit over time!

I must admit, I would be very reluctant to strip my two good ones and I definitely would not entrust the job to anyone else. I hope and believe that the Ballistol I use will not have any negative affect on the buffer washers. It shouldn't do. The other big enemy of any kind of rubber is time though.......
Happy Shooting!! Paul.
