seems that all the maintenance they mentioned on the manual for disc. 22 is to lube the tiny o ring on the bolt, and they recommend their silicone chamber oil, i'm just wondering if there's any alternatives, i've heard any silicone grease would work, anything good you guys been using?

Go to the nearest dive shop and pick up a small container of "divers silicone". It comes in a small, round plastic container with an air tight snap on lid and this little container will last you a very long time. Divers silicone is actually "food grade", it works fantastic and there's absolutely nothing in it that can damage your pcp.

Here ya go.... they sell it at "R&L Airguns".
http://www.rlairgunsupply.com/airgun-accessories/divers-silicone/
They also sell a smaller container at "Straight Shooters"... I'd get this one as this small container will last forever and it's much less expensive.

Hope this helps you out.

Go to AutoZone , get ya one of those little disc break silicone grease package. if you have some 30wt nd oil, or even some air tool oil, AutoTrans fluid. you can even go to the Academy and find a pencil oiler.
ya dont need much to keep the Oring pliable.

Get some dielectric grease (pure silicone) at the auto parts store. You can also use it when you change plugs. One 2 oz. tube should last a lifetime. Less than $10.00.
