Travis, my issue is the o ring in the thimble. What is the proper size and hardness?
It was tattered. LOL! More worried about the db. Mike
Alrighty guys I received my raptor HP .257 last week! Beautiful gun, love the fit and finish..: but it’s leaking. About 1200 psi over a 24 hour period; very slow leak. What can I do to remedy this? Thanks!
I think I solved the issue with the o ring in the thimble. I have some Super Lube here that was supposed to be silicone grease and Teflon. However I was suspicious and ran down the numbers on the tube. It was NOT as sold, but rather a highly refined clear grease with Teflon. This would lead me to strongly suspect possible detonation in the thimble itself. Not Good!!! As soon as I can I will order silicone grease again. I do have up to 100 wt here in the shop. It should suffice until I can get some divers grease. the thimble is very well polished in side and it (detonation) is the only thing I can think of that would destroy an o ring is such a manner.Certainly not an issue with the JSAR assembly what so ever.

KnifeThey were using KRYTOX grease on the thimbles. I have been using Lubiplate GR-132 with very good results.

GRRRRR!!! Yep, but my old XP did give great service for over 15 years without a hitch, so I bought HP again. Now I need to find someone who can transfer the pic's in it to the new Hp. Lots of more space in it for them and many, many more. It claims to be able to hold well over a million pics. Woo-H00!!!Done and done! Just installed a new computer. Whew, a LOT to learn!!!Computers can be a big pain in the arse !!! I recently had to revamp mine as well Michael, the ole hard drive that was in it finally gave up.
