hi, i have a question. what would cause the oring on the lpr to shread everytime you put it together? it keep shreading and causing a major leak. im getting an nme in a trade and we are trying to fix this problem before it is shipped out. im new to this so dont flame me. thank you

[loser555]

umm if its not lubed and you skrew the part on it can get caught in the threads and shread

[ToxicImpulse316]

thats what i was thinking. could there be any other possable reasons why it would be doing this?

Just lube the o-ring on the piston and you should be fine.

[The Field Tech]

which ring? The ring on the silver piston, the ring on the chamber-seat conenction, or the seat to front block connection?

Anyway, just lube both surfaces of the ring's contact points and use a flaw-free ring.

it's the oring on the piston. everything seems normal with the lpr but it just keeps chewing the hell out if the orings put into it. the 3rd party has tried multipul types of lube on the oring but it still keeps getting destroyed. hes using hi quality orings too. also should the piston be able to slide fairly easly? hes going to a shop tonight to see if a timmy tech knows what is going on, but what do you guys think?

[blaster44]

Yes, the piston should be easy to remove from the regulator.

[The Field Tech]

He should run a Q-tip around the seat surface of the lpr tube and if it shreds the Qtip, then he needs to de-burr the inside surface.

some one should make a step by step walk through of how to clean and lube your LPR with pics


this would help a lot of people out

[The Field Tech]

Already on it. Making an HPR one too.

[ToxicImpulse316]

tried the qtip method didnt work. still does the same thing shreads the oring but everything else is normal

[The Field Tech]

Is the O-ring the correct size?
