as for what kind of lube to use, gold cup or any thin paintball marker lube will be fine, as for the bolt, delrin is a "self-lubricating" material meaning that since it is basically a plastic it is slick enough to move freely in the chamber adn not cause friction. Plus delrin (especially sheaper grades) has been known to swell with some kinds of lubes and a mixture of heat or paint so i would say leave the bolt alone just make sure you take it out and clean it really well especially after chops.

I don't know about that particular reg but most are the same, there is usually a allen screw somewhere near the middle and that is to adjust the reg which will affect your velocity: reg pressure ^^^= velocity increase, reg pressure down= velocity decrease.
the other way to change velocity is like my detonator on my pimp you loosen a set screw and actually turn the bottom half of the reg to adjust it.

I am pretty sure the hyper is the fist kind I described

Sorry about the double post but I missed something: check the kingman stickies or the new paintballers stickies for instructions on how to lube the marker

Use lube for your ram! not oil. Dow 33 (shocker lube) is good enough. Dumbest thing you would do if you oiled it. I heard Oil swells Delrin bolts so I just use lube..

well in a low end mlow back gold cup oil etc doesn't hurt anything trust me I have been using it in my TES for 3 years and hte thing still shoots like a dream just don't directly put it on hte delrin bolt

but yes shocker lube or anyother kind or marker lube will work just as well probly a little better
