This is the second time this has happened to me, the orings have actually shrunk, so i have to change them. I don't know if its because i'm using regular gun oil or what, or because of cold weather, they always shrink. Its a pain in the arse to change them to, they are just on so damn tight.

i wouldn't think that the cold weather would shrink the o-rings.. the only thing the cold weather would do is freeze the o-rings.. are they the stock o-rings? and what oil are you using

If you're using regular gun oil and not paintball gun oil, that could more than likely be your problem. They both have different qualities.

just use regular paint gun oil... its non-penetrating... other oils could also be non-penetrating but why take chances?

I get this stuff from the paintball store that is $5 per 1 oz. its made by aci - air concepts inc. seems to work great and its made specifically for air guns.

$5 is a little high. I only pay $2.50 an ounce.
