help with a pe shocker...
- Thread starter ChiZZerS

Shockers need stripping and greasing every 4000 balls, or once a month.
You'll need to get hold of some Dow grease and a shocker spares kit (or 6!), which is basically a set of o-rings. Lots of o-rings and 2 solenoids is about all that makes a shocker go.
When changing an o-ring around a major assembly (i.e. those around the fill poppet or the bolt housing), change the whole lot, otherwise you will be forever chasing leaks.
Easy to maintain once you get used to taking them apart and putting them back together. I would recommend regular maintainance as a good alternative to new solenoids. You don't want to know what they cost!!!!
Also bear in mind that shockers run at very low pressure, so any debris getting inside can jam them up. I've heard rumours of people using too much or too viscous grease and stopping the bolt from moving. Never seen it personally so i'd take it with a pinch of salt, however get a good quality light grease (grease not OIL!!!)
As for barrels, they use shocker barrels, period.

thanx man.......... what lubes and greasedo i need to get and what is each lube or grease for for?
Dow Corning 33, just clean off all the old lube on the bolt and put new stuff on and squidge it round with your fingers. Then you can take apart the firing piston and do that aswell but you don't have to really.
Can't remember who I got this from otherwise I'd credit them, but this is a good step by step guide:
