A: Good lubrication is very important in the Matrix, and solves a lot of "mystery" leaks and bolt-stick. Paintball gun oil works well, but does not last very long. Do not use oil made for firearms. Some people use DOW 33 (Shocker grease) but it is a little expensive and kind of sticky. White lithium grease works well, isn't sticky, is cheap and found at any hardware store. Grease will last longer than oil, but the bolt seems to cycle easier with oil. Fatty recommends white lithium grease, then some oil on that & a few drops through the ASA:
O-rings are the ONLY contact points, but you should put a little extra grease and oil on all parts as to have a reserve of sorts.
What you should make slippery:
Front wall
Cylinder
Top Hat (VERY CRUCIAL YOU LUBE THIS WELL)
Bolt (get it ALL lubed up)
Back wall
Rear plug
Get all the bolt contact points lubed up, and you will have much smoother function.
