Lube Recommendation
205g0 or 3204. These linears benefit from a nice thick lube. Give the whole stem a nice light coat, and give the bottom housing sliders a medium coating. I also recommend a spring swap and oiling, but the stock springs are quite pleasant if you're looking to keep things closer to stock.
Some people like thick films on these, some don't bother - your call!
