- I see a lot of posts referring to C-386 and C-836 springs for use in Longshot plungers. Which one is the right one?
- What is the best lubricant to use to lubricate a LS plunger and tube? All I have available is WD40, and something tells me that that might not be entirely safe

Thanks!

Neither spring is really that good. If you're on the cheap, go grab a Nite Finder and use the spring in that.

Never seen a C-386 spring, I believe it was confused with the C-836... BUT DONT USE THEM FOR LONGSHOTS!!!!!11shiftoneone11!!!11208 (over exaduration) Buy a V2 Longshot spring from blacktactical.com and reinforce your boltsled.

Try it out yourself. You didn't mention which gun you're using it on.

You gotta test it if it'll cause too much friction or whether the seal is perfect.

And yeah - an o ring for more than 5 bucks is a complete rip off. Even if you're just going to use 2-3 out of a set of 30, those $2 ones you get from the reject shop are better value.

At the moment I'm using a BT spectre spring. It's okay... but I'm thinking the BT Dart tag spring is a tonne better... like how the BT maverick spring dumps all over the BT Spectre spring when used in the Mav.

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Price: *****
Ease of Use: *****
Build Quality: *****
Usefulness: *****
Overall Rating: *****
Pros:
-Price. For the same price as an average rechargable NiMh AA cell you have a Li-Ion cell. So come on, even if they would have less capacity than advertised, it is still an excellent deal.
-They work as advertised, unprotected cheap cells for any 3.7V AA size application.
Cons:
None so far. Even if there were some small ones, the proce would make up for them.
Other Thoughts:
Great for AA cell size flashlight mods.
I use them for my E-sig. Unprotected cells are ok here, as you will notified by the deminished smoke that it is tome to re-charge. Make sure the charger is well controlled.
Bottomline:
Get these cells if you intend to buy unprotected 14500's, use a good charger.

I didn't know 16mm conduit could have variations. Mine's grey, I had been looking for orange conduit, but in the Home Timber and Hardware that I went to they had 16mm grey, and then the 20mm, 25mm and 32mm were orange
