I’ve used silicone spray for the rubber seals on our vehicles and also for marine applications over the years - it does seem to keep rubber items supple & clean. Ballistol also claims to be suitable for rubber. Storing the gun upside down after a routine wipe when using the gun is great advice.
I, too really like the pad quite a bit and definitely want to keep it in good shape. My Dad bought this gun about a year after I was born and it probably has a lot to do with my strong affinity for bird dogs and western skies.
