What normal maintenance does the air rifle require?
About every 50 – 100 shots, the pumping plant piston requires about 2 – 4 drops of 50 – 30 weight silicone oil. A few drops of a light machine oil should be applied to the bolt and firing hammer occasionally. The Viton O-rings have Teflon back-up rings installed at the pumping piston and differential piston. These appear to hold up extremely well and I have not had to replace a seal with many thousands of shots. The barrel needs to be cleaned about every 200 – 300 shots to maintain accuracy. We recommend using Beeman .22 Quick Cleaning Pellets to clean the barrel.
