Barrel cleaning
To keep your rifle in the peak of performance it is recommended that the barrel is periodi-
cally cleaned and re-oiled. The exact time or when to clean the barrel will vary from rifle to rifle,
we generally state that if you see the accuracy ‘going off’ now is the time to clean. Lead is a natural
lubricant and most barrels will benefit from having several hundred shots fired through after clean-
ing to come back to their best performance.
The best way to do this is with a pull through and rifle cleaning pads using a little cleaning
fluid and gun oil. Air Arms use Napier cleaning products.
BEFORE CLEANING MAKE SURE THE RIFLE IS NOT COCKED OR LOADED
1. Cut several 30mm lengths of cleaning cloth
2. Spray a small amount of the cleaning fluid into the bore of the rifle, be sure not
to soak the action
3. Thread the pull through down the barrel, this may be easier with a straw or
similar plastic tube when feeding from the muzzle end
4. Place a piece of cleaning cloth through the loop and spray a little more cleaning
fluid onto the cloth, Now pull the cloth slowly through the barrel.
5. Repeat this process until the cloth comes through clean
6. Now repeat the process with an oiled pad
Once this has been completed it is recommended that 10-20 shots are fired through the barrel
to clear excess oil and re-lead the barrel.

Miscellaneous
The pivot points of the wind indicator, level housing, cocking arm and link will benefit
from a small amount of oil occasionally and the loading bolt shaft should be wiped over with an oil
impregnated cloth after use. The loading bolt shaft runs on bearings and does not need oil to operate,
this process is to ensure the shaft stays clean and does not allow dirt into the action.
Wipe oil onto the filling probe O rings to keep them from drying out. This will also increase
their life span. Do not let excess oil enter the filling probe.
