CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the rifle is recommended
- After getting wet
- In the mild weather conditions at least once a year
- In the severe weather conditions at least once per month, depending on frequency of use
Cleaning the bore and pellet chamber
For ultimate accuracy clean and re-lube the barrel frequently.
Correct materials for this purpose are very important; therefore use only products recommended by air
rifle specialists in relevant countries. Cleaners and oils intended for guns may not be suitable for air
guns. Air guns require special equipment. For cleaning we recommend the following procedure:
- Cut a piece of the nylon (or nylon coated) fishing line (10 kg) 3-times the length of your barrel, fold in
half and tie ends together.
- Open loading lever.
- Feed un-knotted end down barrel from the muzzle end until short piece of folded end protrudes.
- Pass a piece of the soft cotton cloth between the protruding loop, spray it with "Gun Cleaner" or white
spirit, turn the rifle upside down and pull the line through the barrel slowly.
- Repeat the previous two steps until the cloth is clean.
- Repeat the previous two steps once more without any cleaner to dry the barrel.
- Repeat the previous two steps once more with the cloth sprayed with "Gun Oil".
Barrel: for constant precision clean the barrel with a felt type VFG, or VFG.
Superintensive (abrasive) for a more aggressive cleaning.
Fig.12
Every 100 shots you should fire 4-5 felt pads. Do not use any type of brush.

Maintenance of other parts of the rifle can be carried out with a dry soft cloth, on the stock may be
applied a suitable product – oil preservative (walnut wood stock is oiled).
With a soft cloth and a Teflon - based lubricant oil (PTFE) or silicone, clean the surface and the sights.
