Spring-Gun
Shooting Tips
1. Spring piston airguns typically require
500-1,000 shots to break in properly.
Groups may be erratic for the rst
100+ shots.
2. DO NOT bench rest on ANY solid
objects! NO part of the gun should rest on
a rigid surface or object.
3. Utilize sand bags, pillows, or folded quilts
as a shooting surface.
4. e gun barrel is NEVER to rest on any
surface when shooting.
5. Position the gun so that it is resting and
pointing at a specic target point without
being held. You can then ease into the
shooting position without changing sight
picture. By taking out as much of the
“human factor” of holding the gun, your
accuracy will most likely improve.
6. SQUEEZE the trigger - pulling the
trigger and/or jerking the trigger will result
in terrible accuracy.
7. Follow-through is Very Important. Try not
to blink when the gun res and continue to
focus on the precise point of aim.
8. Always hold the gun “loosely” at the
forearm and in the shoulder. Spring guns
usually become inaccurate when
held tightly.
9. Changing your shooting position or grip
can and will aect your point of impact.
10. Each rie is individual and has its
own characteristics. To achieve the best
performance, you should try an
RWS Pellet Sampler pack of pellets to
see which ammo your gun shoots the
most accurately.
11. Use only high quality pellets in your rie,
such as the RWS line of pellets. ey
are much cleaner and manufactured to
more exacting tolerances.
12. Do not dry re your rie as this can
damage your gun.
Spring-Gun
Maintenance
Schedule
1) After each shooting session run a lightly
oiled cloth over all gun metal.
RWS Spring Cylinder Oil works great for
this application.
2) At 100 shot intervals, clean gun barrel
with RWS Felt Cleaning Pellets.
Insert two of the correct caliber felt pellets
into the breech end of barrel. Push
cleaning pellets through barrel with an
RWS Flexible Cleaning Rod and repeat
process until felt pellets appear clean when
exiting the muzzle.
3) At 1,000 shot intervals apply two drops of
RWS Chamber Lube down in the
compression chamber port. is is most
easily accomplished with the use of
an RWS 3 ½" applicator needle. is oil is
a non-petroleum based lubricant
specically formulated for this application.
Regular types of petroleum based oils
applied in this area will cause your gun to
diesel. Dieseling is the explosion resulting
from oil being ignited in the compression
chamber due to the extreme air temperature
created when the gun is discharged.
4) At 1,000 shot intervals apply one drop of
RWS Chamber Lube to the breech seal.
e breech seal is a rubberized O-ring
located at the back of the barrel where the
pellet is seated. is will extend the life of
the O-ring and ensure a positive seal.
5) At 1,000 shot intervals apply six drops of
RWS Spring Cylinder Oil to the main
spring of gun. e stock must be removed
to access this area. After the stock has been
removed, you can see coils of the main
spring through an opening on the
underneath side of gun.
6) At 1,000 shot intervals apply one drop of
RWS Spring Cylinder Oil to all hinge or
pivot points on the gun.
7) At 1,000 shot intervals clean the rie
bore with a non-ammonia based bore
cleaner. Apply this solution to a felt
cleaning pellet and pass through the barrel
from the breech end whenever possible.
en, use a bore brush with nylon bristles
(no metal brush) to further loosen up
remaining deposits of lead and debris. After
this process, once again use the bore cleaner
on felt cleaning pellets until they appear
clean upon exiting the barrel. Finally, run
dry felt cleaning pellets through the barrel
to complete the process. Note: On break
barrel ries use a clean cloth to wipe any
remaining bore cleaner residue from the
breech seal.
8) At 1,000 shot intervals run a lightly oiled
patch through the barrel. Always push
cloth from the breech end if possible.
RWS Spring Cylinder Oil works great for
this application.
