Unregulated rifles: (Harrier X) Every 3 years
Regulated rifles: (CR-X, Mk3 RT, MK3 FT) Every 2 years
Reservoir:
The steel under-barrel pressure chamber must always be kept in
good order. Should damage occur i.e. denting, rusting, exposure
to extremes of either heat or cold or any other blemish, it is
advisable to return the gun for an inspection and pressure test.
Every 15 years the rifle should be returned to the factory or
their approved agents, to be inspected and the air reservoir
pressure tested to confirm its safety.
Hand Pumps:
This type of charger offers an inexpensive and convenient
method of charging your rifle. They do not contain the
sophisticated water extraction and dirt removal filters found in
breathing quality air compressors usually used to fill a scuba
tank. If you regularly use this type of charger, care should be
taken to avoid condensation build-up from inside the pump
being transferred to the rifle. The pump should not be used in
sandy or dusty conditions. Always refer to the pump
manufacturers operating instructions.
Walnut Stock:
The stock is finished with a high-grade two-pack eggshell
varnish and should be periodically cleaned using proprietary
furniture wax. If it becomes damaged it is not necessary to strip
the entire stock. Simply sand or wire wool the damaged area
and reseal with an appropriate varnish.
Beech Stock:
All beech stocks are lacquer finished. This type of finish gives
a darker appearance to the stock.

Note: If the lacquer were to be removed then the lighter colour
of the Beech would show through. All scratches and dents can
be repaired in the same way as the walnut stock.
Action:
Steel parts are chemically blackened, or on silver finished parts,
hard chromed. Aluminium parts are anodised for a tough and
durable finish. Daystate recommend that a silicone or synthetic
based product applied to a cloth be used to wipe over the entire
outside of the gun, making sure that the entire area is covered
with an even amount to protect the metal parts. Do not use oils
that contain rust inhibitors on chemically blackened parts (such
as WD40, 3-in one oil, etc.) as this can adversely affect the
finish.
Lubrication:
The bolt shaft should be lubricated with a small amount of light
grease. Do not allow any grease to get onto the pellet channel
where it could enter the barrel. DO NOT OIL OR GREASE
any of the internal parts such as the striker or hammer, the inlet
valve system or the snap-on connector (filler valve). Doing this
could cause problems with consistency & unit sealing. See also
filling instructions.
Trigger Adjustment – Mechanical 2 stage trigger.
Fitted to all Harrier models - See diagram.
Note: It is advisable to remove the rifle’s action from the stock
to adjust the trigger.

st
Adjustment: Adjusts the second stage weight setting. To
increase the weight, turn the screw anti-clockwise and
clockwise to lighten the weight.
IMPORTANT. Adjusting this screw too far clockwise will
cause the sear NOT to engage and the gun will not cock.
