Looking After Your Airgun


Recommended Posts


Darryl,

Thanks for posting the video mate, very useful to a newbie like me. :thumbs:

 

Bit of advice please mate, how do you clean the barrel on your Prosport? I cannot thread my Napier pull through down the barrel on my Prosport. The rifle shoots Ok as I have already put some pellets through it.

 

Thanks again.

 

Regards.

Don't clean it until your accuracy drops off! Although I admit its always tempting to think "I wonder if the accuracy will improve even more if I give it a clean" :D Sometimes you can make it worse until its leaded up again.

 

Thumbs up for Balistol oil too, I use it regularly :thumbs:

Thanks for the advice guys, its all greatfully received.

I bought the Prosport second hand last week for £330, which included a cr*p scope and a gun bag,cocked and fired it several times on the shops range and all seems OK.

When I got home I cleaned all the finger prints of the barrel with a cloth impregnated with Napier Power Airgun Oil and its come up a treat.

(When I checked the serial number with Air Arms they told me it was manufactured in July 2011.)

It will be used on the club range on Saturday so I will then have a better idea of its accuracy, and then perhaps decide if the barrel needs a clean.

But I suspect any duff shots will not be the fault of the rifle. :icon_redface:

Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my question.

Regards.

Russ
