Product Information

This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. It doesn’t take much but you should apply some oil/rust preventative to the outside of your air rifle every now and then. I haven’t seen any evidence supporting that claim, but there is plenty of evidence pointing to their effectiveness.

Some of the products being used can irritate skin and eyes, and we are also dealing with the removal of lead, a poisonous metal. You may want to add a little grease to the rear of your bolt or the hinge mechanism on your sidelever. Not only will this give it a high-quality sheen finish, but it will also protect it from mild impacts. It’s also a good idea to clean a new barrel before shooting, to get rid of any manufacturing oil or lead residue. You may also want to get a pull-through cleaner, which can be helpful in getting all the dirt and grime out of your barrel.

You must ENSURE this is gun oil though and not motor oil, which is far too thick and will seize the internal mechanisms while softening the wood in the process. There are test results that say it’s not as serious an issue as some people will tell you, but when it is a problem it’s an expensive one to fix. My preference is to clean the barrel after shooting a tin of pellets, as it’s easy to keep track of the number of shots I’ve fired. An argument for using Nylon is that over time even a soft metal like brass can wear away at your steel barrel.

Airgun oil: Aerosol oils like Power Airgun Oil can be sprayed down the barrel to help loosen lead deposits before cleaning begins in earnest. A PCP like the BSA Ultra XL is the simplest to deal with, as it features an air stripper that just unscrews. In closing, these are a number of tasks you can perform to ensure your air rifle is maintained to a good standard.Whenever you work on a rifle, it should be checked to see it’s safe and supported in a gun vice or cradle. Repeatedly plugging away, hoping the pull-through will eventually find the bore, isn’t a great idea either.
