Cleaning and Maintenance
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2006 10:51 am
I just purchased an FWB 700. While I am familiar with PCP airguns (and springers), this is my first PCP match rifle. Thus, my question: What basic maintenance and cleaning should be performed on a PCP match rifle?
I know to keep petroleum based oils away from the gun and anything else associated with it (compressed air and low flash point oils are not a happy combination).
I assume that very little, if any, barrel cleaning is necessary as it shoots soft lead pellets at low velocity. Should I shoot a couple of felt cleaning pellets through it occasionally? Perform any other cleaning of the barrel?
Any general lubrication dos and don'ts?
The manual is not much help in many respects, although it it is in a couple of different languages. :)
Thank you!
