Spring Operated Airgun Maintenance Tips


1- After each shooting session run a lightly oiled cloth over all gun metal. The 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 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. This is most easily accomplished with the use of our RWS 3 ½" applicator needle. This oil is a non-petroleum based lubricant specifically 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. The breech seal is a rubberized O-ring located at the back of the barrel where the pellet is seated. This 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. The 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 rifle bore with RWS Bore Cleaner & Degreaser. Apply this solution to a clean patch and pass through barrel from the breech end if possible. Then, use a bore brush with nylon bristles to further loosen up remaining deposits of lead and debris. After this process, once again utilize the bore cleaner solution on clean patches until they appear clean upon exiting barrel.

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.
