Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your air pistol.

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the pistol with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives.
  • Lubrication: Apply a drop of Crosman Pellgunoil or similar non-detergent oil to the tip of each new CO2 cartridge before insertion. This helps to lubricate the seals and prolong their life. Additionally, a small amount of oil can be applied to the magazine spring and feeder tip to ensure smooth operation.
  • Storage: When not in use, remove the CO2 cartridge and any BBs from the magazine. Store the air pistol in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
