You need a drop of Pell Gun oil (30W non-detergent oil will do) on each and every CO2 cartridge. The other thing is keep hydrocarbon oil away from the piston (transfer port) of your rifle to prevent dieseling. You don't have a super high power PCP so leading of the barrel shouldn't be a problem for you. Don't clean the barrel again unless group size gets worse. Once the barrel is clean, measure group size for the best pellet. But JB paste is abrasive, and you have to be very careful to get clean out every bit of it.

Can you tell me what I need to start out with for cleaning the guns? And do you recommend a website that shows you the basics on how to to clean them properly? I looked on Pyramyd Air for the basics, but I couldn't find any info. Currently I have a Crosman Phantom 1000X, a Umarex HK USP (love this gun), and a Crosman PRO77. Perhaps I should re-run my testing for high power? Hope to see a bunch of you at Roanoke next month.ī.B., A little off topic question for you or anyone else who can help me I'm new to the airgunning world and am looking to build my first cleaning kit.

I decided to load and see if it would fire anyway and no, I DID NOT put my finger in front of the muzzle but fired at a target. I thought I hadn't pierced the cartridge as I heard no hiss of gas. I picked up my Crosman Model 99 after having it soaking in silicon oil for several days and put another CO2 cartridge in.
