NEVER OIL YOUR BARREL – Due to the nature of Airguns, oiling your barrel is a massive no-go. Not only can it get inside the various mechanisms found within an airgun, damaging them in the process, it can also cause dieseling, in which the oil combusts as you fire a pellet.

Oiling your air rifle will not necessarily make it more accurate. However, it will help to keep your gun clean and reduce friction and wear, which is no bad thing.

Consistency is key when it comes to airguns and how you hold and shoot them. Most shooters find a limit of around 20-30 yards for hunting consistently, however, some accurately hunt beyond 50 yards with “springers”. It all comes down to how well you and your rifle work together.

To keep air rifles away from the wrong hands store them in a lockable cupboard or a gun cabinet. The keys must be kept away from the cabinet separately and in a secure place. If the cupboard does not have a lock you can use a secure locking device to attach the air rifle to the fabric of a building or a fixed feature.

After every thousand shots, apply a drop of gun lubricant inside the compression chamber. Use only airgun-rated oils. Many other oils can damage the seals. If your air rifle becomes less accurate, check the screws in the sides of the stock.

How often will depend upon your particular barrel, the purity and type of lead used to make your chosen pellet, and its velocity. Some people like to clean after 250 or so pellets and some will even do so every time they shoot their rifle.

I can recommend these pellets for accuracy and damage to small game/pests out of any mid to high powered 4.5mm air rifle. I would recommend however, to buy a small amount only if you have never used these in your rifle as some can suffer accuracy loss simply from not being suited to the pellet.
